What is Travellers’ Choice?
Tripadvisor gives a Travellers’ Choice award to accommodations, attractions and restaurants that consistently earn great reviews from travellers and are ranked within the top 10% of properties on Tripadvisor.
The lush green tropical island of Sri Lanka will surprise you with both diversity of nature and wonderful setting of heritage attractions. For a true Sri Lanka experience you should not miss to come into contact with locals and get an impression of their genuine culture(s). Our ambition as a local tour operator is not only to show you the most impressive touristic highlights but also country and people and some places of interest which remained untouched by mass tourism, plus a taste of local cuisine. Check and compare the details of the itinerary to find out how we make a difference. This round tour does not include accommodation, this way allowing you to book the hotels or guesthouses of your own choice. This does not apply to the first three nights in Mihintale, when the accommodation is fixed. The reason is that you will come into contact with locals in my hometown and will have an opportunity to learn more about Sri Lankan cuisine in my own kitchen.

          A SRI LANKAN EXPERIENCE WITH NUWAN
          Our family holiday tour to Sri Lanka was given a huge boost when we received the services of Nuwan as Chauffeur / Guide when the original appointee withdrew his services. Thank our lucky stars Nuwan accepted at the last minute, and it took only a day to realise that we had more than just a driver through his professional outlook and great communication. The other attribute was his great sense of humour which suited us, as it set the tone for a fun time over the 15 days and simply made him one of our tour group. He was always on time and presented his van, affectionately named Rosie in pristine condition as we set out on the itemised daily event. Nuwan is a highly experienced tour guide who has an in-depth knowledge of the Sri Lankan culture, lifestyle and history. His educated commentary on various destinations and points of interest throughout our journey only enhanced his passion for his beloved country and gave us a fabulous insight too. Nuwan was able to accommodate any changes that we made to our itinerary and went above the call of duty to negotiate with our SL travel agent to ensure that we weren't disadvantaged in anyway. Every service he provided was in our best interest. Nuwan is now in the process establishing his own website and contacts within the travel industry to plan your holiday requirements. I for one will be using him when we plan our next visit to Sri Lanka and therefore would not hesitate to recommend his services to any prospective holidaymaker. He can be contacted on +94 71 609 7795 and is also available via WhatsApp. Michael L - Melbourne, Australia

          Best Srilanka Guide and Driver
          Nuwan is the best Srilanka guide and driver one can hope for. He has great knowledge of most tourist destinations including the places which not many people know about. The vehicle was excellently maintained. Thanks again Nuwan.

          Great tour guide and driver around Sri Lanka
          We had booked a 3 week holiday in Sri Lanka and needed a driver. I got a few recommendations and contacted 4 of them. Out of those, although he was the most expensive, we picked Nuwan due to his professionalism and communication. And we were not disappointed. Nuwan was a great communicator, always on time, had a great sense of humour and extremely knowledgeable. It was a bonus that he was a registered tour guide as he could take us around each place visited and explain the history and significance. Nuwan clearly has a passion for the country and culture and keen to share it. His knowledge helped not just understand the places we visited, but also the society and cultural nuances in the many parts of the country. His sense of humour fitted right in with ours, and he really became on of our touring group. He customised and adjusted the drive and visits to our wants/needs. He went above and beyond, including in one place where we had booked an Airbnb villa on the beach, cooking with the local cook for us. The van (Rosie) is super comfortable - there was only four of us so plenty of space. Cannot recommend Nuwan more highly - you can be assured you will have a great

          5 Star Sir Lanka Custom Tour
          Nuwan and his team helped arrange our be-spoke tour for 4 people, travelling for 3 weeks and covering Sri Lanka from North to South and East to West. A really professional service and hugely in-depth knowledge of the country, wildlife, history, culture and historical sites really added to the experience. Nothing was ever too much trouble. The driver and guide's terrific humour and easy-going personality made the commuting experience much more enjoyable. 5 star experience in every way. We will be back and Lanka Excursions Holidays will be our first call.

          The best
          Nuwan is an amazing guide! We booked our tour through another company but luckily had Nuwan as our guide/driver. We were so lucky. If we had known about his company we could have booked directly. We have taken many private tours in many different countries and never have we been so well looked after. Nuwan truly cared that everything was perfect for us. If you are lucky enough to travel in Sri Lanka, I can totally recommend travelling in a private tour with Nuwan.

          Amazing fortnight in Sri Lanka
          We discovered Nuwan’s company online and were really impressed with the detailed knowledge about Sri Lanka and itineraries available. Unfortunately Nuwan was not available for our dates but he found us an amazing driver (Alex) so we were really happy. We also managed to meet Nuwan in Kandy for a drinks and dinner as we were there at the same time! We couldn’t fault the service at all - Nuwan a total professional, and Alex great. For the actual trip - we are a family of four - two adults and two teenage boys (15 and 17) and we loved Sri Lanka. We worked on the itinerary with Nuwan and tweaked it as we went along with Alex. The first week we did lots of activities (hiking, walking, zip lines, temples, tea factories, spice gardens etc) and second week more beach and relaxation. It was perfect. Nuwan’s company made you feel part of a family as opposed to just another group of tourists on a tour. I would highly recommend.

