Subash was oustanding and provided us with an incredible experience exploring Sri Lanka. He helped us plan the trip to make it as easy as possible and brought us to some great experiences based on things we liked - a very tailored experience! Couldn’t have asked for more

Our 16-day tour through Sri Lanka with Sri Lankan Vibe Tours was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. We traveled as a family of 7 adults from the Netherlands and can recommend this company without any hesitation. Our guide Sam was everything you could wish for in a tour guide. Extremely kind, always helpful, funny, polite, and genuinely caring. He also knows absolutely everything about Sri Lanka and shared so much interesting information about the country, its culture, and the beautiful places we visited. What impressed us most was how calm he always remained whenever a problem or unexpected situation seemed to arise — he handled everything with a smile and solved it perfectly. Thanks to Sam, we felt relaxed, welcome, and well taken care of throughout the entire trip. We would also like to compliment our driver Thushare, who drove us safely, smoothly, and professionally throughout the sometimes busy traffic of Sri Lanka. We always felt comfortable and safe with him behind the wheel. This company is reliable, highly professional, incredibly friendly, and truly experts in organizing tours around Sri Lanka. Thanks to Sam and Thushare, this became an unforgettable experience for our whole family. We highly recommend Sri Lankan Vibe Tours to anyone wanting to discover Sri Lanka in a comfortable, carefree, and truly special way!
First of all, we're usually traveling by ourselves instead of using tour guides. It would've been perfectly feasible in Sri Lanka, but we would never had the same level of experience with only 2-3 weeks in Sri Lanka. Sam was recommended to us by the friend of a friend, and I'm really happy to have chosen him as our Sri Lanka trip driver/guide, but also to have chosen this type of traveling. Sam is very professional, knowledgeable, and is an amazing human being. The trip would never have been the same without him, and I highly recommend his service to anyone wanting to have a great and optimized time in Sri Lanka. It was totally worth it. It's been a totaly stress free and very simple experience right from the start at the airport, the van was very comfortable and Sam answered all of our questions to help us to wisely choose our itinerary/activities. Thank you Sam (and your lovely family), you've made our trip in Sri Lanka a lifetime highlight.
Sam was a great host/driver. Always punctual, respectful and full of knowledge. He was proactive and supported us with planning our daily activities. Also, he was flexible and patient especially with the recent landslides in Sri Lanka. Most importantly, his driving was to a safe standard. Definitely recommend!!
It was amazing experience travelling with them. They helped us with every local activities and the best ones. Our guide Sam was extremely welcoming and generous. Our trip was super comfortable and adventurous because of them .
We had a great 2 weeks in Sri Lanka and Sam really made it memorable. He offered great advice on where to go and took us to some wonderful a places throughout the trip. He was friendly, professional and caring. Would definitely recommend!
My friend and I had an amazing few weeks in Sri Lanka. It was a last minute trip so we hadn't planned anything, but our driver and guide, Sam, provided suggestions and organized every activity for us. Sam was kind, caring, knowledgeable, and made us laugh - he really took care of us and made our trip special. I'd definitely recommend!
We had a great trip with Subash. It was me, my parents, my wife and kids. Spent 10 days on the trip and enjoyed every bit of it. Subash is honest, decent and very hospitable. He also knows routes, people on the way and has a sound knowledge of history of the places you get to visit.
We had a wonderful tour in Sri Lanka thanks to our amazing driver. He was always punctual, very friendly and made the whole trip smooth and enjoyable. His knowledge about the country, culture and beautiful places made the journey truly special. He made every effort to ensure we were comfortable and had the best experience possible. We can highly recommend him to anyone visiting Sri Lanka – it was an unforgettable experience!
Our driver Subash definitely made our trip! We were visiting Sri Lanka in February/March with a group of 7 Germans aged 22-24. He was very flexible and basically knew what to do at all times and places. We had so much fun! Definitely recommend going with him! He was so flexible, always open for our plans and keeping an eye on us! The only bad part was saying goodbye at the airport. So Subash, we hope this message finds you well! We will definitely remember you and the overall trip!! Yours Marco and the rest of our group
I’ve been lucky enough to visit Sri Lanka twice, and both times Subash made the trip extra special. The first time was a two-week adventure with friends back in 2019—we travelled to lots of different places and had the best time. Subash was always on time, super easy-going, really helpful, and his van was big, clean, and comfortable for all of us and our luggage. The second time I went back with my boyfriend last year, and even though we only stayed in three places, I contacted Subash again hoping he was still available to help with our journeys. He was just as amazing as before. I honestly can’t recommend him enough!
