  Safe ride - The driver arrived on time at the hotel and drove us safely on the fastest way to the next hotel. Highly recommended and competent driver

  Fantastic trip around Sri Lanka - Had a fantastic 10 day trip around Sri Lanka!! Temples, hiking, safaris, river boat trips, whale watching, this trip had it all.

We got to see a Leopard, elephants,... read more monkeys, crocodiles and numerous varieties of birds. Seeing a blue whale was a particular highlight. We never had a dull day!

We were very lucky to get an excellent driver called Podi. He is longer just our driver but now a real friend. He made our adventure even better. In addition, the boss of the company was fantastic. He arranged for additional days accommodation at the end of the trip This was at a lower price than we would have paid through booking.com, as a result of his connections with the hotels.

Book through this company. You’ll be very happy you did. We will be back!!

  The best experience - An unforgettable experience. Hotels, luxury car, breakfast was 10/10 and our driver Saman was great!

The restaurants provided are amazing and the hotels are also very clean and... read more nice. Our driver made the experience amazing and he was so friendly and welcoming. I have to recommend this tour as it was one of the best experiences of my life.

  We knew the places we want to visit on Sri Lanka, even had our own itinerary but a little idea of how to implement it. That's how we contacted Drivers... read more on Sri Lanka and they were very eager to help us and adapt the trip to our preferences. We were discovering the country with an extremely professional driver and amazing personality Mohesh! He literally made our trip :)) We are extremely grateful for his outstanding driving skills and eagerness to make our trip awesome! He would always help, give advice and just "be there". We couldn't wish for a better companion:) thank you a lot!

The Manager is... read more super helpful and was answering all our questions before we arrived and as we came he was also constantly checking on us during the Tour. I believe that the Service and responsibility level is 5star from 5
As we arrived we were met without any delayes and stress, we were always in contact with agency & driver which is very important. The car is clean and modern, also + for nice music choice.
Our driver Mahesh is super kind and patient person, he was always assisting us through the Tour with any questions. As 2 girls traveling we felt very safe and enjoyed comfortable traveling with a Touch to local cultural and got a better understanding of Sri Lanka history & culture by traveling with this agency. A great Credit to Mahesh for saving us from bad choices of tourists and answering all the questions we had. Mahesh definitely did more than expexted and I would recommend him & agency to all my friends traveling to Sri Lanka in future!

Nilanka my driver was very careful and very helpful, always smiling. You ask and he is there to make it happen. From the first day at the airport till the last day everything worked like a charm, professional and quality service.
Nilanka introduced me to the best restaurants in every city and was with me on every step.
He made me feel being home.
They even organised a birthday cake free of charge for Connie which fell her birthday during the 14 days tour and that was a lovely surprise for her.
I recommend Drivers in Sri Lanka for your next holiday and you will never regret. I recommend nilanka as a driver .
Big thanks to Drivers in Sri lanka and my driver Nilanka for making Sri Lanka a home.

  Don’t hesitate, this is the company you need! - Hospitality, kindness quality and most of all professionalism are just a few words to describe our experience. Saman our driver got us safe and sound around and whatever we needed,... read more water, medication anything at all, he was there for us always with a smile and a great guide on top of it.
The van is one of the most luxurious vehicles i ever was driven in and you feel like you are in business class. You get a detailed program and pricing upfront. No surprises and they will even change money at the best rate. You feel safe and secure at all times. Thank you from all of us for an amazing experience!

  Excellent tour with Drivers in Sri Lanka. If you are thinking of going to Sri Lanka, I would recommend this as the best way of getting around the country and... read more seeing the best sites. We suggested the places we wanted to visit, and Drivers put together an itinerary which met all our requirements and more. Our driver Anil was fantastic and helped us with local tips throughout our stay. He was also super flexible, and we were able to change stops on the itinerary or have more down-time where needed. Having everything planned out for us, really took the stress out of the trip and gave us more time to have fun and enjoy it.
I would recommend checking out the suggested accommodation before you arrive and if you want to make any changes, suggest these to the company and they will be able to get you the best prices.

  Nilanka .. 10 star driver in Sri Lanka - Great memories were made on this adventure in Sri Lanka.
Not only from the amazing places that we visited but because of the kindness of our driver Nilanka. He became... read more one of the family as he drove us around and shared his beautiful country with us.
We booked all our own hotels and experiences and Nilanka navigated us through each area showing us all the amazing sites along the way.
I would highly recommend this amazing company and NILANKA! He made it extra special! Definitely a trip that we will not soon forget.

  We hired a car & driver for 12 days during the Christmas / New Year period. We had a very good experience with the company and our driver, Renuka.
... read more /> The company initially thought we wanted to book a full tour, but flexibly adapted to our request to hire car & driver only. They quoted a lower, reasonable price and gave us a discount for the longer duration. They also suggested to pre-book highly sought after items such as the train tickets in Ella.

