About this experience
Step into an air-conditioned vehicle at your Colombo hotel and travel north-west to explore three of Sri Lanka's ancient royal capitals in a single 13-hour private day tour. Your English-speaking chauffeur guide leads you through the royal palace complex of Dambadeniya, seat of a 13th-century kingdom, then up to the dramatic rock fortress of Yapahuwa — your entrance ticket included — where steep stone stairways and carved moonstone gates reward the climb. The tour closes at Panduwasnuwara, an old city whose ruins span more than two millennia of continuous habitation.
All transport, hotel pickup and drop-off from Colombo, and a water bottle per person are covered. Food, drinks, and personal expenses are your own to arrange. Minimum age for this tour is five years, making it a practical choice for families as well as solo travellers and couples with an interest in Sri Lanka's layered history.
