Best car service in Sri Lanka! - Darshana's car service was recommended by other tourist who had visited Sri Lanka and we were so glad for the recommendation. Upon contacting Darshana he replied so fast and made booking his services incredibly easy. We used his services ( private vehicle and driver) to travel from Colombo to Yala and return and would highly recommend this for anyone thinking of doing the same. He also has many tours that provide tourists with a great introduction to Colombo and Sri Lanka. We will definitely be using Darshana's services on our next trip. Ten star service!

fantastic family vacation in Sri Lanka - We had an absolutely fabulous one-week family trip in Sri Lanka thanks to Darshana Tours and our amazing contact, Darshana. From the very beginning, communication was easy, quick, and professional. He customized the perfect fast-paced itinerary for us so we could make the most of our limited time in Sri Lanka. The private van provided was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and fully air-conditioned, which made all the transfers very enjoyable. Our driver-guide, Dushan, was outstanding — friendly, knowledgeable, punctual, and always attentive to our family’s needs. After comparing several companies, Darshana Tours also offered the best pricing, and every hotel selected exceeded our expectations. Our itinerary was packed with unforgettable experiences: • Dambulla Cave Temple and Golden Temple • A private elephant safari at Kaudulla/Hurulu Eco Park • Exploring the ancient city of Polonnaruwa • An authentic Sri Lankan lunch at a local farmer’s house • Ayurveda treatment in Habarana • Sunrise climb of Sigiriya Rock Fortress • Kandy cultural dance show with a surprise birthday celebration for my husband — complete with cake and Happy Birthday sung on stage! • Temple of the Tooth ceremony • Ambuluwawa Tower and breathtaking hill country views • Tea factory tour and tea tasting • Horton Plains National Park • Scenic train ride from Nanu Oya to Ella • Nine Arch Bridge and Little Adam’s Peak • Yala National Park safari • Mirissa Beach and Coconut Tree Hill • Exploring the beautiful Galle Dutch Fort The hotels were all excellent, including Aliya Resort & Spa, The Golden Crown Kandy, Golden Ridge Nuwara Eliya, Cinnamon Wild Yala, and Le Grand Galle. Everything throughout the trip was perfectly organized and stress-free. Sri Lanka is an incredible country, and Darshana Tours made our experience truly unforgettable. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a customized private tour with exceptional service.

Amazing Tour of Sri Lanka - We had an incredible experience travelling through Sri Lanka with Darshana Tours. From start to finish, everything was organised so smoothly, allowing us to relax and truly enjoy this beautiful country. Sri Lanka itself completely exceeded our expectations — stunning scenery, amazing wildlife, beautiful beaches, lush countryside, fascinating culture, and some of the friendliest people we’ve ever met. Every part of the journey offered something different and memorable. A huge part of what made the trip so special was our guide and driver, Dushanth. He was professional, knowledgeable, kind, and always made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the tour. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and his local knowledge and recommendations really helped us experience the very best of Sri Lanka. He was always punctual, friendly, and genuinely cared that we were enjoying ourselves. We came away with amazing memories and would highly recommend Darshana Tours to anyone considering visiting Sri Lanka. Thank you again to Dushanth and the whole team for such a wonderful experience

An unforgettable Sri Lanka tour with exceptional service and a fantastic guide - From the moment my husband and I enquired about a 9 day tour in Sri Lanka, Darshana was very responsive and tailored the trip to us perfectly. Every request we made, Darshana adjusted and often exceeded our expectations. Everything was extremely well organised so we saw and experienced so many wonderful things. We had a fantastic tour guide Supun who we had the best time with. Supun was very knowledgeable and would happily answer all of our questions throughout our trip. Supun's warm and relaxed nature made us feel welcome from the very beginning and nothing was ever a problem. We shared many laughs together and his company added so much to our experience. We highly recommend Darshana Tours to anyone planning a visit to Sri Lanka.

Best tour ever ! - We were able to create a customized trip tailored to our wishes. Reality exceeded our expectations: we saw everything, and we had a top-notch guide. Udare enhanced our itinerary with fantastic highlights, but always let us decide. At no point did we feel pressured – for us, it was absolutely professional and incredibly relaxed. Udare had a comfortable car, was a safe driver, and had everything under control at all times. We especially want to mention that we were able to continue our journey safely despite severe weather. We would travel with Dashana Tours again in a heartbeat – the value for money, the professional service, and the wonderful moments made this trip unforgettable. Many thanks for everything, Dashana and Udare !

The Best of Sri Lanka - My friend and I had the best vacation with the help of our guide and driver Supun. From the booking of the tour up to the end of our multi day trip, we were taken cared of. Supun was very knowledgeable and passionate about nature and Sri Lanka. He was very accommodating to our needs. He gave great recommendations for activities to do and most importantly, he was engaged in our conversations. We felt we were with a friend, which was important considering that it was a multi day trip.

5* experience from start to finish! - We’ve spent 7 days on a private Darshana tour and couldn’t be happier! Everything worked out like clockwork from transfers, hotel bookings, visits, guided explorations and meals. Our driver Supun was very knowledgeable, a fantastic driver and a lot of fun. Darshana also called immigration for us to sort out our evisas to modify the arrival date. We absolutely loved the experience and warmly recommend Darshana Tours to anyone visiting Sri Lanka. 🇱🇰

Your great companion in Sri Lanka – A Superb 9-Day Family Journey - Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We recently completed a 9-day family trip (4 people, including senior citizen parents) covering Sigiriya, Kandy, Ella, Yala, and Mirissa. After reading reviews online, we chose Darshana Tours, and it was the best decision we made for our Sri Lankan holiday. From the start, Darshana’s communication was incredibly fast and professional. Even though we only booked a car service, he went above and beyond to help us with our overall planning. The rates were very competitive, and the vehicle provided—a brand-new, spotless Toyota Hiace—was extremely comfortable for the four of us and all our luggage. Our driver, Shalinda, was much more than a driver; he became a true friend to our family. He took immense care of our parents and his attention to detail was exceptional. His deep understanding of local routes, culture, and history meant we never felt the need for an additional guide. Shalinda ensured our itinerary was maximized, even during the more hectic first few days. He often accompanied us at various sites to act as a guide and, most importantly, looked out for us to ensure we were never overcharged or scammed. We felt completely safe and well-cared for throughout. We eventually realized it was very comfortable to book all our safaris, hot air balloon and other experiences through Darshana Tours since they ensured customisation and flexibility as per our timelines. Whether you are traveling solo, as a couple, or with a family, I would definitely recommend Darshana Tours. They truly made our trip seamless and unforgettable!

First class service! - I think I’ve reviewed Darshana Tours but just in case it didn’t go through I would just like to say that from start to finish Darshana and his team provided a 5 star service! The communication, organisation, time keeping and friendliness of everyone concerned was first class. We had the most AMAZING time in Sri Lanka and CANNOT WAIT to return. When we do I will 100% be contacting Dara to arrange things for us! Thank you for the most amazing worry free and enjoyable stay in your beautiful country, we loved every minute!
