If you want to experience everything Sri Lanka has to offer, book now. - It was a truly enjoyable tour. The guide introduced me to many wonderful hidden gems, and I had a wonderful and friendly tour. I was able to experience all of Sri Lanka's history and heritage sites. Thank you for creating unforgettable memories! My guide, Ilfan, was the best. I would recommend him to everyone.

Best experience! - We had a great day conquering Sigiriya and enjoyed Dambulla. Our driver, Ilham’s local knowledge is incredible, he is very friendly and his English was fantastic! We don’t think we would have such an enjoyable day without him. Thanks again team Aaliya Tours for true best day out!

Best possible day trip to Sigiriya and Dambulla - I had a wonderful day with Erfan today. He arrived early and made sure that all of my hopes were met, taking the time to share extra experiences aside from the itinerary. I would strongly recommend this guide and destinations!

Brilliant Tour - Raain did a great job at squeezing us in last minute after we booked the incorrect date. We learnt a lot about Sri Lankan culture because of this tour and gained lots of incredible memories. Ilham was a fantastic driver, showing us different parts of Sri Lanka such as traditional fruit stalls and local food. To improve, we would have preferred to not go to the spice garden as it ate into time in our day.
