Excellent Service and an Outstanding Driver – Highly Recommended! I had a wonderful experience with Lanka Suri Tours and Travels during my recent trip to Sri Lanka, and I would like to sincerely thank the entire team for providing such excellent service. A special mention must go to Mr. Sampath, who was my driver throughout the trip. He was absolutely excellent — extremely punctual, cooperative, polite, mature, understanding, helpful, and genuinely pleasant to travel with. In fact, he always arrived before the scheduled time to pick me up, which gave me great confidence throughout my journey. Mr. Sampath was not just a driver; he was also an excellent guide and a wonderful travel companion. He patiently guided me throughout my journey and provided useful information about the places we visited. We had many interesting conversations during the long drives between Negombo, Kandy and Nuwara Eliya, which made the travelling experience even more enjoyable. He is a very gentle and responsible person, and I always felt comfortable and safe travelling with him. I would strongly recommend Mr. Sampath to anyone visiting Sri Lanka. If you are looking for a reliable, experienced and friendly driver who can make your journey comfortable and enjoyable, I would definitely recommend requesting him. I would also like to appreciate Mr. Sam, the owner, who was very friendly, professional and pleasant to communicate with. The company provided excellent service from beginning to end. Another major advantage of Lanka Suri Tours and Travels is that their pricing is very competitive and economical compared with many other options, while the quality of service is excellent. The vehicle and overall transportation service were also very good, comfortable and well managed. I was honestly more than satisfied with the service. I had not expected to receive such a combination of an experienced driver, knowledgeable guide and genuinely nice person in Mr. Sampath. He made a significant difference to my overall Sri Lanka experience. 10/10 — Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For anyone travelling to Sri Lanka, I would definitely recommend giving Lanka Suri Tours and Travels an opportunity to provide your transportation and travel services. I will certainly look forward to using the same company again on my next visit to Sri Lanka. Thank you once again to Mr. Sam, Mr. Sampath and the entire team for making my journey so comfortable and enjoyable. Wishing Lanka Suri Tours and Travels continued success and growth in the future. May they continue providing the same excellent service so that many more travellers can benefit from their expertise and hospitality. God bless you all! 10 out of 10 — Excellent service and highly recommended!

Chamsl did a great job of customizing the tour to fit my preferences, hotel choices, etc.
We had a wonderful 5-day trip in Sri Lanka with our driver, Jeevan. The package was arranged by Sam, and we visited Ella, Nuwara Eliya, and Kandy. Jeevan was very friendly, helpful, and a safe driver throughout the trip. Everything was well organized, and we really enjoyed the journey. Highly recommended!
Had a very good experience with Lanka Suri Tours. We had a great time exploring Sri Lanka with Chamal. He was a very safe driver and very knowledgeable about the routes. One thing to note for future travelers: he is very enthusiastic about suggesting local workshops and shops.While these didn't always align with our personal interests, he was happy to get back on track once we spoke up. Just be clear about your itinerary preferences. Overall would highly recommend!
We booked a private tour with Sam, (Suri Lanka Tours) thru WhatsApp. We found him thru ChatGPT. Of the three that o contacted Sam’s response was swift, professional and concise. I close with him within a few days. On the day of arrival he introduced us to his driver / tour guide Jeewan. Jeewan is very contentious and knowledgeable in his work. He is attentive to our needs. He did not hesitate to introduce places of interest for us to consider. Overall we are happy and satisfied with his service.
Sam gave us the price compared to others Our driver knows everything he helped us a lot… We covered Colombo, yala, whale watching, Madhu river boat safari, water sports, 4 beaches… The climate was excellent. I had an amazing experience with the help of Sam and team. They are best for planning and budget
Best experience with the best hotels, car and the whole travel. Enjoyed a lot in the trip with all the processes becoming smooth and very welcoming and hospitality is great everywhere.
We had an wonderful experience in our 5 nights and 6 days Sri Lanka Tour through Lanka Suri Tours and Travels , Organized by Mr. Sam and fulfilled by our Tour guide and Chauffeur Jeevan . Jeevan was a wonderful tour guide and took us to all the key tour locations within our stipulated time. He was very energetic and used to welcome us daily with flowers and drinking water in our Van seats. Even during late nights when we asked for a site visit , he happily took us in spite of his tiredness. He took us only to trusted and reliable activity organizers of Mangrove boating, snorkeling, etc . I mention trusted as I missed my pouch with dollars and passport in the Mangrove boating site and came to know about it only after I reached the next tour activity of Turtle hatchery . But Jeevan called up the mangrove boating organizer company , located my pouch and he drove back to collect it and handed it over to me with all the goods safely in the Pouch. They booked us in the best Hotels with good views like beach view in Bentota , Tea gardens view in Nuwara Eliya,etc. Would highly recommend Sri Lanka Tour with Lanka Suri Tours and Travels and love to travel and tour with Jeevan again.
