Hiran and his team were fast in their response times to any queries or requests we had, and dealt with our last minute changes like champs! It was a long day from Colombo to Sigiriya but the arrangements (private car, driver - Kumara, breakfast venue, lunch venue and the tour itself) was fantastic. We regretted that Kumara was stopped from guiding us up the rock once we got there but he was a wealth of knowledge and it was great to be able to connect. He took good care of us, as did Hiran with the arrangements. We would definately use BE again and we recommend them.
