About this tour

Sri Lanka is so rich in historical and cultural attractions that it seems impossible to squeeze in everything on a condensed itinerary. But with the help of an English-speaking guide, you’ll be able to head to the city’s various sites and landmarks. Kick off the tour with a convenient and comfortable hotel pick up service. Then, you’ll meet your guide who will take you around the area. Learn about the ancient rock fortress located in the northern Matale District. Sigiriya refers to a site of historical and archaeological significance that is dominated by a massive column of rock nearly 200 meters high. Today, it is listed as one of the UNESCO Heritage Sites and is hailed as one of the best preserved examples of ancient urban planning. After that, you’ll head to Dambulla Cultural Village to learn about the vibrant history of Sri Lanka. You’ll also enjoy a delicious and filling lunch before visiting other destinations like the cave temple in Dambulla and Pidurangala Rock. Wrap up the experience with a wonderful sunset view before heading back to Anuradhapura.
