Round trip Sri Lanka with MySL Travel - In February 2025, I took a two-week tour of Sri Lanka with MySL Travel.
I had found the company on the Internet via google - and initially approached this planning with a certain scepticism. You organize a trip halfway around the world, you don't really know if you're dealing with a fake company that only exists virtually. After initial contacts and since I had already organized comparable trips in India twice very successfully, I was able to overcome my scepticism quickly. Email contact with MySL Travel was fast, efficient and professional. The company was also easily accessible via WhatsApp.
Then I booked a driver with a car. A small deposit has been paid. The rest paid in two installments in cash during the trip.
I completely took over the travel planning - route and hotel bookings - myself and carried it out via the usual travel portals. I basically followed the route that is also regularly chosen by commercial providers: Colombo/Negombo-Anuradhapura-Trincomalee-Polonnaruwa-Dambulla-Sigiriya-Kandy-Nuwara Eliya-Ella-Yala NP-South and West Coast-Colombo.
It was all interesting, nice and worth seeing and it is fun to play with the surf on the coasts. I skipped Sigiriya skirt. The 1,200 steps are more for young people. Yala NP was terrible because a disgusting mass handling. Others might enjoy it.
My resume:
A good trip, a well-organized country with excellent infrastructure. You should have seen Sri Lanka. In contrast to India, I would now drive there myself at any time.
But:
Sri Lanka is not comparable to the size, chaos and overwhelming cultural heritage of South India.
The tour operator MySL Travel was great. My driver Nisal was a competent, pleasant and very flexible travel companion, with whom I would go back on tour at any time.

Review MYSL Travel Agency and Sanjeewa - My wife and I recently embarked on a South West tour in Sri Lanka, and one of the highlights among many was the exceptional service rendered by our driver Sanjeewa, from MYSL Travel Agency.
From our very first interaction, Sanjeewa impressed us with his professionalism and excellent knowledge of the area.
Not only did he go out of his way to arrange the trip as per our preference, but he also recommended hidden gems that made our journey unforgettable. He pointed out cultural landmarks, explaining Sri Lanka's history as well as suggested great local restaurants thus far exceeding our expectations of this trip. He genuinely cared about making our journey an enjoyable and unforgettable one. His driving skills are impeccable ensuring our safety through winding roads as well as heavy traffic. He was punctual and well organised.
Thank you to MYSL Travel Agency and more especially Sanjeewa for been an integral part of our wonderful and unforgettable adventure to the beautiful and stunning Sri Lanka

An unforgettable experience! - We spent our honeymoon in Sri Lanka and hired the chauffeur service with Asanka Srimal.
Very professional and punctual driver, always worrying so that we could enjoy the experience to the fullest. Apart from fulfilling the itinerary we carried, it offered us the opportunity to get to know firsthand the customs and traditions as well as other places outside the tourist circuits.
We took a great memory of Asanka and we would definitely repeat with him.

Superb Experience with Guide Hashan Fernando - We had an amazing guide Hashan Fernando, he drove us for all 8 days and took us to incredible places.
His attention to detail, customer satisfaction and customer comfort was incredible.
He took personal interest in understanding our requirement and made sure we have amazing experience in all places. He enjoys his work that is his biggest strength.
We will come back to Sri Lanka and opt for Hashan only.
