Fantastic, reliable and easy way to travel Sri Lanka - We had an amazing experience with Sri Lanka Private Drivers from the start. They were responsive to all correspondence and assigned our knowledgeable and considerate driver Neil - who made our experience extra special with all the little personal touches he put in along the way. Neil took us to all the places we wanted to go and also took us to some amazing places we didn't know about that ended up being the highlight of our trip. He was extremely courteous, kind and punctual and often had little surprises waiting for us like fresh king coconut juice or bananas. Nothing was too difficult for him and we felt that we were in very good hands. Thank you very much Neil and Sri Lanka Private Drivers - we loved every minute of our adventure in you beautiful country and would highly recommend your services of anyone thinking of travelling to Sri Lanka.

Excellent communication and reliable service - We had a very positive experience with the agency that organized our driver in Sri Lanka. Communication was easy, clear, and very responsive from the first contact, which immediately gave us a sense of confidence and calm throughout the planning. Everything was handled smoothly and professionally, allowing us to travel without any stress or concerns. The agency assigned us Nasreen as our driver, and he fully met our expectations in terms of reliability, safety, and experience. Overall, the organization and support provided made our journey comfortable, well-managed, and truly enjoyable.

Professional and reliable drivers - Professional service with high quality drivers. Our driver Thilina was very good and helpful throughout the trip. Unfortunately, there was a glitch and we had to change drivers, but Rishan and his agency were impeccable in handling the situation! We had replacement drivers, all excellent! Absolutely recommend!!

A trip of a lifetime made better by Rishan and his team. - I would like to thank Rishan for helping us organise an amazing 3-day tour around Sri Lanka. Rishan was highly professional and attentive from the very first WhatsApp message I sent to him. His communication was exceptional.
We were a group of four adults, five adult children, and two elderly adults, one of whom often needed a wheelchair. The whole group was well cared for, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed this once-in-a-lifetime family adventure. The vehicle for this trip was a clean, comfortable 20-seater, exceptionally driven by Priyantha.
Within 3 days, starting at a hotel near the Airport, we visited the elephant sanctuary in Pinnawala, the cave temples of Dambulla, climbed Sigiriya, zip-lined, sampled tea and visited a spice garden in Ella, returning to our hotel in Colombo. We are control-freaks, so we booked our own accommodation, which was supplemented by the local knowledge of our dedicated expert guide, Sami.
After our trip, Rishan helped us organise a driver for a day trip to Galle.
A close friend of ours recommended Rishan, and I will be recommending his services to everyone heading to Sri Lanka.

Honeymoon in Sri Lanka! - We recently finished a tour of Sri Lanka with Ahmed. He was a very polite and pleasant person to spend time with as we traveled. We especially appreciated his help when we ran into a stressful situation with our train tickets. Even though there was a mix-up by the tour operator, Ahmed went above and beyond to make sure we didn't miss the train, staying with us until everything was sorted out. We were very grateful for his assistance and his professional demeanor throughout our journey!
