Your trip your way - Are you planning a trip to Sri Lanka and looking for a reliable driver/guide to explore? Look no further..Chama is your man!. My husband and I have just returned from a 13 day tour around SL with him and had an amazing experience which we will never forget.After doing a lot of research and reading reviews I came across Travel with Chama/Ceylon Chama tours and travels and immediately felt a connection.Contacted him and over a few months communicated and received quick responses. Even though I planned my itinerary and did my hotel bookings, he was flexible and sensitive to work with our needs and preferences. He is an excellent driver and we always felt safe. In addition his knowledge of places we visited and stories he shared made the long drives interesting. During visits to attractions he always stayed around which was reassuring. He arrived on time everyday with his infectious smile, went over plans for the dayand offered suggestions .We found Chama to be kind, humble and on many occasions witnessed his helpfulness towards random fellow Sri Lankans we encountered along the way. His passion for his job is amazing and reflects in the patriotism he conveys about his country and people. SL is beautiful and we hope to return to create even more memories. We strongly recommend booking with Chama..you will NOT be disappointed. Chama, we wish you all the best as you grow your business, your dedication and hard work will make your dreams a reality.

Fantastic holiday with Chama in Sri Lanka - We were so fortunate to have Chama as our guide for 15 unforgettable days in Sri Lanka. From the moment we arrived, he looked after us with genuine care, professionalism and warmth. Nothing was ever too much trouble — he truly went the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable, safe and experiencing the very best of this beautiful country. Chama’s knowledge of Sri Lanka’s history, culture and local life added so much depth to our journey. Whether we were watching the traditional stilt fishermen along the coast, visiting stunning temples, or exploring breathtaking landscapes, he always made each experience special and meaningful. He was patient, kind and always one step ahead, ensuring everything ran smoothly. A very special mention also goes to our driver, Janaka, who made us feel completely relaxed and safe on the roads. His calm and careful driving meant we could sit back, enjoy the scenery and fully trust that we were in good hands at all times. Together, Chama and Janaka made the perfect team. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and driver, and we highly recommend Chama to anyone travelling to Sri Lanka. He will make your trip truly unforgettable.

RECOMMENDATION - Travel Sri Lanka With Chama - Sixteen days. Six of us. One beautiful country. And a journey we will never forget. 🇱🇰 When the six of us landed in Colombo, we were pretty tired after the long trip from Australia — excited, but definitely feeling the travel. Walking out of the airport, we were just hoping everything would run smoothly. Chama was there waiting for us with a smile and a small welcome gift, which was such a thoughtful touch after a long journey. From that first meeting, we immediately felt at ease and confident about the trip ahead. If you are planning a trip, I cannot recommend Travel Sri Lanka with Charma enough. Nothing was ever too much trouble. Not once. He didn’t just guide us — he cared for us. He adjusted plans when needed, surprised us with places that weren’t even on our itinerary, shared stories, history and laughter, and made us feel like we were travelling with a friend rather than a guide. Some of our favourite moments were the unexpected ones he added along the way. And behind the wheel was Yanaka — calm, steady and incredibly safe (which you truly appreciate on Sri Lanka’s lively village roads!). No matter the distance — from Kandy to Ella, Ella to Udawalawe, through the rainforest to Tangalle — we always felt relaxed and completely looked after. Over 16 days we experienced more than we ever imagined possible. We climbed Lion’s Rock at sunrise in Sigiriya as the mist lifted around us. We explored the Golden Temple and stood inside the Temple of the Sacred Tooth in Kandy. We watched dancers spin in brilliant costumes during a cultural show. We crossed a reservoir by catamaran, rode an ox cart through a village, and shared a home-cooked traditional lunch with locals. We wandered tea plantations and enjoyed some tea, stood beside Ramboda Waterfall, and watched a train curve across the Nine Arch Bridge in Ella. We hiked Little Adam’s Peak and braved the Flying Ravana zip line. We went on safari in Udawalawe and saw elephants, crocs, monkeys, deer, jackals, water buffalo, lots of birdlife and turtles roaming freely, then visited the Elephant Transit Home at feeding time — pure joy. We explored Sinharaja Rainforest by day, spotting wildlife and cooling off under a waterfall, and by night discovered creatures we never would have seen on our own. We relaxed on the beaches of Tangalle, celebrated Valentine’s Day with a beach BBQ under the stars, and went whale watching where we were lucky enough to see a fin whale and pods of spinner dolphins spinning through the ocean. Along the way, I even had a Sri Lankan sapphire made into a ring — a sparkling reminder of a country that now holds a very special place in our hearts. Sri Lanka is colour, culture, kindness and contrast. It is ancient temples and wild jungles, misty mountains and endless beaches. But most of all, it is its people. Chama, thank you for sharing your country with us in the way that only you can. You turned a holiday into an experience we will talk about for years. If you’re thinking about Sri Lanka — do it. And do it with Travel Sri Lanka with Chama. You won’t regret it. This trip truly had everything and it was an unforgettable adventure from beginning to end ❤️🇱🇰

