Colombo to Sigiriya and Dambulla Day Trip: UNESCO Sites Tour
The driver was very...
The driver was very friendly. Communication was good. The day was great. The itinerary is confusing as it schedules lunch, however this is not included in the cost.

Reserved Train Seats from Colombo to Mirissa Beach
I will repeat the experience!
I booked very easily. I then received an email with all the explanations to turn the reservation into a ticket on site. And then another email in which the post was attached. At the station, on the platform, the station master directs people to the location of the 1st or 2nd class cars before the train arrives. On the 1st class train where I was the controller has the passenger list that he ticks when he checks tickets and warns you when the next station is your destination! Excellent.
