Sri Lanka Private Driver Avis 31

We just returned from a trip through Sri Lanka with Sujeewa as our guide and driver, and we genuinely cannot recommend him highly enough.

From day one, Sujeewa's patience, warmth, and pride in his country shone through everything he did. He went far beyond what we expected — arranging private experiences, sharing fascinating stories about every place we visited, and putting genuine effort into every detail. You could tell he truly cares about giving his guests something special.

The little things made a huge difference: his van was always spotless, some days even had fresh fruit waiting for us — red bananas, king coconuts, pink apples, and more — and he was always ready with a smile and a plan. Every single detail showed how much thought and care he puts into the experience.

We came to Sri Lanka to see a beautiful country, and we left with full hearts, full journals, and a deep love for Sri Lankan people — all thanks to Sujeewa. He didn't just show us the sights; he made us feel genuinely looked after.

We won't forget this trip, or him. If you're visiting Sri Lanka, do yourself a favour and book Sujeewa. You won't regret it.

Razik’s knowledge and flexibility made our holiday very memorable. We would highly recommend him to other travellers coming to Sri Lanka!

Mohamed Razik is a great driver and speaks very good english. We enjoyed the rides with him. He was very helpful during the trip. Thank you

The best company to book a driver with! We had such an good experience with SLPD and our driver Nalin! We felt really safe and comfortable with him and also the van was very comfortable and safe.
Due to war issues we couldn’t get a flight and had to stay a week longer.., no problem for the company, they let the driver and van to stay with us as long we needed him. Nalin was very involved with us, every day he had new attractions to go to with us! Never a dull moment with Nalin. He was very caring and took care of us. We were really said to say goodbye.
Next time we will book a tour with SLPD again, and especially with Nalin Perera!

Our dear driver, Sujeewa, was honestly the best decision we made for our trip to Sri Lanka. From the moment we arrived, we could just relax and enjoy the journey without worrying about logistics, routes, or planning.
Sujeewa is an excellent driver, always calm, safe and professional, which made the long drives very comfortable. But what really made the difference was how much he shared with us along the way. He knows the best places to visit, great activities to do, and he explained so much about the history, culture and daily life of Sri Lanka. It made the whole experience far more meaningful.

He also took care of us throughout the trip almost like a father would — always making sure we were comfortable, had what we needed, and that everything was going smoothly.
Thanks to him, our trip felt easy, authentic and truly unforgettable.

We would recommend travelling with Sujeewa to anyone visiting Sri Lanka.
ISTUTI Sujeewa!

Great preparation for our trip, communication with the company was swift and accommodating. Trip planned well, hiccups on route sorted promptly. A couple of the hotels were below requested quality but changed afterwards.

Sujeewa , our Driver was a real bonus to our trip, with knowledge, tips , and fantastic patience as we added " extra stops/ requests" etc along our journey of five different stop overs.
He always was punctual, helpful and polite, and was so eager for us to have a great trip.

The whole experience from start to finish was excellent and I would highly recommend this company! When starting to plan my trip to Sri Lanka with my parents, I reached out to a number of “private driver” companies and Sri Lanka Private Driver stood out on reviews as being the best rated. The booking was easy- they were easily contactable and responded efficiently.

We received a WhatsApp the day before arriving with our drivers name and we had Sujeewa as our driver for the duration of our stay. He met us with a kind and friendly smile at the airport, and it was the perfect start to a perfect trip. Sujeewa made us all feel super comfortable, he was an excellent driver making us feel safe and he was very knowledgeable about everything related to Sri Lanka! We had some long journeys and Sujeewa was always accommodating to our needs. By the end of the trip, (around 2 and half weeks) we really felt like Sujeewa had become part of the family, and if we return, we would not hesitate to travel with him again. Thank you so much for making our trip so amazing as a family.

We have just completed a thoroughly enjoyable 14 days touring Sri Lanka with Sri Lanka Private Driver. Our driver, Osman, was polite, caring, punctual, knowledgeable and someone whose advice was invaluable to make the most of the places we visited. We had planned our route in advance but Osman was able to add the extra detail from his local knowledge to ensure we got the most out of our holiday. We would have no hesitation in recommending Osman’s services to anyone looking to tour this beautiful island.

We have just spent 9 days with Razik our fabulous driver. During that time he was professional, friendly and very knowledgeable. He navigated some very steep difficult roads and got us to our destinations safely. We would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to visit Sri Lanka. He spoke excellent English and answered all our questions regarding the Sri Lankan culture and way of life. He recommended many places to visit. He made our holiday very enjoyable.

