Ananda Driver would highly recommend - Ananda made the first half of our trip incredibly smooth and stress-free. He was ready and waiting for us at the airport, and then drove us from Colombo to Sigiriya and on to Kandy, where we caught our train to Ella.
Not only did he take us to every place we wanted to see, he also made the entire process so easy, from finding entrances and exits to helping us figure out where and how to get our tickets. His guidance saved us so much time and made the experience much more enjoyable.
We’re really grateful for his help and would highly recommend Ananda to anyone looking for a reliable, friendly, and knowledgeable driver in Sri Lanka!

Great experience seeing the country! - We had a wonderful experience with our private driver in Sri Lanka! They picked us up from the airport and ensured our journey was smooth and enjoyable. The highlight was the safari, where we were lucky enough to spot a leopard—an unforgettable moment!
Throughout our trip, he shuttled us around various parts of Sri Lanka with professionalism, warmth, and great local insights. The only mishap was we originally requested for a SUV large enough to handle the luggage we were traveling with and they arrived in a small sedan. It wasn’t the fault of the driver but can easily be overlooked once we got our journey underway.
We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and driver—highly recommended for anyone visiting Sri Lanka!

Sri Lanka tour - It was very easy to make enquiries with Sri Lanka Private Taxi. They promptly reply to emails. Ifthikar was our private taxi driver on our 5 days tour from airport to Galle, Udawalawe, Ella & Arugam bay. He is very polite, professional and safe driver. He kept the car clean, has good knowledge of Sri Lanka. I can highly recommend him and was grateful for the safe travels we had with him.

Highly Recommend - I booked with SLPD for our two week trip around Sri Lanka in January 24. I first made contact about a month out and Fazool helped me to determine the best option for our trip. He was very communicative and provided fast and clear responses. In the end we chose to take the same driver for the whole trip, which turned out to be the ideal option. We were met at the airport by Ifthika, our driver for the next two weeks. The car was a mid-size Toyota which looked pretty new and was very clean and comfortable. Ifthika was great, he was very responsive throughout and always turned up on time as agreed (over WhatsApp), often with a freshly washed car! He made many great suggestions along the route (several of which we took up), but was not pushy if we did not fancy something. Most importantly his driving skills are exceptional. For those of you that have driven (or been driven) around Sri Lanka it is not for the faint hearted, so having an experienced driver at the wheel helped us feel safe. Thanks to Fazool and particularly Ifthika, for helping to make our trip around Sri Lanka so special. Would highly recommend.

Honest and Professional drivers - I travelled to Sr Lanka with my husband and daughter in last week of December 2021. We had Prasad as our driver who made our Sri Lanka trip memorable for so many reasons. He went extra mile to ensure our satisfaction and was very professional. We learnt so much about Sri Lanka by travelling with him. In Prasad, we got a friend from Sri Lanka. Thank you! Highly recommended.

Memorable trip to Sri Lanka, Thank you SLPD and Prasad! - We contacted Sri Lanka Private Drivers (SLPD) for our trip to Sri Lanka and I found them reliable, honest and committed to tourist well-being. The connect was simple and smooth as we chatted on whatsapp. Upon arrival to Colombo, we were assigned Prasad who made our Sri Lanka trip memorable for so many reasons. Despite all possible research on itinerary prior to journey, a local perspective is so crucial and Prasad did just that. He went extra mile to ensure our satisfaction and was very professional. In Prasad, we got a friend from Sri Lanka. Thank you! Highly recommended.

Very gentle and confident driver! - We were very happy to be picked up at the airport by Shiyan! He was safe, gentle and nice. We fell asleep quickly and we felt safe.
It was also very easy to book a trip with him.
Really recommended!

Fantastic! - We hired Dila to take myself, husband and 14month son around Sri Lanka. We landed early but he was waiting for us at the airport. Always punctual, polite, friendly. He has such fantastic knowledgable of the country, making suggestions to suit all 3 of us. (But happy to let us sleep as well) He was great with our son. Can’t recommend him enough.
We have already booked him to take us back to the airport (with some stop offs on the way)
Really great guy.

Wonderful 6-day tour for a group of seven - Where do I click to give these guys six stars? Shiyan at the office and Chinthaka at the steering wheel were both very helpful, professional and kind. We have booked a 9-seater Toyota with private driver for six days on a route of our own choice for our group of seven adults. The service was excellent: Chinthaka was always on time and we had the most amazing time going on our adventures but knowing that he'll be there to pick us up at the end. He went above and beyond to make sure we get the best experience of Sri Lanka. All I can say is: thank you guys and until the next time!
