Vikky worked as a true gem for complete travel duration took us to all the main points of interest we wanted to visit during our stay, He is very trustworthy and professional in his work. He look after to our travel requirement and make sure we complete them as well.
Another plus for his side is the punctuality, he was always their waiting for us in the morning at designated time to make sure we do not miss our day plan in a rush but with ease and enjoyment.
He took us to the Tea Factory, and the experience was truly amazing visiting the tea factory and tea gardens really was one of the agenda in our tour and this was possible with Vikky’s guidance.
Would like to share sincere thanks to Vikky for making our trip a wonderful visit to Sri Lanka. From my experience I can surely recommend to connect with RoundTrip Sri lanka for your next visit.
Thank you once again Vikky Sir for all the assistance provided during our stay in Sri Lanka, as promised I shall be sharing some of the pictures we took of the places we have visited.

The Guide cum driver Premarathna was very warm and friendly. Well maintained car (Read More). We didnt have to hurry through anywhere and remained relaxed throughout.
Since we had insisted upon vegetarian food, the hotels did manage their best to provide us something palatable to us throughout.
The morning breakfast tea at Bentota was the best ever we had in Sri Lanka
The Accommodation at Kandy was a huge letdown. A 20 year old building which was (Read More) under renovation and the room had lizards moving around ! The courteouness of the staff was the saving grace there.
The Bentota resort though good had a lizard too in the room when we entered. fortunately the housekeeping staff removed it.

We are glad we chose Aziz Travels. This being our 1st international trip with ki (Read More)ds we had our doubts and fear. But Shali made sure he clarified all our doubts even before we left from India. In fact we paid our money to Aziz Travels only after landing in Sri Lanka.
We were greeted warmly by his manager Mohamed at the airport followed by his driver Prem anna. He was the best. 5 days with his driving made us feel safe..being in a new country and high altitude roads with on n off rains..his car was jus gliding thru..and we felt safe. He made sure we covered all places in the itemary..in fact showed some places out of itenary too.
Overall very happy with Aziz travels. Shali, I think you should start penetrating into other countries too.
