    A few words about the agency: very responsive and flexible from the first contact. The exchanges in French greatly facilitated the organization. Quick answers on WhatsApp, convenient hotels at great rates, alternatives offered immediately if needed, and regular messages during the stay to check in on us — a real plus. But the real added value of this trip was our driver. More than a driver, Mohamed Ruzain is at the same time a guide, an escort and a protector. Professional, attentive and passionate, he explained a lot about Sri Lanka, made sure everything was perfect at every step (especially during check-ins), booked activities and adapted the program to our pace, especially during this intense 8-day road trip. Always punctual and benevolent, he contributed greatly to making this trip unforgettable. We visited Sigiriya, Kandy, Ella, Yala, Mirissa and Bentota — each step was rewarding. Special mention for the safari in Yala: a magical moment! You can trust this agency with your eyes closed. And I wish you a driver like Mohamed to live an experience as beautiful as ours ✨

    Thank you Aalliya tours for organising this wonderful tour through Sri Lanka visiting Gale, Ella, Yala, Candy, Sygiria and Dunbala to see world heritage sites , national parks, tea plantations, temples and rice fields. We first met our driver and tour guide Adhil when he picked us up at the airport. We knew from the beginning we had a good guide and it was a great start to our holiday as he was so polite, helpful and kind and always there on time to ensure we had a great trip and the best experiences . We can’t thank him enough for his excellent service and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to all our friends and family. The whole tour exceeded our expectations and we loved it all. Thank you Adhil and thank you Aalliya tours!

    We have very much enjoyed our 9 day/8 night tour of Sri Lanka. We started the tour from Galle, and travelled through the interior and finished in Sigiriya. The timetable and sightseeing was tailored to our interests, and guides were provided for the heritage sites. The hotels selected by Aaliya Tours were good choices- comfortable, very clean and included good breakfasts. Our driver Adhil made the experience especially enjoyable. He was very friendly, attentive, and helpful in every respect. Aaliya tours stayed in communication with us throughout the entire trip checking to make sure everything was satisfactory, and it was. We would book with them again without any hesitation. We cannot think of anything they could have done better. It was an excellent experience!

    Private tour if Sri Lanka. Well received in airport. Comfortable intercity transfers in well maintained car. Driver was polite and very accomodating. The hotels were beyond our expections for the price we paid. The half board was plentiful. Lovely countryside with friendly people. However the rain limited our outdoor activities. Good value for money.

    Thanks to Zameek for the quick turnaround of itinerary in <2 days, if not we would not have been able to enjoy such a customised trip around Sri Lanka in the recent 9 days! Response over WhatsApp was prompt and speedy, and Zameek addressed all our concerns. We wanted this trip to be more nature-focused and less of temple runs, and Zameek made it happen! Definitely one tour company I would recommend to everyone when visiting Sri Lanka. Azmy was incredible. We were received at the airport promptly with a warm welcome by him, sent to the hotel at Negombo in barely 20 mins after leaving the airport. Every morning without fail, Azmy would be waiting for us ahead of the agreed time at the pickup points. From point to point, he drove safely on the road and remained attentive to the traffic situation, especially around the mountainous routes. He has been extremely helpful during the trip, especially given we needed to get our COVID ART/PCR tests done when returning back to Singapore. He made arrangements such that we have ample time to get that sorted out during the trip without impacting our itinerary. Azmy's proficiency for English is pretty much like an English native speaker so communication was not an issue throughout the trip. In fact, he could explain the history of Sigiriya in a much more concise and clear manner compared to the guide! Both Zameek and Azmy checked in with us during and after the trip, to make sure we are enjoying the trip, and most importantly safe and sound. Glad to have Aaliya Tours making my first overseas trip after 2 years such a safe and enjoyable one!

    I had Azmy as my driver, guide and friend. I was travelling solo and everything was planned out to perfection. I felt safe while driving and in all areas. Azmy had lots of information regarding the places we visited, but also answered all of my questions that i had along the way. The accommodations they made for me were all very nice and the staff helpful and inviting. I've traveled many place and Sri Lanka has been my favorite so far, and that definitely has to do with the tour Azmy have and the helfulness of Zameek at Aaliya tours from beginning to end. I will definitely be back and highly recommend Aaliya tours to anyone looking to visit Sri Lanka and not want the hassle of driving - believe me you don't :D
