The team was also very attentive when we were organizing our trip and gave us recommendations on what to see and what to skip.
Thanks for all your help, We wish we can come back soon 🙂

Fulfilling your dreams, supporting you during the whole journey! Nice drivers, and keeping there commitments! - Great experience! Got the reference from somebody who lived for a few years in Sri Lanka! From the first contact (by WhatsApp) good and efficient support to plan the trip!... read more Fast reaction on our questions, prompt actions on booking issues (train booking), and flexible collaboration! Approaching the arrival day, we got drivers information! During the trip we were asked about our satisfaction of driver! Promise of them was to change the driver when not ok! It was not necessary at all as we were very happy about him (thanks Podi!). Unfortunate we had an mechanical issue with the car( could happen), and within half an hour, the driver arranged an alternative to get on time our train to Ella ! It is easy to say you will solve unexpected issues, but both of us, we never where in doubt to miss our train! As the driver should go with his car to the workshop, we got another driver/car in no time! Promises where kept! We continue our trip with another professional driver! Hotels were according to the level we asked for! Some over our expectations, other close to !
Great experience with drivers in Srilanka, and I will recommend them to any of my friends without doubts!

We enjoyed our trip with Podi - We did a costumized trip with Drivers in Sri Lanka for our Honeymoon and we loved it. Our driver, Podi, was very kind, gave us information about the places we... read more were at, explained the culture and answered all of our questions. He even bought me a bag of local chilli because I said I liked. It was a very pleasant trip and we recommend this company.

Sri Lanka tour September 2024 - From our first communication with Drivers in Sri Lanka we were impressed with the speed of response to all messages. They shared their knowledge and understanding to help us plan... read more our perfect itinerary. We booked our own hotels and they worked with us to ensure we were able to complete all our activities.
We had the absolute pleasure of having Nilanka as our driver and we couldn’t have been more impressed. He greeted us at the airport, his warm and welcoming nature put us at ease. He is not only an exceptional driver but also a knowledgeable guide offering us rich insights into every part of this stunning country. Throughout our journey, Nilanka’s professionalism stood out. He was always punctual, had a great understanding of the best routes to take and made sure we were comfortable and well taken care of. His driving skills are top notch, we felt safe at all times during our tour.
If you’re planning a trip to Sri Lanka, we can’t recommend Nilanka and Drivers in Sri Lanka highly enough. He made our visit unforgettable and we feel incredibly lucky to have had him as our guide.

Recommended driver and tour company - We found Mahesh to be an excellent driver and recommend his services and this company to other travellers.

Come as a guest, leave as a friend - We had a wonderful and unforgettable trip through Sri Lanka, thanks to our driver and guide Mahesh.

Very well organised private tour through Sri Lanka - For my first visit to Sri Lanka, I asked Drivers in Sri Lanka for a 12 days tour that covers as much as possible of cultural sites (e.g. markets, temples)... read more and historical places, nature (including scenic train ride) and wildlife (safaris, elefant encounters and possibly dolphin/whale watching or turtles), and to suggest a round trip suited for the weather end July, ideally including the north (Jaffa), central highlands, wildparks. Within a few hours, Drivers in Sri Lanka set up a WhatsApp group for any further communication with me, and suggested an itinerary that typically covered 3 to 4 sights or activities per day, including suited hotels for each night. After quickly double-checking with recommendations from internet and guidebook, I was happy with the itinerary as suggested and with the offered package price for car with driver and accommodation and a train ticket, while not including entrance fees or meals other than breakfast where included in hotel rates. Payment was agreed for arrival at the airport, without any need for advance payment. The day before arrival, I was informed that Thiwanka will be my driver and will pick me up at the airport. Almost every day, the team of Drivers in Sri Lanka checked with me via WhatsApp whether everything is fine, whether I am happy with the driver or the hotel, or whether there are any issues. Overall very professional and well organised! Also the suggested itinerary turned out to be thoroughly thought through, with a great mixture of interesting sights and enough activities, like hiking to the top of a hill, to compensate for longer driving hours, or staying two nights at the same place where a day was fully packed e.g. with dolphin watching and snorkeling trips. The selected sights and activities for each day together with the driving time were well balanced to fully fill the day but without time pressure. With this tour, I could see as much of Sri Lanka as I hoped, and I am very happy that I relied upon Drivers in Sri Lanka for organising the tour.
My driver Thiwanka did a great job in not solely driving me around as scheduled, but in fact caring for me the whole time, from punctual pick up in the morning until final drop off at the hotel, sometimes only after still driving me to a dinner place and back. Thiwanka made sure that the tour went smoothly as arranged by Drivers in Sri Lanka, be it in interaction with the hotels, the jeep drivers for safaris, boat drivers or local guides. He never pushed for anything but always asked what I wanted, while providing all the information for allowing me an informed decision. In addition to carefully driving me around, and Thiwanka is indeed a very safe driver, he also accompanied me for almost every sight or place, so I always felt comfortable and was never lost. While for some of the sights it was good to have a specialised local guide familiar with specific details, for which I always could rely on Thiwanka's suggestions, for many other places no extra guide was needed because Thiwanka can explain so much not only about the sights but much more generally about history, religion, culture, people and life in Sri Lanka. I also learned a lot from him about fruits, vegetables and dishes of Sri Lanka, and agriculture and many other things. Overall, if anyone is looking for a professional and knowledgeable driver speaking good English and well able to explain and guide through Sri Lanka, I definitely can recommend Thiwanka.

