We had a very good comprehensive 10 day tour with our excellent driver Mahesh. He was a careful safe driver, very professional, polite, perfect english and accommodating of all our... read more requests. The sites we visited were varied and always interesting. We did not realise the challenges of a couple of the climbs so I needed Mahesh's assistance which he readily provided but the sights from the top were worth the effort. Our accomodation was always clean and simple but mostly a few kilometers out of town which was peaceful but necessitated Mahesh driving us back into the towns to enjoy an evening meal.

Highly recommended well organised tour company.

  Booked an 8 day tour with Drivers in Sri Lanka after finding them on Trip Advisor and seeing all of the good reviews. We travel a lot and usually arrange... read more our own itineraries but after seeing that the 'done thing' in Sri Lanka is to have a driver we went with this option.

I emailed a couple of companies and found the response from Senaka to be the quickest and most informative reply. The price was also very competitive so we decided to book with them.

Throughout the entire process Senaka and Tarith were in contact with me via WhatsApp and email, they purchased our train tickets for us and were always available when we had any questions.

We arrived in Sri Lanka on the last plane in from Europe due to COVID-19 and was stuck at immigration for 3hrs, our driver waited that entire time for us, all the while Tarith was also in contact with me checking we were okay.

Our driver Amila was friendly and always on time. He made extra effort to show us things along the way (the national parks were closed so he drove slowly on the lookout for wild elephants and we got to see two!). He never left us until we had checked into our hotels and always made sure we were safe and not stranded! As the week progressed things got crazier in Sri Lanka due to the pandemic and hotels started cancelling on us, towns were closed down, police stopping tourists to ask where they were going etc. Senaka, Tarith and Amila assured us that they would take care of us and not to worry. They found us alternative accommodation (which was fab!) for the nights our original hotels cancelled on us and this was during a time that hotels had been told not to accept tourists!
Unfortunately we had to go home after 5 days of our 2 week holiday due to new foreign office guidelines and even then Drivers in Sri Lanka adjusted our bill so we didn't pay as much which we never expected considering all of the help and assistance they gave us.
This company really is one in a million and they genuinely care about their customers well being and giving them the best experience. I cannot recommend them enough and I wouldn't even bother looking elsewhere! We are hoping to return to finish off what we missed next year and Drivers in Sri Lanka will be our first point of contact.
*Note* we booked our own accommodation as we always do things ourselves but we would have no issue handing that over to Drivers in Sri Lanka as the accommodation they found for us was first class!
Thank you so much Senaka, Tarith and Amila!

  We approached Drivers in Sri Lanka as a result of their Trip Advisor Reviews and some travel books also recommend them. The tour was fantastic. Our Driver Nilanka, was... read more great, really helpful and knowledgeable about the island, wildlife and various species of trees and plants. The team was really easy to communicate with via Whats App and email. We booked some of the accommodation via Drivers in Sri Lanka and other accommodation directly or booking.com. They also organised two jeep safaris for us which were great and we saw one of the leopards in Yala, as well as lots of other wildlife. Thank you Drivers in Sri Lanka we will be coming back next year to tour the North and East of the Island