Not only the most amazing trip, but also a new family member - Through Ceylon Chama Tours and Travel we met not only our driver and guide, but also an amazing friend and new family member Ishan. He brought us safely around Sri Lanka for three weeks. Be humble and responsive and at the same time open, honest and great to spend time with. When we had problems, he was at the forefront and made sure everything was resolved. The trip would definitely not have been the same without him. We thank you with all our heart for the experiences and the meeting with a person we came to love. Chama followed up during the whole trip that we had a good time and the mutual trust is huge with him. And fortunately we also met him in several places of the trip. Also a fantastic man. Thank you for everything you gave. We give all our recommendations and must definitely return to both the country and these two people again. Thanks.

Truly Amazing memories forever - We had the most amazing time with both Chama and Johan(Jona) truly amazing people who went above and beyond. Both were wonderful with our boys. We couldn’t have asked for better. 100% recommend. Thank you with all ours hearts

Chama Tours and Travel - We had the absolute pleasure of touring Sri Lanka with our wonderful guide Chama and our amazing driver Vikum. From start to finish, they made our trip unforgettable. Despite the challenging weather and flooding during our visit, they always kept me and my three family members safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. Chama was knowledgeable, warm, and constantly smiling—his passion for Sri Lanka truly made every stop special. Vikum’s driving was exceptional; we always felt secure on the roads, even in difficult conditions. Their positivity and professionalism made all the difference. We can’t recommend Chama and Vickum highly enough. If you’re planning a trip to Sri Lanka, you’ll be lucky to have them.

Stress free adventure around Sri Lanka! - Fantastic experience with Chama as our driver around Sri Lanka for 9 days! He designed our itinerary for us (well in advance) whilst taking on board the places we wanted to see and the activities we wanted to do. He also provided us with recommendations for accommodation and places to eat in each area. Chama was on time everyday without fail. His punctuality, communication and personality made our trip very enjoyable and stress free. As to young women travelling we also felt very safe with him as our driver. Highly recommend!

Unforgettable experience with an amazing driver - Chama helped us arrange a 2 week itinerary for the 4 of us (2 couples - one from Australia and the other from New Zealand). Our driver was Ishan and he was so experienced, friendly and knowledgeable. He was not only our driver but also our tour guide. He quickly become our friend. Nothing was too much trouble and we were so comfortable with Ishan we invited him to join us for dinners at various times. We ran our choices for accommodation past him to ensure we made good decisions. Our holiday in Sri Lanka would not have been as good as it was without our driver, Ishan. Thank you so so much.

Wonderful trip with Chama ! 💗 - Wow this trip was so amazing, it felt like a journey of my life. Specially because of Chama, his special talent and energy and care made this trip very unique. He was taking care of our whole group from the very beginning, he welcomed us on the airport with necklaces.. still have this beautiful gift, Chama was all the time asking if we are comfortable really sensitive guy of how we want to spent our time what we need and how to organize everything he took care totally about every aspect of our trip changing plans if it’s needed.. his knowledge about Sri Lanka is absolutely incredible, he showed us beauty of this island through his special personality.. definitely I will recommend this guy to everyone his vibe and sensitivity is something special 📿🔮🫂🧿

Chama is the best a true gentleman - Chama collected us from the airport with the biggest smile and a gift, what a lovely welcome to Sri Lanka. Throughout our trip Chama kept an eye on everything, while we were enjoying the moment he was ensuring everything was flowing. He gave us great advise and helped with avoiding queues and expenses that weren't required, he has a wealth of knowledge regarding the island it's history and the nature, booked us in to great places to eat with very high hygiene standards. Gave us space to enjoy and joined us when it was the right time to do so, his intuition is spot on. From the first email to being dropped back at the airport he kept an eye on everything ensuring our trip was faultless. He has a network of people, friends and associates so no need to be concerned about being stranded with a one man band tour operator. We visited, Sigiriya, Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, train journey to Ella, Yala national park, Miriassa and Negambo. All of these locations are worth visiting, we did enjoy the south of the island more as it was drier and we're beach bums. We can't thank Chama enough for making our trip so special and would recommend him to everybody. Thankyou Chama (The Charmer)
