I must commend the company that looked after us for their exceptional, top-notch service with a personal touch and advanced amenities. We were accompanied by a dedicated driver from the company, and I must admit, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The excursion to the orphanage and the Sigiriya cliff was truly remarkable. Our guide even ascended with me to the very top of the cliff, making it both a challenging and enjoyable experience.