We had a wonderful experience in our Srilanka Trip of 6days organised by Lanka Suri Tours and Travels of Mr.Sam.He has arranged Jeevan as our tour guide and chauffeur.They have both welcomed us in the airport with seashell garlands.Jeevan is a nice and a pleasant person He took us to all the tour locations like Nuwaraeliya,Kandy and Bentota and shown us all the important tourist spots .He didn't miss anything.Every morning he welcomed us with a beautiful smile and a row of fresh flowers in our seats.Sometimes, because of our time constraint s we were unable to take our lunch.He didn't mind that at all and was very particular in showing us all the beauty of Srilanka.We wanted to try Lamprais,a famous Srilankan food.First two days,we didn't get a chance.On the third day,he took great efforts and took us to the famous Chill cafe in Ella to try that.It was a good experience. Especially, whichever doubts I asked about Srilanka and it's culture,he patiently answered and cleared my doubts.Jeevan is a very sweet person to fulfill all our Srilankan trip wishes.I wanted to visit the famous Pettah market in Colombo.Amidst of traffic,he took us there.In Colombo airport,Jeevan presented us a beautiful momento of a photoframe with all our happy moments with him taken in various tourist spots over there,on behalf of Lanka Suri Travels..We felt so happy to see it as well as sad to leave Srilanka.Really we felt so glad to have selected Lanka Suri Travels and Jeevan as our chauffeur.We highly recommend them for your Srilankan trip.They will never disappoint you.
We had a wonderful experience touring Sri Lanka with Sam (organizer) and Chamal (our driver)! They worked hard to customize the itinerary to squeeze in all we could in 6 days (saw all the highlights we hoped to see in a rushed tour). Their prices were the best we found as well. Sam checked in on us regularly and made it clear he'd do whatever needed to make us happy. Chamal was attentive as a driver and was happy to make changes on the fly, find places for a quick stop when needed, and randomly pulled over to roadside stands for King Coconut, Curd and Treacle, and so on! We loved it! Highly recommended. Thanks again!
The whole experience was amazing. Mr Chamal has been a very good host and took great care of us. He was very patient with whatever we needed. Would highly recommend traveling with him if you're in Sri Lanka.
Amazing experience. Very safe, cordial and cheerful. Please don't look beyond this tour connect. Seamless in contact and coordination and flexible in trip schedules, they take care of everything, right from external bookings to supermarket visits to best coconut water places.
The tour arranged by Sam was perfect. For a quite short trip (4 days & 5 nights), we could see the best of sri lanka: Sigiriya, Elephant Safari, Nanuoya-Ella train, Nine Arch Bridge and Galle Dutch Fort. Despite of challenging weather, all of our bucket list are checked because our tour guide, -Jeewan - was discipline in time management. Thank you Sam & Jeewan for making our trip in Sri Lanka so memorable. God bless you
We used “Sri Lanka Tour Driver with Car” for our vacation in Sri Lanka over Christmas, and our experience was absolutely terrific. Sam, who manages the company, was extremely responsive and easy to communicate with via WhatsApp. He even helped us secure tickets for the famous Ella-to-Kandy train, which made things much easier for us, especially since we were arranging everything from the U.S. Our driver, Jeewan, was fantastic. He did an excellent job driving us to all the places on our itinerary. In Kandy, where the traffic was absolutely nightmarish, he navigated the chaos skillfully, and we never once worried about his abilities. Jeevan also managed the winding roads in the tea country with ease and made sure to take breaks when needed, ensuring a safe and comfortable journey. Overall, this was a wonderful experience, and we would highly recommend this company. Sam’s responsiveness and Jeewan’s professionalism truly stood out.
