Great Sigiria experience!

Rasheed was a lovely host - he picked us up directly from our accommodation with a clean and comfortable car, and was very personable. Rasheed was incredibly knowledgeable about the sites we visited, and very proud that he could enrich our experience with these incredibly rich stories of Sri Lankan history.