Top driver, knowing all spots, and restaurants. Always available to help and extremely punctual. The car is always impeccable. Search for Subashu Perera
Very pleasant experience. Even with a defined route, Subash was always giving good tips and suggestions from both places to visit and restaurants. Very friendly, good English, calm and responsible driving. Returning to Sri Lanka, he will always be the first person to contact. Thank you so much for everything.
I recommend 100%! Subash was an excellent guide and driver. Knowing the culture, the local times (where to take the right train, what time the ticket office opens), he recommended very good restaurants and experiences that otherwise we would have missed. Punctual, friendly and knowledgeable. This service allows total flexibility, I recommend to those who want to know your Lanka
Excellent experience in Sri Lanka with Subash Perera, a driver with a lot of experience and knowledge about the whole country, the passion for the country and nature is noted. Excellent recommendations according to our needs. I recommend and would mark again!
An incredible journey... 10 days in the company of this driver who was tireless. Always punctual, well disposed, communicative and very helpful. He advised on the places to visit, to eat and even for massages... Certainly you'd counter again
Immaculate driver. Always ready to help and with knowledge of the country.
To say that we fell in love with this country is not to say anything!!! Such a diverse and such a magnificent country! At the same time, we had with us a great driver Subash. Sensitive, caring, helping in any situation, clarifying information for us. Always responded promptly to our requests. Offered options for the timing. Told us on the trip about Sri Lanka, people, everything. Subash is very intelligent and has higher education. Knows a lot about his country and can support the conversation on other topics. During the trip we realized that Subash is one of the best drivers of our lives! Careful driving gave us pleasure, and if necessary, Subash could show us FORMULA 1 on serpentine. Not only did Subash get us from point A to point B, he tried to make sure that our time did not go to waste! Thank him very much. I certainly recommend it! Believe me, you won't find such a sensitive and good driver in all of Sri Lanka. Subash is the best! Recommended ... We remember Subash with all the company. We hope to come back again and see someone close to us now!!!
Guys we are just thrilled with our journey!!! Sri Lanka has revealed itself in all its beauty! Our journey began with a meeting at the airport! Mr. Subash met us as dear guests at the airport itself and led us every step of the way as a close friend. We felt supported like a big brother! Definitely recommended!!! And we'll do it for our friends in Russia. There were even places where you just couldn't get in being on a regular field trip. We were in the first in Sri Lanka and there was no difficulty for us to drive through all the cool places!!! We're just thrilled. From Mr. Subash's service and from the beauty we saw!!! 😍 Our friend led us literally in footsteps. Not obsessively, but very businesslike. Even recommended hotels, places and restaurants. 👍👍👍 Driven in total I think 700+ kilometers-- who knows what we mean. Colombo, Sigeria, Nuwara Eliya, Kandy, Ella, all south coast, islands. Saw everything!!!
We (2 adults and 3 kids) had a fantastic 10 day trip across Sri Lanka. We couldn't have had a better driver than Subash. After 15 years of experience in Asia and especially South East Asia, we know how difficult it is to find a responsible driver. At all times, safety was the focus. Subash showed us the most beautiful corners of the island and also organized the best safari tour guide - leopards included. If you want to make an unforgettable, worry-free round trip, you should not do without Subash. Thanks and see you next time 😊
We were lucky enough to have Sam as our guide for our trip of about three weeks to Sri Lanka. It adapts easily to our itinerary and planning. He even added several activities that we had not planned, and they were always excellent recommendations. Sam knows how to leave us our space with friends: he is never intrusive, but always stays nearby to ensure our safety. Thanks to his knowledge and contacts, he sometimes even managed to avoid waiting for certain activities. I recommend it 100%. He is extremely kind, professional and always available. It was an unforgettable journey — as they say in Sinhala: stutiyi, Sam!
Amazing experience! Sam is an experienced driver and guide! His driving skills saved us time and trouble! He knows Sri Lanka like the back of his pocket, he is a man of few words, but he is very pleasant to be around. He introduced us to activities and corners of the country that we would not have visited otherwise. His choices were always very pleasant! We even met his family, a warm and welcoming family!
Went on a 5 day tour with Subash to Tangalle, Unawatuna and Sigiriya. Incredibly professional driver who wanted to show us things along the way, helped us with booking whale safari, Sigiriya etc. Easy to communicate with when he speaks good English.
Fantastic experience in Sri Lanka! We traveled with Subash as a guide and it was absolutely unforgettable. He knows the country incredibly well, is helpful and friendly. You feel safe and get an authentic experience of Sri Lanka. Can highly recommend!
An exceptional driver! Always attentive to our safety, he drove us everywhere with a smile and made us discover beautiful local places. Thanks to him, our trip to Sri Lanka will remain unforgettable. The sentence Sam kept telling us every time we got out of his car: “Be Safe”, he really had our safety at heart! We couldn't have hoped for better as a driver for our trip to Sri Lanka:)
