About Activity
Imagine Sri Lanka with your own private car and driver for 14 days. No crowded buses, no timetables — just you, the open road, and a local who knows every turn.
Climb Sigiriya's Lion Rock at sunrise, when the air is cool and the steps are quiet. Cook five curries on a wood fire in a village kitchen. Pick tea with the plucking team, then taste it fresh from the factory. Ride the famous blue train to Ella from a window seat as tea hills roll past.
Watch wild elephants gather at Minneriya, look for leopards in Yala, and head out to sea to spot blue whales with an operator that never chases them.
Early starts, easy afternoons, and a route planned by a local Sri Lankan team. You see more, rush less, and feel at home.

A Perfect Day at Trincomalee BeachTrail28973524652
Jul 13, 2026, 10:46:35 PM Our Trincomalee Beach tour was one of the most relaxing experiences we had in Sri Lanka. The soft golden sand, crystal-clear blue water, and peaceful atmosphere made the entire day unforgettable. We spent hours swimming, walking along the shore, and simply enjoying the beautiful ocean views. The beach was clean, well maintained, and never felt overcrowded, which made it even more enjoyable. Everyone we met was friendly and welcoming, adding to the wonderful experience. If you are looking for a quiet beach with breathtaking scenery and a refreshing escape from busy city life, I highly recommend this tour. It was truly worth every moment, and I would happily visit again
Peaceful and Memorable Private TourSubani R
Jul 13, 2026, 11:23:23 AM Our private tour to the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic was one of the most meaningful experiences of our Sri Lanka trip. Everything was well organized, and our guide explained the history and cultural importance of the temple in a clear and engaging way. We had enough time to explore, admire the beautiful architecture, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere without feeling rushed. The entire tour was comfortable, professional, and thoughtfully planned. If you want to experience this sacred place with less stress and a more personal touch, I highly recommend this private tour. It was truly unforgettable and worth every moment

Best and great sigiriya tourSamira P
Jul 12, 2026, 11:05:46 AM We joined a private tour to Sigiriya with our family and had a fantastic experience. The tour was well organized, comfortable, and enjoyable from start to finish. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared many interesting facts about the history of Sigiriya. The climb was rewarding, and the views from the top were absolutely breathtaking. We never felt rushed and had enough time to explore and take photos. Everything was arranged perfectly, making the day stress-free and memorable. Highly recommended for families visiting Sri Lanka
Exceptional customer service and trip customisatione-s03
Our experience with Sinhagiri Tours was exceptional - from the first message (via what's app) onwards. They were very responsive to messages and listened to where I did and did not want to go (I had done a lot of research before reaching out yet other operators repeatedly ignored my opinion and pushed where they thought we should go) before creating a fully custom itinerary for my family, with the needs of our 7 year old train obsessed son in mind. They were really helpful and honest with booking train travel in Sri Lanka (advised us to use the official government booking site [which is very easy!] plus let us know which train stations were now open after the flooding) and gave recommendations when requested.
Unfortunately, I have been forced to cancel the trip (which should have started next week) because to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East leading to our flights being cancelled by the airline. However, Sinhagiri Tours have been very flexible and understanding in recent days and we are so devastated that we can not take the trip. We will definitely be rebooking with them for March 27.
Fantastic trip filled with memoriesShaojunC2
It’s a very unforgettable trip for me, filled with extraordinary experience of hiking, dolphin and turtle watching as well as leopard and elephant safaris.
Lahiru is a wonderful driver, taking me to his family and accompanying me all the way throughout the trip. For Chinese tourists, the advice is that you stay away from too much cold drinks so as not to feel stomach problems. :-)
Amazing tours of mountains, beach, national parks, historic sitesbridgetd875
Jan 10, 2026, 10:18:15 AM HIGHLY recommend this tour package!! They are so kind and go above and beyond for the customers. We felt very safe the whole time and saw so many amazing things. The tour company made it so easy to plan and we didn’t have to worry about figuring out how to get around. They also provided a homemade welcome dinner which was so delicious and gave us a gift to remember our time here 🥰 we really loved Sri Lanka thank you to this tour
10/10!! Amazing driver/friend for flexible tours!thomascJ1607KI
We inquired about a driver with Sinhagiri tours due to the cyclone and disrupted travel plans as a consequence. This was arguably our best decision of our Sri Lanka trip. They penciled in a 16 day trip with full itineraries of which we could pick and choose to our leisure. We often deviated from our plans on the day and this wasn’t a problem. We had Lahiru as our driver who had experience travelling around Sri Lanka, he knew lots of places to visit in all 8 of our town stops across the country. Lahiru was great for securing us “local prices” on tourist attractions and saving us over 50% on ticket entries. I would seriously recommend Sinhagiri Tours to anyone and ask for Lahiru as the driver! We’ve made a friend for life.
Mother and Daughter Trip!jodieedworthy
We've had the most amazing trip! Thank you Sinhagiri Tours for arranging and being so attentive to our ideas. We've been very well looked after, especially with the recent floods to ensure our trip went as smoothly as possible. A special shout out to our guide Lahiru, who was so lovely and kind. Thank you so much. We would highly recommend!

