We booked with Sri Lanka Private Driver after reaching out to three companies. SLPD responded to my inquiries within hours (often minutes) despite a 12 hour time difference. Our driver was Mahesh. He was always prompt, professional, and was much more than just a driver. He was a great guide as well. We had self booked our hotels (2 nights in each of Kandy, Sigiyira, and Nuara Eliya) and had a rough idea of things we wanted to see. Mahesh made sure we saw all that we wanted and much more. He made sure we ate at restaurants friendly to our western stomachs and gave us so much information about Sri Lanka and the places we visited. I would highly recommend booking not only with SLPD, but do request Mahesh. He was great. The car was a newer model Toyota Prius. The car was always clean and stocked with water.

BH Tours were fantastic, from the beginning when I enquired (about a completely bespoke tour) to the end. They ensured that the tour was run smoothly taking us to all the important sights and ensuring we were safe and happy throughout. Nothing was too much and our driver Nishantha was fantastic! He was a true gentleman, very attentive and happy everyday. We wanted to make our trip perfect and did. The hotels they selected were beautiful, far exceeding what I expected! The safari's we did were great. Backwater Lodge near wilpattu was the most wonderful hotel & the safari from there was INCREDIBLE!!! I wouldn't recommend going to Yala, its commercial and not worth it. Sri Lanka is the most wonderful country!

Our tour started with the pick up from our hotel at Galle fort. Roshan was so friendly and extremely informative. Had a wonderful day with new friends, enjoying the scenery and hiking the Rainforest. This should be in everyone's list when visiting Sri Lanka. Loved the added bonus of Tea factory visit. Guide Wigitha made the day amazing. Although no rain in the rainforest ,this day made the hike a bit less slippery, the flora, fauna and the waterfall -- all made a lovely day. One of our Dreams was to swim under the waterfall, and we got a chance to do it here. Transportation was comfortable and efficient, and the lunch was delicious. Would highly recommend this tour and also this tour company.

The park offers everything that is needed for an exciting safari. Great landscapes, many animals, especially elephants! We were very close to the elephants and were very lucky to be able to watch a whole herd and also some baby elephants. Furthermore, I would like to emphasize our tour guide - not only did he inspire and excite us with his very good mood, he also saw many small animals with his trained eye and answered our questions thoroughly. The 3 hours passed by in no time and gave us many nice memories. Would totally recommend booking a trip with these guys :-)

Everything about this tour company was wonderful. After getting no response from the large operators such as Classicwing Travels, I found this tour company on Facebook and they certainly went the extra mile on all aspects to make our 7 day trip everything that we eagerly waited for. From elementary discussions with Upul Karunarathne, you get the feeling that you are dealing with a professional. Everything was itemised and costed, with a truly bespoke tour put together for us (we had a few off the track sites that we wanted to visit, and these were accommodated for). Everything was well-organized prior to our arrival with good recommendations on hotels and attractions to make sure we got the most out of our trip. Kumara (our chauffer guide for the whole 7 day trip) was one of the most ardent individuals we met on our trip. He has a comprehensive knowledge and incessantly pointed things out along the way that were of enthusiasm, whether it be a plant, animal or place of worship. He has a real passion for his country and it was great to hear about the history that this tremendous place has. He literally couldn't do enough for us he was always cheerful. Everything could be customised on route, and we altered the day activities as we wanted. This made it that much more relaxing. Kumara was always glad to work around what we wanted out of the day, and not what was in the schedule, which we loved. The vehicle we had was a new Toyota (KDH) van with air-con and we felt very safe throughout the trip. We had the best time in Sri Lanka and I would highly recommend this company with much confidence and equally look forward to using them again in the future. Thanks Upul Karunarathne and Kumara for the unforgettable experience. It wouldn't have been a pleasant reality without you! M.C.P.J.
