Highly Recommended!! - It was my first time in Sri Lanka with my friends, and the trip was absolutely fantastic! Our driver, Nalin, is such a kind and knowledgeable person. He was incredibly patient, took us to incredible landmarks, and always made sure we were comfortable and well looked after. His calm demeanor and genuine kindness made our journey through Sri Lanka smooth, memorable, and stress-free. We always felt safe, relaxed, and truly cared for. We're so grateful for his guidance and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone visiting Sri Lanka.

Great service! - Here's our personal experience with this amazing company :
I first contacted a few companies to arrange a private driver for our time in Sri Lanka, to take us from one hotel to the other that we had booked on our side.
Rishan, replied to my email very very fast with all the details and was immediately available also on WhatsApp. We couldn't make a better choice. A few days before the flight he contacted us with the driver and car details. Lakmal was our driver, he did an amazing job taking us around: always punctual, very reactive on WhatsApp, excellent smooth driver in all traffic conditions, clean car with AC and WiFi hot-spot. He also organised us a very nice boat ride on the Madu river and suggested us plenty of other activities possible. It was also nice to have his explanations about things we saw during our car journeys.
We can only recommend to contact them for your time in Sri Lanka, it was the first time for us and we will definitely come back one day.
All the best!
Anthony and Fabienne

A very good and reliable, affordable travel guide. - Found Sri Lanka Private Drivers on Trip Advisor. And this company delivered. Rishan organised the trip well and accommodated our itinerary well with suggestions. He got us one of his friends, Prince, who met us at the airport. Prince was our guide throughout the trip. Overall, a great experience. I highly recommend these guys for a hassle free trip in Sri Lanka.

100% recommended - From the very beginning, Lanchmal was super attentive to us, he was waiting for us on arrival at the airport and from there and always with a smile, he took care of us, recommended better alternatives for the plans we had previously planned and took pains to get us the best options.
As a driver, he is very experienced and able to do any route, some of them quite complicated.
It has been a pleasure to travel with him and share this experience with someone local. 100% recommended.

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.