Our driver was professional and spoke good English. He never tried to coerce us to engage in activities for extra commission, such as shopping or dining at certain outlets. When asked, he gave us his input on certain places (mostly restaurants), tour companies etc. and never had an attitude when we did not go with his recommendations. For other groups, he also doubled as a guide. While we only hired him as driver, he gave us brief instructions on each dropoff, making our life easier. He also gave suggestions on changing the previously agreed itinerary on-the-fly to fit time constraints and weather conditions.

We wanted to visit Bomburu Ella waterfall at first, but he said the road conditions are really bad. While we already gave up on visiting it, he kept asking around and found a longer way on a good quality road. This turned out to be the most spectacular waterfall we have seen during the trip.

The contract included a steep, early morning drive to Horton Plains on mountainous roads in bad conditions. Not all companies commit to this drive, so check before you book.

The car was as previously discussed at the time of booking, a Honda Fit Shuttle with AC. It comfortably fits two large suitcases, a smaller cabin suitcase and two backpacks, as well as the driver's backpack and water bottles. The driver kept the vehicle clean every day.

The package included a free SIM card as well. We were given two, which was quite useful at times. While free water was provided, we tried to reduce our consumption to reduce the plastic footprint.

Throughout the period, the company was only a message away should we need any help. Payment was upfront in USD cash, which was weird for us at first, but we trusted the company's reputation and this was not a problem.

There was a day in Yala where we didn't need the transport services and a couple of days where we only used it for half a day. It was still worth it for me to hire one car & driver for the entire period. While we could have hired separate transport, this way we had peace of mind that transportation is ready where needed, we don't need to risk a bad quality car or a reckless driver. We could also leave some of our belongings in the car, knowing that we'll take the same car a few days later.

  Mahesh best driver ever! - Mahesh was our driver for the trip and he was fantastic! We really have nothing to say, everything was perfect! We saw incredible places and we enjoyed our time here... read more in Sri Lanka! The company organises everything for you, you just have to relax and live your journey! I really recommend “drivers in Sri Lanka” and i hope for you you’ll have Mahesh as your driver!

He was just perfect : very friendly, entousiastic, smiling all the time, gave some good explanations and very... read more available. Our kids also adored him so that was also very nice ! Our stay was so pleasant...thank you Samar !

  We would like to share our pleasant experience that we had with Drivers in Sri Lanka. Right from the time I searched them up on the internet until I actually... read more booked up with them before I left US, everything was seamless they were prompt in responding to our questions etc.
Our flight was arriving at 4:30 am in the early hours of morning and we needed their services from the time of our Arrival , during the 8 days that we traveled through towns like Dambulla, Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, Weligama , Kosgoda and now back to Colombo. We could not have possibly booked this kind of a trip on Arrival that required some much detailed planning and that too after you are on a 18 hour’s flight with layover.
Drivers in Sri Lanka we’re very helpful In guiding us planning our trip and the entire duration of the trip.
Their Driver, Sachi Is a remarkable person, friendly, knowledgeable about the Area with very good mannerism. He has been extremely helpful in making us feel at home and actually showed us some attractions that were not on our travel plan.
He actually walked with us to most attractions including Climbing up and down to some sun set points, waterfalls, Temples, boat rides etc. etc. In fact he helped my wife and daughter in climbing up and down the uneven stones pathway and the stairs without which we would have ended up dropping some of the challenging attractions.
Today, we are in Colombo, he assisted us in taking us to the crowded streets of Colombo to help us out with our local shopping. We just have no words for describing Sachi’s service with a smile culture.
I will not once hesitate in recommending Drivers in Sri Lanka to my friends and family wanting to use similar services. Truly a 5 Star Experience!!!

  Great car/driver service - Communication was easy and they were very responsive. We booked two long distance taxi rides from Yala to Galle and from Galle to Colombo airport. They were flexible when we... read more asked to change date/time of one trip. Drivers were courteous, friendly, always arrived early and were ready to go at the agreed pickup time.

  We had a wonderful time in Sri Lanka thanks to Drivers in sri lanka . We had a friendly and helpful mail correspondence with Namal before our trip to... read more help plan everything. Once we arrived company did everything to make our stay memorable. If we wanted to change the itinerary that was no problem. They adapted tot suit our wishes. We booked mostly medium range hotels through them which were clean and good value for money. The views there were often spectacular. The last couple of days we stayed at a higher range hotel they had arranged and that was also very special. I would recommend Drivers in sri lanka to anyone wanting to visit Sri Lanka. A special word of thanks to podi our driver. Nothing was too much for him to make our vacation special and comfortable. When it started raining while visiting the botanical gardens he suddenly appeared to give us an umbrella! He had excellent suggestions for places to eat. Thank you for the great time we had in your beautiful country. Value of money.

When we are planing our trip to Sri Lanka, we found Drivers in Sri Lanka through online google search. Once we send an email, they replied promptly. In less than half an hour they created a WhatsApp group, planned for us a full itinerary of all the things we wanted to see and booked train tickets to enjoy the amazing sceneries of the country.

It was the best service i have ever tried, so i really recommend to have your trip organised by this company and especially recommend Nilanka as a driver, then your vacation will be perfect!

  After a long time living outside Sri Lanka, I visited my motherland again. When we are planning a trip while in Sri Lanka we come across this amazing company.

