Lanka Suri Tours, Bohoma Sthuthi!🙏Posted on Tripadvisor Arlene AVerified An Exceptional Sri Lankan Experience – Kudos to Chamal! We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Lanka Suri Travel and Tours during our 8-day trip around Sri Lanka. From the very beginning, everything was well organised, smooth, and stress-free, which allowed us to truly relax and enjoy the beauty, culture, food, and incredible experiences that Sri Lanka has to offer. A very special mention must go to our wonderful driver, Chamal, who was one of the main reasons our trip was so enjoyable and memorable. Chamal is calm, patient, extremely professional, respectful, and genuinely caring. He was always punctual, attentive, and happy to help, while also giving us the right amount of space to enjoy our holiday. Nothing ever seemed to be a problem for him, and he handled everything with such patience and professionalism. As three ladies travelling together, feeling comfortable and safe was extremely important to us. From Day 1 through Day 8, we felt completely safe and looked after while travelling with Chamal. His calm nature, responsible driving, local knowledge, and professionalism gave us tremendous peace of mind throughout the entire journey. Lanka Suri Travel and Tours is a company we would happily recommend to anyone planning a trip to Sri Lanka, especially solo travellers, couples, families, or groups of friends. And if you are fortunate enough to have Chamal as your driver, you will be in excellent hands. Thank you to the entire Lanka Suri Travel and Tours team, and especially to Chamal, for making our 8-day Sri Lankan adventure so comfortable, safe, enjoyable, and memorable.

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.

Sammy was an incredible driver and companion during my road trip through Sri Lanka. He truly made the experience positive and interesting. He is not only a highly skilled and focused driver but also deeply knowledgeable about the country's culture, religion, and every site we visited. Thanks to him, my time in Sri Lanka was productive and deeply satisfying. What stood out most was his exceptional patience and driving technique; I always felt safe and at ease, which is vital on these roads. Sammy was also incredibly attentive to every detail—always ready with water, an umbrella, or advice on the best spots to avoid crowds and take the perfect photo. He is a fantastic driver and an even better human being. I cannot recommend him highly enough! THANK YOU SAMMYPosted on Google naji younesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Outstanding tour! Professional guidance, seamless organization, and unforgettable experiences. Highly recommend!Posted on Google Mike ZangwillTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sri Lanka Tour Driver With Car is a family run business located in Negombo, Sri Lanka. Sam, the owner, helps plan your itinerary. The tour package includes driver, car, gasoline, driver's meals and his accommodations. Sam is very responsive and you can talk to him directly via whatsapp. The driver is available 24/7 and will carry and watch your belongings while you go out to dinner or on an excursion. Our driver, Chamal, Sam's younger brother, speaks good English and translated for us which comes in very handy as not all Sri Lankans speak English. Chamal is good natured and very cheerful. Chamal makes suggestions on things to do and then places to stop along the way. He can book your safaris and has connections to get highly desired tickets for the mountain train ride. We booked a hotel in Unawatuna that was not what we expected. Chamal helped us find and drove us to another hotel and then helped us to get reimbursed. This is a private tour so you decide if want to sleep in and when you want to get going. He also knows where to eat and what to eat so you don't get sick. We highly recommend hiring Sri Lanka Tour Driver With Car.Posted on Google AlanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wir hatten das große Glück, drei Wochen lang von Herr Sameera durch Sri Lanka begleitet zu werden – und rückblickend war das einer der wichtigsten Gründe, warum diese Reise so besonders war. Er war immer pünktlich, extrem zuverlässig und ein sehr sicherer Fahrer, selbst auf langen Strecken und im dichten Verkehr. Darüber hinaus hat er unsere Reise mit seiner lokalen Erfahrung, ehrlichen Empfehlungen und großartigen Routenideen enorm bereichert. Viele Orte, Restaurants und Stopps hätten wir ohne ihn niemals entdeckt. Vielen Dank!Posted on Google Furkan OzturkTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Sammera made this trip incredible and without him this wouldnt be possible thank you sameera 😉👍🏻💚Posted on Google Barbara KálócziTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We spent two wonderful weeks in Sri Lanka with our driver and guide, Jeewan, and we couldn’t have wished for anyone better. He was not only professional and reliable, but genuinely kind, caring and always patient with our children. Thanks to Jeewan, our kids’ first trip to Asia became a truly unforgettable experience. Every day was well organised, we always felt safe on the road, and he was flexible with our plans while sharing great local tips and stories. We highly recommend Jeewan to any family travelling in Sri Lanka. If you are looking for a safe driver, a knowledgeable guide and a warm‑hearted person who treats you like family, he is the perfect choice.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