Excellent - trustworthy & reliable drivers - Found this company through a recommendation and very happy that we went with them. Welcomed on arrival at the airport and then with us for the full 10 days we... read more were in Sri Lanka. Available 24/7 and no request was too much. Both driver and admin team available constantly on WhatsApp. Vehicle was very nice - a comfortable, roomy van with great a/c and good suspension. A huge shout out to our driver Ravi M - an absolute gentleman. Excellent driver - experienced, safe, confident and amenable to all our requests including ad hoc diversions. Very knowledgeable and gave us some suggestions and tips that we might not have considered. In particular, navigating a steep and winding road at dusk in the Kandy hills to a resort that he had never been to before reflected well on his incredible driving ability. Would 110% recommend both the company and Ravi. You made what was a superb touring holiday even better as we did not need to worry about logistics.

We organised a 1 week trip for 4 persons (2 locals and 2 foreigners, including a toddler) in Sri Lanka through Drivers in Sri Lanka and were very satisfied.
... read more />
The process started with a WhatsApp chat group with organisers from the company to which we were added. We had extensive discussion regarding our plans, and several quotes were issued for various options. They also sent us photos of the specific vehicles under consideration, and we were able to choose one according to our preferences.
Overall, we found them to be very flexible and accommodating. There were occasional moments of confusion in the planning stage due to minor language barriers, but this was very manageable. It was very clear that they were eager to show us the sights and experiences of this beautiful country.
Once we had confirmed the itinerary, we arrived in Sri Lanka and were met by Dinesh, our driver. The van (a Toyota HiAce KDH series van) was exactly the same as in the photos, and was very clean and comfortable. I spent the trip in the 3rd row, and can confirm that the suspension was excellent and very gentle on our backs.
The needs of our toddler meant that we had to adjust our itinerary somewhat, and Dinesh was very flexible with it. We ultimately spent the bulk of our time in the Sigiriya area. Being a local of the Dambulla/Sigiriya area, he also knew a lot about the sights and options. The highlight of the trip for me was a safari tour to see elephants in the wild - Dinesh organised the whole thing, including making calls to identify which of the three wildlife reserves in the area was the most suited for elephants watching on the day and then organising a safari vehicle.
Overall, we had a great experience, and would use Drivers in Sri Lanka as an organisation and Dinesh again as the driver for any future trips.

This was our first time in Sri Lanka and we chose Drivers in Sri Lanka to be our guides based on their great reviews on Tripadvisor.
Namal and... read more his team provided lots of information up front, including details of admissions costs and likely timescales for visits to particular places that helped up build the outline for a 10 day tour plus an additional 3 days on the beach at the end to chill and recharge our batteries.
Our family group of 5 were met at Colombo airport with flower garlands by Saman, our driver, guide and expert on all things Sri Lankan. We made good friends with him and learnt about his culture, faith and family. It was sad when we had to say goodbye.
He looked after our every need always responding positively and with good humour to the many and varied requests we made as we travelled around this fantastic country. He drove our luxury mini-van with great care, confidently avoiding the many dogs, cows, scooters, cars, tuk tuk's and local buses that compete for the same piece of road.
Our experience of the hotels and breakfast provided was generally very good and if we felt something wasn't up to scratch Saman was quick to act on our behalf and put things right.
We visited some fantastic locations, too many to cover here but amongst the most memorable were the Negombo Lagoon Tour, Polonnaruwa Ancient Kingdom, the Kaudulla Elephant Safari, Sigiriya Rock, the Dambulla Cave Temple, the Kandy Cultural Show and the Leopard Safari at Yala and yes we did get to see a Leopard!
The 10 day tour is full on with a few early starts thrown in but its a great way to experience a lot of Sri Lanka in a short period of time and I thoroughly recommend Drivers in Sri Lanka as the company to help you get the most from your time there.
