Hi everyone! I took a 2-day tour with guide Ishar and his trainee Rashen, and I really enjoyed it. It was a packed tour, and we visited some beautiful places! On day 1 we saw the Nine Arch Bridge, Little Adam's Peak, a tea plantation and much more. On day 2, Sigiriya and the elephant hotel stood out most. There were an incredible number of elephants, around 40. I've never seen so many. You could write a whole story about Sigiriya, it's the 8th wonder of the world! Everything went smoothly, without a single hitch. Great job, guys! We also had a superb driver who got us to every place quickly and comfortably. I recommend seeing all this beauty. You won't regret it!

We took a 2-day tour with our child to Ella, Sigiriya, Ravana Pool and Pinnawala. Our guide was Dilan and our driver was Chamara. We were lucky with them. The tour felt relaxed and they took all our wishes into account. Dilan did his best to bring us to every location first, with as few other tourists as possible. He is also an interesting person to talk to. We learned a lot and had fun. Oh, and our child adores Dilan and says he will miss him :) That says a lot. Thank you to the driver for the great driving. We got through all the winding mountain roads comfortably and without any problems, even our 5-year-old. Thank you, it was fantastic!

My friend and I took the two-day Ella + Pinnawala + Sigiriya tour. Huge thanks for the tour! The route is out of this world: Sigiriya, ancient history with an incredible view; the Pinnawala nursery, a sea of joy from the elephants; a great hotel, tasty breakfast and dinner, plus live music in the evening! Ella is home to the famous Nine Arches Bridge and the train. Nuwara Eliya has fairytale tea plantations and clean mountain air. Everything was perfectly organized, punctual and very full. Our guide Ishara is wonderful, a person with mega positive energy. His stories are a pleasure to listen to! Thanks also to Rashan for the photos and interesting stories! Special thanks to the driver for comfort and safety on the winding mountain roads. Sri Lanka made us fall in love with it for good! I recommend this tour to everyone. It's worth it! ❤️

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the tour you organized for me! Everything was organized really well: the transfer, the hotel, the flight tickets. Everything was clear. It was very nice that everyone I dealt with was so friendly. I hope this wasn't my last time in Vietnam, and if I come back, I'll contact only you! You are wonderful professionals! Thank you once again! Special thanks to your colleagues who organized all the transfers! Guys, well done!! All the drivers were great! I wish you all prosperity!! Irina Mulaleva

Good afternoon! Yesterday we went on a tour to Galle and a river safari. We were lucky, because our guide was Dilanchik again :) It was interesting and exciting. Thank you, Dilan, for your attention and care, and for the relaxed atmosphere. The bus was also good and comfortable :) I will definitely recommend you to my friends and acquaintances. Sri Lanka is wonderful and has truly stolen my heart ❤️

How private tours in Sri Lanka are organized
Private tours in Sri Lanka give you a unique chance to explore the island at your own pace and with maximum comfort. Unlike standard group tours, where everything is planned in advance and limited by strict timings, private tours offer flexibility and a personal approach.
1. Personalized itinerary
Every route is designed around your interests and preferences. You choose which places you want to visit, whether ancient temples, tropical forests, beaches or local markets. Your wishes apply not only to the destinations but also to how much time you spend at each place and the pace of your trip. For example, if you are interested in culture and history, the tour will focus on historic monuments and temples. If you prefer nature, you can be taken along scenic trails or offered snorkeling in calm waters.
2. Private guide
An experienced guide will accompany you for the whole route and is always ready to answer your questions and share more about the places you visit. Your guide will be your companion not only for history, but also for local culture, food and traditions. With no other participants, you can ask any questions and receive full attention.
3. Comfort and convenience
Private tours are organized for maximum comfort. You will be picked up from and returned to a convenient place, travelling in a car with a driver. Your wishes on timing, stops and breaks are taken into account. On a private tour, you do not need to rush or fit in with a group schedule. You decide how your day will go.
4. Exclusive places
Private tours often include places that are not on standard routes. These may be little-known villages, remote beaches or meetings with local craftspeople. This way, you see Sri Lanka from an unusual side, visit places that mass tourists do not reach, and learn more about life on the island.
5. Unique experiences
Beyond the traditional sights, private tours can offer unique experiences, such as taking part in local festivals or events, tasting authentic dishes or even joining ceremonies that are off the mass tourism trail.
Our recommendations
Hotel lunch box
A hotel lunch box is a practical way to take food with you on tours and day trips.
Sun protection
Sun protection is essential on tours, as the tropical sun is strong even in the morning.
Comfortable shoes
Sneakers or light trekking sandals are the best choice for hills and trails in Sri Lanka.
Chargers
Keep chargers and a power bank within reach so your devices don’t let you down on the road.
Cash for personal spending
You can pay for big purchases by card, but it is best to pay for small expenses in cash.
Rain jacket
A compact rain jacket is handy for tours and walks through the jungle.

Sri Lanka private tours: frequently asked questions
How do private tours differ from group tours?
Private tours offer several advantages over group tours. First, a personalized approach: the route is fully tailored to your interests and pace. You get your own guide, ready to answer all your questions and adapt the tour to what you want. This means flexibility and the chance to change plans during the trip, which is almost impossible on group tours, where you follow a fixed schedule and must consider everyone's interests.
Can I change the route of a private tour on the spot?
One of the biggest advantages of a private tour is that you can change the route on the spot. If you suddenly want to spend more time somewhere or visit a new point of interest, you can easily discuss it with your guide. Route flexibility lets you get the most out of your trip and make it exactly the way you want.
How much does a private tour in Sri Lanka cost?
The cost of a private tour depends on several factors, including the length of the tour, the number of travelers, the places you visit and the services included. For an approximate price, contact our team or check the relevant travel platforms.
Are transfers and accommodation included in the tour price?
Transfers and accommodation are usually included in the price of multi-day private tours, but this can vary depending on the organizer and the specific tour. Be sure to check this when you book.
How safe is it to travel in Sri Lanka?
Sri Lanka is generally considered a safe destination for travel. However, as in any country, it is advisable to take the usual precautions, especially when visiting remote areas and travelling at night. Stay up to date with safety information and advice from local authorities and travel agencies.
