Absolutely loved my tour, from pick up to the office for quick brief intro then you are on your way. Great communication, plenty of flavour for the home cooking and not to mention the beautiful lake on a catamaran with the tour guide making gorgeous flower arrangements. Totally recommend.
Very pleasant surprise! Got to ride on the back of a cow driven cart, tuk tuk, and a rowed catamaran - seeing animals and nature. It's a fun little stop along the way, and would definitely recommend.
This is a must when you visit Sigiriya. The catamaran canoe on the lake was great and there was an abundance of wildlife to see. Even see two Eagles in the trees. The Sri Lanken cookery class was a culinary delight. My wife and I helped to prepare the meal with two local women and at the end we sat and ate our lunch. Very interactive and learned traditional ways of Sri Lanken preparation and cooking.