We had the most wonderful 12-day trip to Sri Lanka. We stayed in Habarana, Kandy, Ella, Yala, and Weligama, which was a perfect setup to explore this beautiful country. The first six days were spent in the central highlands (including a safari), followed by six relaxing days along the coast.

One hotel that truly stood out during our trip was Naomi Beach Resort in Weligama—an adults-only beachfront boutique hotel with an amazing view, excellent food, a wonderful ambiance, and outstanding service.

This trip would not have been possible without the tremendous help from Rashmi at the head office. From the very beginning, she was incredibly supportive in planning our itinerary, and throughout the trip she assisted us with suggestions and bookings for activities and restaurants. She always responded immediately, was very polite, and consistently did her best to accommodate our requests.

Our driver, Herath, was also wonderful. He was friendly, flexible, and very helpful, with great patience. He took excellent care of us—making us feel safe at all times while still giving us privacy.

We already miss Sri Lanka and truly hope to return to this wonderful country in the future. Thank you!

Wow Wow Wow. Pulasthi our driver was absolutely fantastic. He was a star from start to finish and had the best sense of humour. Informative about everything to do with Sri Lanka and he was very flexible with all our timings. He stopped many times for us to try the best fruit enroute as well as obtained great tickets to the Kandy traditional dancing. We always felt comfortable and safe and will definitely return to Sri Lanka and ask for him. A lovely family man who made our time memorable.

We spent 12 days travelling around Sri Lanka with Prasad as our driver, and I honestly can’t imagine the trip without him. From the first day, he was friendly, reliable and always right on time. He helped us plan each day in the best possible way — suggesting when to visit certain places, where to eat, and even when it’s better to skip a stop to avoid crowds.

He knows the island inside out and shared so many interesting things along the way. Driving in Sri Lanka isn’t easy, but with him we always felt completely safe and relaxed, even on mountain roads or in busy towns.

One of the nicest memories was when we decided very early in the morning to go to Sigiriya. I called him around 5 a.m. and he was there in minutes, cheerful as always, ready to take us.

Prasad isn’t just a great driver — he really cares. He checked if we had enough water, if we were tired, and made sure everything went smoothly. We are very grateful for his kindness and would recommend him to anyone travelling in Sri Lanka.

I contacted Sri Lanka Private Driver and was very impressed by how quickly they responded to my inquiry – professional, efficient, and helpful from the very beginning.

A special thank you goes to our driver, Upul, who made the entire trip even more enjoyable. He was not just a driver, but also a fantastic guide. Always professional, punctual, respectful, and kind, Upul made us feel safe and well taken care of throughout the journey.

He recommended interesting sights that we would have otherwise missed, took us to great local restaurants he personally knew, and shared so many fascinating stories about Sri Lanka’s culture, history, and everyday life. It really enriched our experience.

I highly recommend this agency and especially Upul to anyone looking for a reliable and insightful travel experience in Sri Lanka!

Choosing this company was the best decision! We had an amazing experience in Sri Lanka with Upul as our driver. His reliable service exceeded our expectations so much!! Thanks to his experience, connections, ideas, and smart planning, we were able to experience so much more than we initially planned.
Upul is not just an excellent and reliable driver but also a kind, caring person with a great sense of humor and, most importantly, a good heart ❤️. Our group (6 people) cannot recommend him enough!

During my recent trip to Sri Lanka, I was genuinely impressed by the transport services available. Renting a car with a driver turned out to be one of the best decisions we made. The process was seamless — from booking online to meeting our driver, everything was well-organized. Our driver was not only punctual and professional but also incredibly knowledgeable about the local culture and sights. Upul was like a father for us, he is a wonderful person! He ensured we had a comfortable ride, while also offering insightful recommendations for places to visit. The convenience of having a local driver meant we didn’t have to worry about navigating unfamiliar roads or language barriers. Honestly Upul is like the best driver and the best person! You will not regret to drive with him! It was truly stress-free, and it allowed us to relax and enjoy the beauty of Sri Lanka to the fullest. I highly recommend this service to anyone visiting the country — it’s well worth the investment!

We had the pleasure of using the services of this company for 6 days. Our guide, Osman, was great, and we felt very safe with him. Excellent communication with the company owner and a high level of flexibility. We had a wonderful time in Sri Lanka. Thank you, and we highly recommend it!!!
