“We were really pleased with our driver Madusanka, he was punctual, showed us all the sights & did a great job driving in difficult (very wet!) conditions. He was flexible with the itinerary, took photos of us, and we had a lovely buffet lunch. We were very grateful to him for taking us to the beautiful and atmospheric Dambulla Cave Temple and Sigiriya as well as the golden temple. We would recommend this to anyone.

“Good value for money, Mangala was excellent company and very flexible about our trip. Lots of recommendations but no pressure on doing things we didn't want to. There was no pressure on time. It's a classic tourist itinerary. Mangala took us somewhere nice for lunch. It's better if you pick from the list of trip options beforehand so it's easier for Mangala to plan the trip. We went to the Hindu temple (outside as it's currently closed), the wood carving shop, Sigriya Rock and Dambulla caves. Would recommend! *****”