The car was also clean, comfortable and our driver Podi is absolutely brilliant. He is very experienced and knowledgeable about Sri Lanka tourism. He took us to local restaurants , knew all the best local foods to taste.

We are highly recommended Drivers in Sri Lanka!!!

  What a fabulous trip!
We specifically asked to see animals, so the Drivers in Sri Lanka made a itinerary specifically for us. We did two safaris and the elephant... read more orphanage. The highlights were feeding an elephant at the orphanage and the Kaudulla National park safari .
Our driver Nilanka , was fantastic and looked after us really well. Every request we had, from a beach towel purchase , finding a post office or a fuse for our plug, he managed to solve our problem.
He took us to local restaurants , knew all the best fruit stalls and stopped along the way when he spotted something interesting, such as elephants in the river.
We have enjoyed every minute of the trip.

  Renting a car with a driver saves you time and energy which you would otherwise spend in the busy and tricky roads of Sri Lanka! We had an amazing time... read more with Drivers in Sri Lanka, they tried their best to assist us with our schedule and had a very smooth cooperation. Saman was our driver and he was the best driver we could ask. He drove for 9 days with us in various areas of Sri Lanka and he was explaining to us the areas, the history and the traditions of Sri Lanka. He was very careful driver which is very important especially considering the crazy way they drive in Sri Lanka!! He was funny and cool and had a really great time with him. We loved all his recommendations! We certainly recommend Drivers in Sri Lanka and Saman 🙂

  It was some good days in S.L. our guide arrived in the Colombo airport. We we t to ICandy to see the most historic world heritage piace of “Lord Buddha... read more Tooth Ralic Temple”, it was wonderful! I think everyone must see this place.

Our trip to Sri Lanka... read more was a once in a lifetime trip and without Drivers in Sri Lanka it wouldn’t have been possible, so we will forever be grateful for our experience. The company even went out of their way to arrange a 25th wedding anniversary cake for my parents special day. Saman’s knowledge of Sri Lanka was exceptional and he answered any questions we had regarding the area we were visiting. For anyone looking to book a trip to the amazing country of Sri Lanka we would highly recommend using Drivers in Sri Lanka to make your trip one to remember.

Thank you for everything.

  We LOVED our experience with Drivers in Sri Lanka. Our driver Ajith and our contact with the company, Tarith, both exceeded every expectation. From before we left home to the... read more end of the trip we felt taken care of, supported, and listened to. We had only a short trip (which is why we want to come back) and we fit so much in because their in knowledge is outstanding and flexibility very accommodating.

Before talking more about our honeymoon trip from California, let us say this about this beautiful country - we were embraced in every way from EVERY person we encountered. They truly appreciated our visit. If you are wondering whether to come because of the news... go deeper. You will find that the people of Sri Lanka are peaceful and grateful and you will feel safe and secure your entire trip!

We wanted a variety of lodging experiences and did some on our own and some on their guidance. Being able to bring our desires to the mix worked very well for us. That said if we relied only on them we know it would have been great too!

Every place Ajith recommended for meals were outstanding. Every stop we made seemingly more beautiful than the last. He also took care for us to get to know the culture in the communities we visited - this was important to us.

From a safari in Yala, to the tea farms in the mountains, to temples, to waterfalls and walking tracks to catch our train from Ella, we saw so much in so few days. Without Drivers in Sri Lanka we would never have had such a diverse 'teaser' trip to this amazing, safe, welcoming, culture rich, adventure filled, country.

We will be calling Drivers in Sri Lanka again when we put another trip together with family and friends.

Sri Lanka is forever in our hearts.

  Second time we visited Sri Lanka with Drivers in Sri Lanka and Podi as our driver. 15 days with a 2 year old . Wilpattu, Trincomalee, Kalkudah, Passikudah, habarana ,... read more Colombo!

  We contacted Drivers in Sri Lanka after the U.K Government advised against all but essential travel to the country. We already had our flights booked and a route planned of... read more where we wanted to visit. We didn’t want to cancel our trip but thought perhaps we should look into having a driver instead of using public transport due to the fuel shortage.
We are so happy we did this, everything was discussed via WhatsApp they were always very quick and efficient replying to messages and any questions we had. We had already planned our route and pre booked our hotels, but they suggested places of interest and added some of these into our trip. During our trip our driver Saman discussed some of our hotels with us and recommended some hotels that had a better location and customer service so we ended up changing a few of our hotels along the way, he got us some great prices too so I would recommend leaving the hotel choices up to the tour company rather than booking yourself like we previously had.
We have been travelling Sri Lanka with Saman for 17days now and have had some of the best experiences with him, he is very knowledgable and kind, always wanting the best for his guests! He has stopped off a number of times getting us different fruits and foods and always recommends the best places to eat. We have another 11days travelling Sri Lanka with Saman and will most certainly book another trip with him in the future. The owner of drivers in Sri Lanka has messaged us regularly throughout our trip ensuring we are having a good time.

We have added sole pictures but we have so many more!!

Visit Sri Lanka!! It is an incredible place, breath taking and beautiful, kind people, amazing scenery, delicious food the list goes on!!
