An amazing experience with Lakmal as driver! - This is really a top five service! The booking process was great via WhatsApp defining the best itinerary and the driver: we selected LAKMAL and it was definitively a great choice! He was extremely professional, always on time and available if we wanted to see something different from the itinerary "on the way" to next destination. He recommended us lovely restaurants, not overpriced and tasty! He became a friend of us, explaining also local habits and the daily life in Sri Lanka. He arranged a lovely Safari and understood that we wanted to separate from the crowd, so it took minor trails where there were no jeeps! I would definitively recommend him as driver and a companion of your time in Sri Lanka!

Professional driver service - We had a 11 days drive trip with Asri. Rishan was responsive and helpful before and during the trip. The price was very reasonable. This is essentially a driver pick up and drop off service so do not expect a lot of commentary or the driver to accompany you at the attractions. Nonetheless, Asri accommodated our requests when we changed some places in the itinerary, due in part to the original itinerary not being very detailed and also the sequence of some places were shifted to the next day as they were enroute to the next destination. On our part, we planned the route to ensure that all places we wanted to go were covered and did not entirely leave the planning to Asri, so that a consensus was reached the night before. Asri is a very good and patient driver. We felt safe throughout the trip.

Very reliable driver. Thanks, Prince! - Prince was very reliable — always where he said he’d be and always on time, whether it was 4am or 10pm! He happily took us wherever we wanted to go and even stopped for us to be able to feed the stray dogs along the way :)

Excellent service with private driver - We can highly recommend this company. Good contact with Rishan the owner from the start and a reasonable price for an 8 day trip with Sami our driver. Sami was great - he was very knowledgeable about the places and people we visited and had many ideas where to go and what to do and adapted his own ideas to suit our group of 6 people. Sami became our friend over the days and was always available when we needed him. We all got the cold over the 8 days and unfortunately spread it to Sami but he even took this with a good nature and smile. The highlight of our trip was the day we went to the lake and had lunch with locals which was delicious. This was followed by a fantastic elephant safari where we saw so many elephants- we will never forget that day ! Sami has been a big part of our trip to Sri Lanka and I would definitely book with Sami again.

Fantastic trip around Sri Lanka - Great company to deal with and our driver Sami was amazing. We travelled around Sri Lanka with him for over a week, and can't think of anything that could have been done better. Sami was very knowledgeable of Sri Lanka and extremely professional and I would definitely recommend requesting him for your trip !
You won't regret it

Outstanding service, the very best of Sri Lanka - This is a really excellent and professional service. We were very lucky to have our driver, Kasun who was so reliable, humorous, friendly and truly brilliant at his job. From the minute we got to the airport we were looked after with such great care and professionalism. He knew Sri Lanka so well and was an excellent driver, knowing exactly the right places to take us and was there for us, always on time. He is a true gem and represents his company with flair and brilliance. I recommend this company very highly. Outstanding!

Thank you Ahmed! - I had an incredible experience exploring Sri Lanka with my driver Ahmed. His extensive knowledge of the country's hidden gems and cultural sites made the journey truly special. Ahmed's careful driving and punctuality allowed us to cover a lot of ground comfortably, from the central hills to the stunning beaches of the south.
What stood out was Ahmed's thoughtful suggestions for authentic local restaurants and his ability to adjust our itinerary based on my interests. His friendly demeanor and professional attitude made me feel safe and well-cared for throughout the tour. Thanks to his expertise, I was able to experience Sri Lanka's rich heritage and natural beauty in ways I never could have managed on my own.

Amazing week with our driver Lakmal - Our driver was Lakmal. He was absolutely amazing - friendly, chatty, all smiles, gave us tips with some of the local tourist-ey spots, was always available, and took care of our belongings when we were away.
He went above and beyond.
