Our guide Irfan drove us safely through the winding roads, giving us opportunities to go to different lookouts and see the breathtaking views. The tea farm was a great opportunity to see how the tea is produced and sample many different kinds of tea. The town of Nuwara Eliya was stunning and I highly recommend visiting. Thank you to Mr Irfan for the great day!Written September 1, 2024

Our driver, Irfan, gave us the best local experience I have ever had in my trips…he took care of us being sure we could experience the true essence of Sri Lanka! He drove really carefully and surprised us with different typical food… We definitely recommend to book your trip with this agency!Written August 25, 2024
- Go7269160 contributionsForgettable day !This is something you MUST do in your trip in Sri Lanka. If you have limited time and want to visit these three amazing sites in one day. This is the tour for you. I happened to be in Kandy during the Festival of the Teeth, the biggest Buddhist celebration in Sri Lanka and people came to Kandy from all over the country. Kandy and the sites nearby were obviously very busy but I managed to go to the amazing three sites. I thank Raaid, excellent staff of the Aaliya Tours who supported me very closely, and Sharmin, caring and hard working driver through the trip.Written August 24, 2024
- M4966BNkirstenh0 contributionsGreat day trip from Kandy!I had a great time on my day trip from Kandy to Sigiriya! My driver, Rizwan was great. He was incredibly polite, efficient and gave me options to ensure we were spending the day in a way I enjoyed. As a solo female traveller, I felt safe and assured at all times. I definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a day trip out of KandyWritten August 23, 2024
- 306alvae0 contributions10/10 day trip!We had a great tour with Shamin who took us to see Sri Muthumariamman Temple, Dambulla Cave Temple and Sigiriya. We also made stops at the spice garden which was an amazing experience, and a gem museum and shop. We ate a good lunch also got some fresh star fruit which was a great experience! We really enjoyed the day with Shamin who shared much information and was super nice and friendly. This was the highlight of our trip! Shamin made great extra stops (spice garden, gem shop) for us that suited our interests.Written August 22, 2024

- Zoeboo0 contributionsGreat experienceDay trip rom Kandy to Sigiriya and Dombulla rock temple. Had an awesome guide Irfan who was attentive and informative about the whole area. Sigiriya was spectacular, the walk up is challenging to say the least with 1200 steps up. The rock temple at Dambulla is amazing- well work the 354 stairs up to the temple. Great day in all, we are all exhausted!Written August 22, 2024
- alex c0 contributionsAmazing UNESCO site and very good driver - SharminThe driver , Sharmin took care of me so well. We stopped afternoon tea when I was a bit hungry and had fruit tasting on our way back to Kandy. I would recommend him without hesitation.Written August 21, 2024

- 8humoresques0 contributionsBest couples trip to Sigiriya/Dambulla with our guide IlhamWe had a fantastic trip to Sigiriya (Pidurangala rock) and the Dambulla cave. Our guide, Ilham, was extremely kind and knowledgeable about Sri Lanka. He was very flexible, punctual and accomodating - he took up our additional requests without qualms and gave us extra suggestions about where to visit after the main tourist spots. He also brought us to an affordable and authentic Sri Lankan restaurant and treated us to some juicy fruits at the end. My partner and I had a wonderful experience together! :)Written August 17, 2024
- Gissy90 contributionsFascinating but very long dayThe communication with the tour company was very good, although the pick up time was not finalized until the night before. A few days prior to the trip, the company wrote to ask if I wanted to add Polonnaruwa onto the itinerary at no extra charge. I agreed to this and it was a very interesting site but going there really made the day too long for me...almost 14 hours. Sigiriya was the highlight-- incredible. Our driver, Shamin, was great. He stopped to buy us tasty treats along the way and pointed out many worthwhile sights . He has adequate English and was generally very entertaining. I would certainly request Shamin if I was doing this trip again.Written August 16, 2024
- Sueamam0 contributionsGreat tour and driverThis was a great trip but we chose not to go to sigiriya because of both a wasp situation and distance. Our guide Mr Irfan was lovely. Very informative and gave us lots of information about the local religions, traditions and foods. He picked us up on time and drove carefully. He also allowed us plenty of time at our stops and took us to a local restaurant for lunch. I would highly recommend this driver and tourWritten August 16, 2024
- jeffmU6669HL0 contributionsgreat day trip to SigiriyaHi all we had a fantastic day driving to Sigiriya and Dambula the former was very much worth the long climb Sharmin our driver looked after us really well He provided lots of information took us to other attractions but didn’t push them on us. He helped sort out cheap but good food to keep us going We really did have a good time finally he found a great place for an Ayurvedic massage great for aching muscles I’d recommend him to anyone Paula Jeff and AlfieWritten August 16, 2024
