Srilanka 8days private tour - Our recent trip through Sri Lanka was truly unforgettable, and a huge part of that was thanks to our amazing private driver tour. From start to finish, everything was smooth, stress-free, and deeply enriching. We covered some of the island's most iconic destinations: Sigiriya, Kandy, Ella, Yala, and Mirissa — each offering something unique and beautiful. Private Driver Experience Hiring a private driver turned out to be the best decision we made. Our driver Prasanna was not only professional, punctual, and a safe driver but also incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. He shared local insights, recommended hidden gems, and helped us avoid tourist traps. The car was clean, air-conditioned, and spacious — perfect for long scenic drives. 📍 Sigiriya Our tour began with Sigiriya, home to the iconic Lion Rock Fortress. Climbing to the top was a highlight — the views were breathtaking and the history fascinating. On the way, we stopped at Dambulla Cave Temple, which was serene and beautifully preserved. 🌺 Kandy Next was Kandy, Sri Lanka’s cultural heart. We visited the Temple of the Tooth, strolled around the peaceful lake, and enjoyed a traditional dance performance in the evening. Our driver took us to a local viewpoint at sunset that we’d never have found on our own. 🌄 Ella Ella stole our hearts with its lush greenery and laid-back charm. We hiked Little Adam’s Peak, explored Nine Arch Bridge, and enjoyed some of the best food of our trip at local cafés. The train ride from Kandy to Ella (our driver dropped us off and picked us up at the other end) was another unforgettable experience. 🐘 Yala Safari From Ella, we headed to Yala National Park. Our driver arranged a reliable safari guide for us. We were lucky enough to see elephants, crocodiles, wild boars, peacocks, and even a leopard! The early morning wake-up call was worth it. 🌊 Mirissa We wrapped up our tour in Mirissa, where we relaxed on golden beaches and took a whale-watching tour. It was the perfect way to wind down after an active itinerary. Our driver even recommended a quiet beachside restaurant for our final dinner — a perfect send-off. Overall Experience This tour gave us the best of Sri Lanka — history, nature, wildlife, and beaches — without any of the stress of planning transportation or finding reliable guides. A private driver tour isn’t just convenient; it’s immersive and tailored to your pace. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Sri Lanka — especially if you want to see a lot in a limited time without sacrificing comfort or local insight.

Great memories, with no stress. - If you’re coming to Sri Lanka and you want to see the country properly you will need to get a good driver. Lanka Safe Tours provided us that and much more with Prassana. Prasanna is a lovely guy who always got us to where we were going safely and in good time. As a second generation tour guide he has great knowledge of the places you’ll visit and surrounding areas. If you need help choosing activities or places to eat and stay he can help, but is never pushy, you just choose and follow your itinerary. You get lots of space to do your own thing, but I’m sure you’ll be happy to share your time with him too. Bottom line is I would use Lanka Safe Tours again next time. Thanks Pras :)

8 day tour of Sri Lanka - Thank you Sampath for fantastic 8 days tour of Sri Lanka. He made the trip very enjoyable and we took part in the most memorable activities, and he made sure we made the most of our time in Sri Lanka. Every activity and hotel check in was very smooth and easy with no delays or issues. Thank you again for making our Honeymoon in Sri Lanka the most fabulous experience.

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.

Amazing experience - Supun was a fantastic guide—friendly, caring, and always attentive to our needs. He made sure we were comfortable throughout the trip and was flexible with our plans. We highly recommend him for a great travel experience. One of the best tour guides I’ve ever used and it was AMAZING.
