Our tour guide his name is Dan, what I can say about him at the end of my trip to Srilanka that I consider him a family member.
Thanks Aerizo tours for memorable trip to Srilanka.
December 20, 2019A great tour starts with a good planning and contact. The management of aerizo tours ensured a professional communication so all our needs would be answered and everything would be... read more clear. We booked a 15 days tour with my girlfriend and her family. Upon arriving at the airport, Chanaka showed up on time, with a big smile, clean and neat. We would immediately feel very comfortable as he is an awesome driver (safe, no risky moves, punctual and focussed, ). He speaks better English than most sri lankan people and he soon appeared to be more than a driver. He likes giving u recommendations, joining u for a hike or another activity, and showing u the real life and experience of Sri Lanka while respecting your own choices and needs. He is thus driver and guide.. He loves his job and that benefits every aspect of the tour. Highly recommand this organization, as well as the driver Chanaka. What a gentle soul. Sri Lanka is a must do !
(ps- i do not have a picture with Chanaka on this phone but please check all the other awesome reviews about him to find out more about him) More

For example, there were certain attractions or restaurants we wanted to go to and other things we wanted to skip. Our guide was Chanaka who was always eternally cheerful, very knowledgeable, great driver, and provided a wonderful experience for our first trip to Sri Lanka. I remember our flight got in very late (past midnight) and he was there, happy, and so helpful with a long multi-hour drive to our first destination/hotel on the itinerary. We would definitely go back again with Aerizo and would request Chanaka. More