One of the best tour. Trust Sam and trust Chaman. They are the best in industry and town. We were very happy to in Lanka. Good job Sam and Chaman
We just spent six days all over Sri Lanka with the wonderful Jeewan. Every day was full of rich, unique adventures that we will never forget! Mr. Sam and Jeewan designed a perfect trip for us, incorporating our personal interests (such as birdwatching) and desires (such as riding that cool train). We can't say enough about Jeewan; beyond being the most EXCELLENT driver (master of hairpin turns on mountain roads, rain, cows, dogs, traffic), Jeewan is a fun, patient, kind, smart, human being. He brought Sri Lanka alive for us and we loved learning about this absolutely beautiful country through him. All of their hotel suggestions and restaurant choices along the way were excellent. It was a spectacular trip, and we are so happy we found Sri Lanka Tour Driver With Car: an ordinary company name, an extraordinary company. :)
We are glad that we picked this services as it added so much extra to our trip in Sri Lanka! Mr. Sam explained everything before the start and we had a great time. Jeewan was an exceptional driver during our trip to Sri Lanka. He was kind, professional, and always went above and beyond to make our journey smooth and enjoyable. He knew the best places to visit, from must-see spots to hidden gems, and his thoughtful touches—like fresh flowers in the car each morning—made the experience even more special. Highly recommend Jeewan and the whole service which runs by Mr. Sam if anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable driver in Sri Lanka!
Sri Lanka is a beautiful place no doubt but the people like Sam , Indu and Sangeth make it more beautiful. I heard great things about Sri Lankan hospitality and I’m glad to receive it through these guys! I’m a 4 month old baby mom and couldn’t do many things physically, Sam and Indu understood that well and Indu always kept me first and made sure I don’t get exerted too much . We had a great trip and Thanks to God the rain made it more beautiful! We are sure to come again to Srilanka with our whole family to enjoy the place and the hospitality by this team.
On the 1day, 23.8.2024, we were welcome with Beautiful garlands by Mr.Sam. We were then driven to airport hotel. We had good rest and the next day had our BF and started our beautiful adventures & memorable day. We proceed to Sigiriya and visited Buddhist Temple.Our tour guide Mr Jeewan was very friendly and very knowledgeable throughout our tour, he made us very confortable. Our vacation was for 10 days and this trip was organized specifically for our grandson, he wanted to visit the animal park n safari. Mr Jeewan make sure we were able to see the elephants. We were told we might not able to see but manage to see the whole family of elephants with close contact. Jeep was scary but very exciting. Same goes to dolphin watching we were lucky to see schools of dolphins after 2 n half hours at sea. We visited many places, I would like to say Mr Jeewan made us feel very confortable, he was very caring and make sure we reach our destination on time. The hotel arrangements was very good. The restourent that he recommended us were fabulous. Food was delicious and hygienic. Our grandson hit off well with him. I like to say we really appreciated what Mr Jeewan did throughout this 10 days. My wife’s favourite part was buying stuff ie house decoration, the last stop she manage to get some good stuff and made her day. I would like pen off by saying we are glad we chose Mr Sam’s tour. And as Mr Sam recommended his best tour guide/driver Indeed Mr jeewan was such. We had memorable adventures and lovely holiday. Thank you so much to Mr Sam n Mr Jeewan.

Hired Sri Lanka Tour Driver with Car for our 8D/7N tour of Sri Lanka. Sam quoted a very reasonable price and arranged a nice, clean Honda car along with Mr. Siraj as the driver. I requested Sam to arrange a driver who could speak English well. Siraj was very punctual and helping. He had great cultural, economical and geographical knowledge of Sri Lanka which helped us to understand Sri Lanka better. Had a great trip of 8 days, covering Colombo, Kandy, Dambulla, Anuradhapura and Trincomalee. Overall, very happy with the services of Sri Lanka Tour Driver with Car.
We and oour parents had been to Srilanka for 5 days and we were super lucky to have Dhanuka with us. Dhanuka knows all the places really well and was able to guide us to different attractions. He took care of us like family and that made the whole trip so awesome. He is so dedicated to the work and everyday comes with a super clean car inside and outside irrespective of how late we finish the day. The vehicle is also very good condition. We were also able experience a lot of local places due to his expereince. My aged parents were specially taken care by Dhanuka whether it is opening the door for them everytime or taking them to places and helping them walk around. He is so genuine and cheerful. He definitely makes the trip special.
I got Mr. Sam's number online and decided to give a call to book my trip of 5 days to Srilanka. Sam was very well spoken and assigned me a driver with car within an hour. We had a raw itenrary before the trip and the driver assigned was accommodative to carry our plan with a few changes according to his suggestion which was nice and enhanced our experience. A special thumbs up for our driver Sajira 🙂
