Shiran does everything to make you feel good - Meet Shiran on the beach. He has a big heart, good service, punctual and is knowledgeable. Safari - a fantastic day trip where we saw loads of animals. The jeep driver was incredibly skilled. The journey to and from the safari was comfortable. Snorkel and see sea turtles - it had been windy so the sea was sandy and we didn't see anything. Unsuccessful excursion but not Shiran's fault but the weather. Got a free river trip as compensation. River trip - the river trip lasted for 2 hours and it was windy and nice. Only saw a giant crocodile and some geckos. Too bad we didn't see more animals. Restaurant service - Shiran booked and drove us (for free) to several great restaurants. Superb service. Transfer to Colombo - Shiran arranged for us to go in one of his comfortable cars to Colombo. Punctual and convenient. Can recommend Shiran ❤️

Exceptional service - This is my second time booking with Shiran tours and boy he did not disappoint. What an absolutely amazing time we had, he took care of everything. Booking was easy and communication was great and fast. We arrived on a cruise in Colombo, Shiran was there waiting for us, he took us around all best places in a luxury air conditioned vehicle, he is very knowledgeable about local cultures and is more than happy to arrange bespoke tours to suit your wants and needs. Our next stop on the ship was Hambantota, this time we had arranged a safari at Udawalawe national park and once again Shiran sorted everything and pulled out all the stops, we had the most magical day and have got some amazing memories. I wouldn't hesitate to book tours with Shiran again, he is professional, very friendly and will make your time in Sri Lanka extra special.

Bentota River Boat Safari - Excellent guide and arrangement by our Tour Guide for my family of 12 members. The kids really enjoyed and the service ensured our transfers and trip itself was convenient, safe and very well organised. Highly recommend Jonathan

Fantastic Experience! - So we planned a safari with Shiran, and I should say it was a remarkable vacation for me. It was insane, packed with those lovely, gorgeous elephants, and I don't believe I'll ever be able to go on a trip like this again. I'd want to thank Shiran for this journey and great adventure, as well as his perfect trustworthiness.

Elephant Safari and Airport Transfer - Booked the Udawalawe safari tour with Shiran and had excellent service - spacious van to take us to and from the national park with a very informative driver. The safari itself was incredible and we saw many elephants and other animals in their natural habitat. We were so happy with the service given that we booked an airport transfer with him as well for our return journey and again received a punctual and professional service from the driver. Would highly recommend booking through Shiran!