Hospitality 9/10
In my opinion i think srilanka people was quite type, we must ask first

Food 6/10
Not a country to go for foodie, but still ok they have pizza hut and kfc in most of town 🤭
Accomodation 7/10
I thought they start tourism too early, so hotel in strategic position was old enough
Expense $$$
Quite expensive for asian country, gladly not much to buy here except gems and wood carving, the rest were chinnese product 😅
Exceptional Experience with Sinhagiri ToursMahadevan_S
Our 6-day, 5-night trip to Sri Lanka with Sinhagiri Tours was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Every detail was thoughtfully planned — from the itinerary and accommodations to the smooth transfers between cities.
A special mention goes to our driver and guide, Sangeet, who truly made the journey unforgettable. He was punctual, knowledgeable, and always went the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. His friendly personality and local insights added so much richness to our experience.
We got to see the best of Sri Lanka — from cultural sites to scenic drives and relaxing stays — all without any stress or hassle. I would highly recommend Sinhagiri Tours to anyone visiting Sri Lanka and especially suggest asking for Sangeet if you want a truly memorable trip!
Fantastic individual 5-day-tripChristian W

It was a fantastic service.
Very quick response to all requests.
Very nice drivers!
I can recommend them 100%.
I got several quotes beforehand and the price/performance definitely fit here!
Many thanks!
Exploring Sri Lanka Comfortably with Sinhagiri Toursnuumi
We had a really great trip with Sinhagiri Tours and are super thankful for the experience. Everything was well organized, and it was amazing to just enjoy the journey without any stress or planning on our side — we could really just take it all in and enjoy to the fullest.
The hotels were lovely (especially in Ella — the views were incredible!), and our driver was always friendly, on time, and helpful.
A few small things could be improved, like clearer info about lunch plans and maybe skipping very touristy spots like Little Adam’s Peak, especially when the hotel views in Ella were even better, Stunning and peaceful.
Overall, a wonderful experience with some really thoughtful touches. Thank you, Sinhagiri Tours!

"Seamless and Enriching Journey Through Sri Lanka"sadinir2025
I recently experienced a multiday tour in Sri Lanka with a private driver and car, and it was truly memorable. Having a dedicated driver made exploring the country so much easier and more enjoyable. The car was comfortable and well-maintained, perfect for the long journeys between destinations.
Sri Lanka is breathtaking, with a mix of natural beauty and cultural richness. We visited iconic places like Sigiriya, where the ancient rock fortress left us in awe, and the serene tea plantations in Nuwara Eliya. The pristine beaches in Mirissa and the vibrant streets of Kandy added even more charm to the trip.
The driver was not only skilled but also very friendly and knowledgeable. He shared insights about each location, recommended authentic local eateries, and ensured we were comfortable throughout the journey. It felt like having a guide and driver in one, which enhanced the experience significantly.
This kind of tour is ideal for anyone looking to explore Sri Lanka without worrying about transportation or navigating unfamiliar roads. It was a hassle-free and enriching experience that I would highly recommend!

The experience was relaxed, easy going and stress free, we will definitely be recommending the tours.
The perfect tour company for honeymoon travelMujthaba
I had gone to Sri Lanka for my honeymoon and booked the tour through Sinhagiri Tours.
It was wonderful and our driver Mandaara was extremely helpful, knowledgable and punctual of time.
I really appreciate the way they designed and curated our trip allowing us to visit our major site in a limited amount of time.
Along with the travel they went out of their way to even book our train tickets from Kandy to Ella and organise the safari at Yala.
They certainly made our honeymoon memorable with everything taken care of.
I would definitely recommend your company to anyone who travels to Sri Lanka.
