Amazing sights and history - Had a great day trip with Irfan who went out of his way to make sure I had a comfortable ride and shared his thoughts and knowledge of the area. The independent guide I purchased at Sigiriya did a good job too.

Sigiriya Day Tour - A great day trip from Kandy. My guide Irfan was excellent from start to finish, with lots of knowledge of the areas. Also flexible towards any requests throughout the day. The day was well structured with plenty of time at each site and lunch at a good local restaurant. Would definitely recommend the trip.

Perfect Day Trip Experience - Irfan our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. He was always checking in on us throughout the day making sure we gained the most out of this experience. Plenty of time to see Sigiriya and Dambulla Cave at our own pace. Would highly recommend to anyone looking at a day trip from Kandy!

10/10 enjoyable day - Ilham was an enthuastic guide and it was an absolute blast to be taken on a day trip from Kandy to Sigiria Rock. He offered so many things to do along the way, including a Hindu Temple, herbal garden, tour through a village and offered a wonderful spot to eat A home-made sri lankan meal. It was really a fabulous tour and I would absolutley recommend him as a guide! Not to mentioned he dropped off my sunglasses after I accidentally left them behind. 10/10 enjoyable day.

Tour with AALIYA - We purchased Kandy city tour and Dambulla Sigiriya tour, conducted by Mr Irfan. It was a great experience as Mr Irfan is very professional and helpful, he was eager to show us different places on the way and provided the information about the sites we visited. Overall it was a great experience. After that, we had another tour of Nuwara Eliya and Horton planes national park with Mr Rizwan, he was very nice and treated us like his own family. We enjoyed every bit of our journey with him. And last but not the least, Mr Raaid was in touch with us throughout our journey providing the details and information required during the whole trip. It was very smooth, highly recommended service!

A beautiful trip to Sigiriya and Dambulla - Irfan was a great guide. Not only did we visit two beautiful sites—Dambulla and Sigiriya—but we also enjoyed tasting different varieties of local fruit and had a delicious lunch of fruit curries. He was prompt and courteous.

Unforgettable Experience - Had an amazing trip with Irfan as my guide. He was a kind and patient host who was very knowledgeable and shared so many stories through the trip. Temple is great and the climb up to the top of lions rock is not too difficult, the views were spectacular despite the rain. Incredible!
