How to summarize in what words our trip with Rohana? - We could have gone live with a driver but having a French contact on site (Nadine) reassured us. The contact with Rohana took place in early January.
During the 10 days of accompaniment, Rohana was more than a driver, at times he accompanied us because it pleased him and explained a lot to us. The van was very comfortable, always impeccable and it is very careful. He knows his country well, some good addresses, stops when you want to take pictures.
We were delighted to introduce him to new ones as well. We changed a few plans to pay less than we had planned beforehand or to adjust the days to the weather.
He was very attentive with the children.
His kindness and smile did us the greatest good, the border of the language was not a problem, he has an excellent English accent, and when we wanted to ask substantive questions we used the translator. We highly recommend Rohana for your trip to Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka with Ruwan & Rohan perfect! - We can recommend Ruwan without restriction!
Ruwan was recommended to us through a friend and has already helped us great in planning our trip, to plan the ideal route for us for a 2.5 week trip and to find suitable hotels.
Due to overlapping dates at Ruwan, our travel companion was Rohan, who accompanied us on our trip.
The trip was perfect for us: Due to the private driving service we were able to visit many places in a few days, relax during the car journeys and enjoy the passing landscape. Rohan has always responded to our wishes and has enriched our trip with many insider tips.
It should be emphasized how accommodating Ruwan and Rohan were at all times. Fruits on the way and water was always provided.
Those planning a trip to Sri Lanka can turn to Ruwan without hesitation and your trip will be unforgettable!
Thanks for everything, Ruwan and Rohan! 🙂

Outstanding driver & perfect travel companion in Sri Lanka - We were very fortunate to travel Sri Lanka with Ruwan as driver and can recommend him unreservedly. He is a very safe, calm and forward-looking driver, always punctual, friendly and professional.
Ruwan has an exceptional local knowledge and always had valuable tips ready. He feels he knows the right people everywhere, shows authentic places and pays great attention that his guests do not fall into typical tourist traps.
We would particularly like to emphasize his consideration for our children. He was always attentive, patient and flexible, so we felt in good hands as a family at all times.
Ruwan paid attention to her interests, adapted excursions and breaks flexibly and patiently responded to her wishes.
His helpfulness in an unexpected situation was particularly impressive: In case of a booking error he did not leave us alone, but immediately took care to find a suitable alternative accommodation for us. This was far from a given and we are very grateful for it!
Ruwan is much more than just a driver – he is a trusted companion who has greatly enriched our journey through Sri Lanka.
Absolutely recommended for those who want to experience the country safely, relaxed and authentically!

Awesome - An absolutely awesome 4 days with Ruwan. He had to change our plans because of the cyclone the day before we arrived but we still visited many absolutely amazing alternatives. He was so attentive, helpful, kind and considerate. Every day we just relaxed in his very comfortable people carrier whilst he took us from place to place Such a lovely man and an amazing few days. The word of the holiday was “wow”. We will certainly use him again. His knowledge and love of his country was excellent . Thank you so very very much.

Sri Lanka Tour - This is our fourth time visiting Sri Lanka and we have just finished a 3 night tour with Ruwan. Due to the terrible floods being experienced by Sri Lanka, our trip itinerary could not go ahead as previously planned. However, Ruwan made alternative suggestions and arrangements, taking us to places we have never experienced or seen before. Not only did he show us the real Sri Lanka, we felt it and have made beautiful memories.
Rowan is kind, calm, gentle, extremely knowledgeable and took care of every aspect of our trip. We highly recommend Rowan to anyone wanting to tour Sri Lanka.

Unforgettable travel thanks to Ruwan! - We had the chance to travel to Sri Lanka with Ruwan as driver and guide, and it was a real blessing for our stay. Ruwan is much more than just a driver: he is a professional of great reliability, always punctual, considerate and attentive to every detail. His calm and kindness immediately put us in confidence and allowed us to fully enjoy our trip.
In love with his country, Ruwan knows how to discover it with passion. Through his explanations, anecdotes and invaluable advice, he opened the doors to Sri Lankan culture and its traditions, while guiding us to beautiful places, sometimes far from the classic tourist circuits.
Travelling with Ruwan is both safety, comfort and the richness of sincere human exchanges. Thanks to him, our stay will remain an unforgettable experience. We can only warmly recommend it to all those who wish to discover Sri Lanka in the best conditions.

13 days on top with our super driver Sameerabp. - We spent 13 days in 5 with Sameerabp, who was our driver and became a real travel partner.
Serious, honest, attentive, it drives very well and smoothly. He speaks French very well, which has allowed us to have many exchanges on Sri Lankan culture in particular.
He took us to restaurants that were quite adapted to our expectations, very varied and with good preparations.
In summary, available and of great professionalism in addition to its natural kindness.

Beautiful tour with Ruwan 🤩 - Ruwan introduced us to his country and we spent 10 days with him. He showed us beautiful places in his air-conditioned car. He drives very well. He introduced us to beautiful addresses that are not included in the usual guides.
We highly recommend it because we were able to count on it throughout the trip. He is extremely caring, serious, honest, friendly and generous. We celebrated my birthday there with him and he was adorable, he even gave me a gift 🎁 🌺💝
We already miss it!!!
See you soon Ruwan ☀️🤩
