Awesome trip to Srilanka - We had a great tour experience to Srilanka. The tourist team and the driver Asri were extremely helpful and very friendly. We didn't feel as outsider. Driver Asri was so caring and ensured we felt very comfortable throughout our trip which was 8 lovely days. He recommended excellent destinations, guided us accordingly so we had seamless travel trip. Looking forward to come back to Srilanka.

Excellent Trip - Many thanks to Rishan, who organized our tour, and to Promod, who was with us throughout the 9 days. Everything was very well thought out. Promod was extremely kind and always attentive to our needs. I would definitely recommend them.

Great experience. Highly recommend! - We had a great experience in Sri Lanka with Sri Lanka Private Drivers. Starting with planning a booking our trip, Rishan was very responsive, informative and flexible with our requirements. We spent 2 weeks there as a family (two adults and a 7 year old). We had Shanaka as a guide, and he was great. We thought we will be hiring a driver, after we arrived we realized we have hired a guide. Then, as the vacation was unfolding we realized we had a travel companion and, when we departed, we left behind a friend. I recommend Sri Lanka Private Drivers and Shanaka in particular for their great services.

We loved Sri Lanka🐘 - Kamik was in charge of this project.
I was worried about it in Sri Lanka, where there are many traffic accidents, but I was relieved to be driving safely. Cars are worried about sitting on their bums for long periods of time and reserve vans so children can sleep while on the move. I finished the long journey without fatigue.
Also, since I was with a child, he was very kind to me, bringing me some water and taking care of the toilet breaks on the way. The kids were very familiar with him, calling him "Dad" 😋

Safe, friendly and reliable driver - We had Ahamed as our driver for a week in Sri Lanka, traveling from Ahangama to Ella, Kandy, and Sigiriya. The roads can be quite challenging and the traffic hectic, but we always felt completely safe with Ahamed behind the wheel. He is an excellent driver, very friendly, and a genuinely lovely person. I would highly recommend him to anyone traveling in Sri Lanka.

Six days and he became part of our trip - We had Thaaz as our driver. We felt very safe and comfortable with him at the wheel. Very attentive to make sure we have everything we want and need. Even showed his skills at opening a coconut for drink at roadside stall.

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!
