A full day adventure!

The most amazing tour! I had limited time in Sri Lanka & wanted to see as much as possible and my guide Asela spared no expense in helping me. After visiting Sigiriya rock and the local village there was an optional extra for a jeep safari and I jumped at the chance! We saw many elephants and watched the sunset around the mountains and it was magical. I also got the chance to visit a local spice merchant and try various teas which was a great end to the trip! On the way back to Colombo I mentioned I needed a PCR test for my next country’s flight the next day and my guide Asela phoned a friend and I did the test on the way back. First class service and an unforgettable experience, thank you!

The pickup information was incorrect, so I ended up being ready at4.30am instead of 5.30! tried to verify info night of arrival in colombo but no one was available to give info. The driver was very courteous and good. The local guide at Sigiriya was rude & shoved the water bottle at me as he was not happy with the tip.I was previously told that the tip was entirely optional.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
