We wanted to split up the usual day trip into 2 days and ad some other activities. Namal gave me a clear trip and cost break down in advance and arranged everything. He was great company and ensured we had everything we needed. All the site are amazing and worth the visit. I highly recommend!

The sites are amazing and well worth the trip. Even it's a long day our driver Rukshan made it so comfortable. I think this tour worth it. I'd recommend this tour to anybody.

The day started early and Rukshan collected us at 5am. Due to a downpour it took us a little longer to get to where we were going owing to road closures but we were kept informed throughout and knew exactly where we were. Stopped off for a decent breakfast and then on to the tour actual. It would be easy to harp on about how amazing the sights were and you could read that anywhere. The difference came from Rukshan who was incredibly accommodating throughout, explained everything, stopped whenever we asked, pulled over to see animals etc. We were behind schedule but felt at all times that the only thing important to Rukshan was our experience. When we were driving back around 11pm he was determined to find us somewhere to eat. Even with him working the next day he looked after us. I'd recommend it based on this alone. Superb. Thanks, gents

The actual sites are amazing and well worth the trip. VERY long day so be prepared, left at 5:30am and returned at 9pm. I rated it lower because of the company. The driver was wonderful. However, the trip costs $160 but does not include entrance fees (an additional $65) or a tour guide (an extra $60). You should also dress appropriately because it is hot and humid. Sigiryia is 1200+ steps one way so shoes, hat and water are a must! Temple cave is another 300 steps one way up. Great trip but not impressed with company at all.

Very long day but if you’re limited on time then this is a good way to pack in a lot of sites and info. But you will be very exhausted! Wear very comfy, ankle-support shoes. We did sigiriya which was not too busy in the morning. This was good if you’re slower climbers like we were. It was nice to stop along the way to take photos. The scenes are amazing. Polonuwara is really beautiful. Ancient ruins and untouched, preserved temples and monuments. Not sure if this tour included a tour guide but if so, he wasn’t very informative. Really nice but just said basic stuff and didn’t really explain much about the sites. We used the information brochure given to us for most of it. It is huge with many sites and you could easily spend a whole day just here. Dambulla cave temple was definitely my favorite. A must see. Would recommend saving this for last as e sunset views were just gorgeous. It’s a little bit of a climb but not too bad. The driving pretty erratic but I guess that is the way of life on single lane roads in Sri Lanka. The tour includes water but all else is excluded so ask in advance about amount of cash needed for entrance fees. The breakfast spot was not good. Would highly recommend changing to a different place with more varied options and authentic Sri Lankan bfast items and staff without an attitude. Lunch was good, varied options as it was a buffet and cheap (700 Sri Lankan rupees for 2 of us). We started at 5:30am and arrived back to our Colombo hotel at 10pm. Just to give you an idea of the day. Overall, we would do this tour again due to our time restraint. If we had more days in Sri Lanka, we would have done 2 day excursions and broken this all up.

Quite adventurous tour, spiced up by heavy rain at times. Very good job by the tour guide, experienced and keeps the right pace. The tour is demanding but it is well worth while. Well off the beaten track. It is very hard to summarize the beauty of the whole journey...luxuriously green paddy fields, quaint villages, Buddhist monasteries, tropical plantations all over the steep hills, plenty of wild life, such as deer and colorful exotic birds, as one moves up...then comes the pristine rain forest of Knuckles, crisscrossed by water falls. This journey is not for the heart fainted though. Unlike other touristy sites i did not come across hoards of tourists...maybe a handful of hikers ...which was awesome.

We have visited Sri Lanka with two families. It was a full week tour we made more than 1200 km Visited more than five different places across Sri Lanka. Tour was brilliantly organized by Belkin Tales and we had 2 great tour guides, Brian and Samir guided us along the entire trip. Definitely a great vacation and a highly recommend the tour by Namal & Belkin Tales. Thanks to all... 😀

It was my 1st visit to Sri Lanka as organised by this esteem co. lead by Mr Namal our tour guide. We are blessed to engage them esp our tour guide who are very professional throughout the journey. What was best,was that my sister gave me a surprise birthday celebration assisted by the staff on a train. Will be going for another trip to cover other destination. Kudos! Mr Namal and team God bless and Big Thank you....

This was our first visit to the beautiful island country and I wanted to cover as many places in 5 days. Namal gave us a fantastic itinerary that covered Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, Ella, Udawalanga, Galle, Ambalangoda and Colombo in such a short period of time. And our tour guide Indunil made it a relaxing and enjoyable experience. An amazing country with amazing people and Belkin made it a memorable experience. Thank you Namal and Indunil!

We had Mr Nala for our guide. Such a knowledgeable, sincere man. Always with a big smile for us and everyone else he met enroute. He was very considerate (kept the car quiet in the morning ride so we could catch up on sleep) and changed plans to accommodate us when we got tired. The car felt new and clean and the aircon was blessedly cold. The sights were all beautiful, but note that by regulation, Mr nala can't act as a guide there. You have to get a dedicated guide at each UNESCO site if u want one.

Well it was one of the best holiday of mine, firstly it was my honeymoon, my first holiday with him !! Namal n INDUNEEL made it very special for us, they arranged the best rooms with beautiful ambience.. N yes the country is truly a bliss !! Warmest people, lovely food and the best of all we’re NAMAL, and his entire team !! It was worth the time !! Loved it entirely.. Thanks again BELKIN TALES for the best service .. Will always recommend u and your team 💕💕💕

Place is very clean and well maintained. While I was hesitant at the start because of the height, enjoyed the visit. The top view is breathtaking.

Was there on 5 December . The trip cost 7000 slr . Wake up early in the morning 5:30 then go to the boat and wait hour and half to go in the see . I have be there barefoot and can u imagine what is on the floor . Full with China tourist which get sick for the sea and trow up all the time- awful. All trip is two hour and very small chance for see the whale even for few seconds . No time for photo even .

They try to cheat by not providing a guide. They asked me to pay for it. And I did pay for it thinking they would pay back to me. This happens At first location. After visiting first location I confronted him and asked him, a local guide is already included in the package. Then diver makes some calls and apologizes for his mistake. And promises to do it properly. And the rest of the journey was ok. But they did not deliver what they promised. Bottom line it was not good. I never got the refund. And viator was also not good at their job. Upon receiving the complaint. They they said that typical apology. We are sorry thank you for your patience.

- great price/value - friendly driver - knowledgeable tour guides - cover lots of important historic sides of Sri Lanka TIPS: - advice customer it will be a LONG day from Colombo (about 4 hour drive each way) - the whole tour will be approximately 15-16 hours, ONLY IF YOU ARE FIT AND ABLE TO WALK IN DECENT SPEED, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO DO THIS WHOLE TOUR IN 1 DAY - you need cover ups for legs/arms for the temples - maybe offer a tour with one less stop, to make it suitable for all people without rushing Thank you for my wonderful day!