          Nuwan was our Guide Sri Lanka & Highley Recommend his Services
          We inquire him for a day out program for 8 families. And we were almost 25 persons with kids. So he booked a hotel with a swimming pool and arranged a swimming coach to give some swimming lessons for the kids. Food was excellent and the location too. We were using an other company since five years. And we came a cross his website so we thought to change the company. Likely Nuwan came with us and he showed us some sites en route to the hotel with a small city tour of Negombo. Which was not included and not in the itinerary we requested. But it was a amazing 1 hour tour in the city. Even though we are Sri Lankan we would have missed those places without him. We wish all the best for Nuwan and his company and we highly recommend!!!

          Great visit to Kandy Perahera festival
          Nuwan, the owner, is very knowledgeable, articulate and explains things well. He arranged a bespoke two day tour with accommodation to see the perahera festivals in Kandy and accompanied us throughout, including taking effective action at the time when we momentarily feared being crushed due to arbitrary action by the police. He got us good seats and advised us well on the best accommodation. He got us a free upgrade to full board and agreed at short notice to add in an extra tour to the gardens at no cost when we had previously said we would stay the morning in the hotel. Recommended. Not cheap but I think that was due to extra charges for the perahera.

Nuwan has been the best guide ever, his van is perfect clean and so comfortable it make our trip so easy and it is an excellet guide, he knows everything about his wonderful country and he is a passionate of it. He took care of every detail and also is a good solver in front the little things that can appear in the way. He also get along so good with the kids and help everything to go smooth. For sure, if we travel again to Sri Lanka we will contact Nuwan, we have a friend in Sri Lanka.

          Fantastic Day Trip to Delft Island
          We stumbled across this company whilst in Sri Lanka with the objective of discovering the best way to get to Delft Island. From the moment we got in contact with this company, Newan was unbelievably helpful. On very short notice, he arranged a 2 hour transfer to and from the boat pick up point and on even shorter notice, a speed boat. we were unfortunately directed onto the wrong boat by locals at the port, which took is to the wrong island. Be aware that if you miss the first boat, it will be nearly impossible to get to the island that day for free. At this point, Newan sprung to action and helped us get there via a private boat. I will say that although the boat was more expensive, certainly when considering the transfer should have been free, it was much faster and a lot more fun! I would not recommend if you have a bad back! When we arrived at the island, we were given a 3 hour Tuk Tuk tour of the island that was completely worth it (all arranged by the company); we were then taken for a lunch at a place called ‘village stay’. The curries offered were fantastic and we were also given some complimentary beers and water through the company. At this point we made our way back home, having all the transport pre-arranged was incredibly helpful. I would highly recommend this service, it was completely worth the price.

          More than just a guide … a reliable friend
          Nuwan has been my trusted guide who also provides me with airport pick up services every time I land in Sri Lanka. My flights (from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) always land around midnight. He is always on time waiting for me and takes me safely to my family home. My family too does not worry about my safety as we all trust him. Trust is something built over time and with Nuwan, he has earned it. I first engaged Nuwan’s services when another horrible guide left me and my family stranded at Sigiriya. It was he who came to our rescue and this was 5 years ago. Since then, I have returned many times to Sri Lanka for short trips to visit my family and I have only engaged his services as it is always reliable. During my recent visit to Sri Lanka, I was wheelchair bound and he patiently waited for me and was very concerned of my situation. I have travelled the world but I have yet to meet a guide who is at par with Nuwan.

          Nuwan - best guide in Sri Lanka!
          Nuwan was amazing! We are so glad we chose him to be our guide, driver on our short Sri Lankan trip! His car is clean and very well maintained. We were 3 people and we had the whole car/van for ourselves! I would suggest Nuwan to anyone who wants to have a lovely person show them around Sri Lanka

          Five Star Holiday with a Five Star Guide
          An amazing bespoke three week trip with our fantastic guide and driver, Nuwan. As a registered tourist agency guide, Nuwan could get priority fuel at bus depots all over Sri Lanka, so fuel was not a problem. Highlights were seeing the elephants, climbing Sigirya mountain, going to Yala National Park, surfing at Arugumbay, Snorkelling at Pigeon Island, seeing sharks and turtles .. we experienced it all in beautiful Sri Lanka. We encountered no problems as reported in the media and even drove past the presidential palace. Nuwan was such great company and so knowledgeable, he really looked after us all and made our holiday unforgettable.
