An amazing 8 day tour in beautiful Sri Lanka. Do not hesitate to book this tour with this company 🙂 - We have had an absolutely brilliant time with our guide Kavishan. He is such a nice, friendly and helpful guy. He told us so much information about all the places we visited. He is a great driver, always looked smart and on time. We have visited some lovely places and found all of Sri Lanka beautiful. The scenery is amazing, so lush and green. He was a pleasure to be around and would highly recommend a tour with him as your guide 🙂

Sri Lanka with Prasanna - My wife and I traveled with Prasanna. He was always on time, was proactive in communicating the schedule for the next day and keeping us on schedule, and was a safe driver. I appreciated his recommendations for lunch restaurants and his efforts to facilitate any activities we wanted to do (e.g., a cultural site guide, buying entrance tickets, safaris, train tickets, hiking, massages, etc.) and hotel check in. We were very active on this vacation and I appreciated that Prasanna took the initiative to hike with us while providing relevant information and taking pictures of us. I would recommend traveling with Prasanna.

Book your trip with Shiran! - My friend and I have just finished our incredible trip around Sri Lanka and all of our experiences and memories are down to our amazing guide Shiran. We had initially just booked a driver to take us from one location to another, but after meeting Shiran we recognised his expertise and professionalism and decided to extend our trip to have him with us for the whole time - it was the best decision! Shiran is a fun, knowledgable, thoughtful and incredibly kind guide. He organised and planned so many brilliant days and activities that we wouldn’t have done without him. We felt incredibly well looked after and, most importantly as two women travelling, we felt very safe throughout our whole trip and cannot recommend him enough. Thank you, Shiran, for the holiday of a lifetime :)

Shiran is amazing. - I am writing this in the airport, very sad to be going home and leaving Sri Lanka. The country is breathtakingly beautiful and we were so glad we had a driver to help us get the most of our experience. Shiran is simply incredible. We feel so lucky to have spent the time with him - he explained so much about each place, he was so organised, and every time went above and beyond. He responded to every request and enhanced our experience through so many suggestions of things to do, try and see. The smallest of details was catered for- he is extremely kind, thoughtful and professional. I can't recommend him enough and will be advising all my friends to request for him as a guide specifically because I couldn't fault any of the service he provided at all. It was impeccable. Thank you so much for an amazing trip and all the memories, Shrian!

Fantastic tour of a beautiful country - What a fantastic trip! Despite losing a couple of nights at the start due to Heathrow being closed, we still managed to see the history at Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa, go on three different safaris, enjoy the cooler temperatures and tea plantations in the hills around Kandy and Nuwara Eliya, the life of Ella and spend some time on the south coast, where we even enjoyed lunch at the home of the lovely, hospitable family of our driver Janu. We really enjoyed Janu's company and he couldn't do enough for us, which only added to the experience and enjoyment

An unforgettable Sri Lanka sojourn with Kavi from Lanka Safe Tour as our guide - We had a fantastic tour with Kavi as our guide/driver. Although the itinerary was packed, everything was managed with perfection by Kavi. He suggested the best restaurants, provided insightful information about the sites we visited, and answered all our queries always with a smile. This tour has been an unforgettable one and we are extremely happy to have Kavi as our guide for the tour. Even when we had a last-minute change in our accommodation in Bentota, he handled the situation with calm and patience and worked with the back office staff to get us booked in the preferred hotel on the next day. I would highly recommend Lanka Safe Tour and especially our guide Kavi to anyone planning a private or group tour of Sri Lanka.

Janu the best tour guide - saw everything that I wanted to, had no problems and I even saw some additional things - What an amazing trip - I covered the entire program and even had time to do some additional activities. The agency and the tour guide were very flexible and able to make changes on the go. Janu was perfect and very hard working - always on time and always ready to help, I was traveling solo but never felt alone as he was keeping me great company, his car and driving were very comfortable and we were always able to make it on time for the activities despite of me oversleeping some times. I would never be able to do so many things in so little time without his help.

Amazing trip to Sri Lanka - I had an amazing experience touring Sri Lanka with Baritha as my driver and guide! He was incredibly knowledgeable about the country’s history, culture, and landmarks, always ready to answer any questions I had. His driving was safe and reliable, making my journey smooth and enjoyable. Whether it was recommending great local spots or sharing interesting insights, he truly enhanced my trip. I highly recommend Baritha to anyone looking for a friendly, professional, and well-informed guide in Sri Lanka
