Great trip. This was the only one I saw that offered both the sites (Dambulla,Sigiriya) and elephants (safari).
It is a packed day with many hours in the car but we were able to hustle and do all 3. No leisure time but well worth it to be able to do it all. The hike to the top of the sigiriya mountain is a bit more than 30 mins if you push it (think climbing (think climbing an 80 story stairwell). We were luck to see a heard of 20 or so elephants reasonably quickly. Both were fantastic. If you are concerned about time the Dambulla cave was the one I would drop to spend more time at sigiriya.
I was a solo traveller. I was paired up with one other traveller ( English speaker.)
Tour operator was very good. Good communication on whatsapp and accommodating to last minute booking.
Note that the prices for the entries do pile up. Much more than the tour. But worth it to me
