  Sri Lanka Family Adventure Made Unforgettable by Dilshan - Sri Lanka was an amazing discovery. We spent 9 full days exploring the island with our kids and friends, and we loved every corner. But this would have never been... read more possible without Dilshan showing us around, providing valuable information and recommendations. He always chose the best possible experiences for us, and especially for the kids, knowing exactly what would suit us. We were able to meet local people, try new foods, and visit each place at the best time. Thanks so much for this incredible experience, Dilshan!

  Reliable and professional service  - It was excellent experience with very professional service. We saw everything we wanted to because we had great service and advice from our guide

  A great time with Sachi  - We had the pleasure of being accompanied on our 9 day trip in Sri Lanka by our guide and driver, Sachi. He navigated the intense traffic situations with skill and... read more brought us across the country safely. I particularly appreciated it when he pointed out things to us (eg identifying different trees along the roadside) while on the drive, and also showed us other fascinating attractions that we didn’t plan for / wouldn’t have known as we aren’t locals. As 3 girls traveling around, we always felt safe and taken care of by Sachi, and I’d engage his services again when I’m back!

  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.

  Amazing 5 Day Tour in Sri Lanka. - We did the 5 day tour with our guide Udaya! From start to finish, Udaya, our guide, was attentive and knowledgeable. We followed the tour outline but our guide was... read more also happy to make suggestions and take us to places that we had read about too. Udaya recommended some lovely places to eat and we were able to try some authentic Sri Lankan food with him. The stops along the tour were well spaced out and although we were only able to stay in Sri Lanka for 5 days, we managed to see a lot of Sri Lanka and learn about its rich culture and history. We will come back to Sri Lanka soon and we will certainly book with Drivers in Sri Lanka again. Thank you Udaya for an amazing trip! ⭐️

Special... read more shout out to our guide Pradeep Ravindra who was amazing. He was very informative and made sure we got the most from our trip. He also helped us with our 3 kids and he was super patient.

  Very good experience with Anil. Super driver, great company. Very friendly, helpful and plenty of good tips on the country . Lots of stories and culture details.

  We recently enjoyed a 9-day tour in Sri Lanka with "Drivers in Sri Lanka." Our driver, Mahesh, impressed us with his knowledge, kindness, and sense of humor, making the journey... read more unforgettable. Mahesh took excellent care of us, he drove very well and we felt safe in the hectic traffic! We valued the flexibility of the itinerary, and enjoyed being able to change some of the accomodations to accomodate our needs. Additionally, the accommodation that Drivers of Sri Lanka chose were fantastic, adding to the overall enjoyment of our delightful and hassle-free travel experience. Highly recommended!

  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.

  Lovely, friendly and professional people - super easy to book through WhatsApp. Our driver Dinesh was the best! So friendly and kind - he even bought us Veg Rolls to... read more try along they way as he took us Sigiriya and Kandy. We will definitely use again!

Our driver Sisi was very nice, polite and helpful, drive... read more safe in the crazy Sri Lanka traffic, and took good care of us during our 5 days journey. Than he dropped us off on the beach where we decided to enjoy some beach time by ourselves. Last day of our holiday he picked us up again and took us to the airport so we could say goodbye to him and Sri Lanka. He became our friend and we hope to see him again 🙂
The communication was perfect, also the car was good, comfortable and clean

Overall highly recommended

  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.

  First time to visit Sri Lanka and so lucky to have a professional tour guide and team to guide us.

Highly recommend for those who like to travel free... read more and easy

Marketing team- fast response to send quotation, ready to help with any queries
