Who's driving

Local guides, not a tour bus

Dambulla Tours is a small team of licensed guides born and raised at the foot of Sigiriya Rock. We don't do coach parks or fixed scripts. We drive you ourselves, in an open-sided tuk-tuk, at a pace that leaves room for a roadside king-coconut stop, a detour to a spice garden, or an extra half hour in the cave temple if the light is good.

Every guide is trained in the history of both sites and speaks English, and most speak a third language too — ask when you book.
