About us

A small, licensed Sri Lankan team of drivers & guides — and a simple promise: the price we quote is the price you pay.

Our story

Discover Sri Lanka with confidence

We specialise in private ground transport across Sri Lanka — chauffeur-driven tours and transfers with stops for sightseeing, led by licensed drivers and qualified chauffeur guides. Beyond simply being able to decide where you go and when, you have a local guide who can tell you the history of each place and point you towards the food worth stopping for.

Travelling with a private driver gives you the freedom to reach places public transport simply does not go. There are also good reasons not to drive yourself here: with a driver-guide you never have to think about navigating unfamiliar roads, unmarked junctions or finding your way around an unfamiliar town at the end of a long day.

What we do differently is straightforward. Our prices are published, they include park entrance fees and tolls, and nothing is added at the door. You are introduced to your driver by name and photograph 72 hours before you fly.

A real person on the end of the phone at any hour of your trip, not an answering service or a chatbot.

Vehicles under five years old, insured for passenger transport, with first aid kits and drivers trained in defensive driving.

Certified local guides

SLTDA-licensed chauffeur guides who know the sites, the seasons and the back roads properly.

Why choose us

Trusted by travellers from a dozen countries

Private touring suits anyone who would rather see Sri Lanka at their own pace. Some roads here were never designed for modern tourism, and a lot of a self-drive holiday is spent in traffic and stress. From the back seat you get the view, and someone who already knows the best route.

About the driver

Driving tourists around Sri Lanka has been my work for the past 5 years. I know the popular sights well, but I also enjoy taking guests to the smaller places in between and making the journey itself part of the experience.

I’m from Matara and have been driving guests around Sri Lanka for more than 7 years. I know the roads, small stops and quieter places well, and I’m always happy to share a few local tips along the way.

About the driver

Originally from Kandy, I’ve spent 7+ years driving across Sri Lanka, from the hill country to the coast. Guests often know me for my calm driving and for finding the best little viewpoints and stops along the journey.

About the driver

[Placeholder biography. Replace with two or three sentences in the driver’s own register — where they are from, how long they have driven this route, and one specific thing they are known for. Specificity is what makes this section work; a generic “friendly and professional” line does nothing.]

Travellers

Faces from the road

Photographs sent to us by travellers after their trips. Replace these with your own once you have permission to use them.

How we vet

Nobody drives for us until they have cleared four checks

Interview in person

A one-to-one conversation before anything else. We hire for temperament as much as for driving.

Identity & vehicle check

National ID, driving licence, SLTDA chauffeur guide registration, vehicle ownership, insurance and revenue licence — all verified.

Safety training

Road safety protocol, passenger handling, first aid basics, and our own rules on stops, tips and commission.

First trip, observed

The first booking runs with oversight and a follow-up call to the traveller before the driver takes solo work.

Come and see it for yourself.

Tell us your dates and what you would like to see. A written itinerary with one all-in price comes back within twelve hours.
