          Amazing Sri Lanka experience with Lanka Tours
          Together with my fiancee, we did 4 tours with Lanka Tours and it was amazing. Our driver - Rumma, super nice, kind and always smiling person. We are extremely happy that we had so much luck to find those tours among many others on the market.

          Best tour guide in the world
          This was by far the best way to see Sri Lanka with an experience guide. Our trip was made because of this company. We are so happy that we booked this. You won’t be disappointed by far the best tour guide we’ve experienced in all parts of the world we have traveled.

          Best Tour Guide in Sri Lanka
          It was my first time in Sri Lanka and since my wife & myself were travelling with a 2 yo toddler and elderly parents, we were looking for someone who could help us manage our trip well. We were lucky to find & book Taraka aka Tim as our tour guide, who was our guiding light through out the 10 days tour. Super flexible, hospitable and genuine, he is a gem of person who drove us around Srilanka to see all the wonderful cities such as Colombo, Negombo, Unawatuna, Candy, Nuwara Eliya and Ella. From the moment we arrived at Colombo airport, be it day or night, we would have Taraka at our beck and call to support, guide and help us around. Thank you for making our trip to SriLanka full of memories and smiles. 😌

          2 week trip around Sri Lanka
          Tim was the most exceptional guide you could ever want! He made our experience in Sri Lanka so special. We felt completely safe with Tim and we learnt a lot about Sri Lanka as well. We loved Tim’s company and if you ever go to Sri Lanka, you must hire Tim! My whole family gelled with Tim and when we go back to Sri Lanka, we will be in touch again

          best 3 days from sri lanka highlights
          i had a luck to talk with Tim from lanka tour before I plan details when i just had air ticket. and he suggest itiniery during my stay and i also give some feedback and suggestion. result was very successful and satisfied becuase i had spent the best time out of my short visit (3 days) at sigiriya, kandy, mirissia, galle and more. not only that, tim explained and shared a lot of real sri lanka culture and stuff beyond tourist information, which i always look for my travel. i felt like traveling with my long years of friend for 3-4 days. absolutely one of the best tours among my 80+ counties tours and highly recommended to anyone.

          Dambulla, Sigiriya, minneriya- Tour
          For the lazy, it was a great day that is highly recommended. For those who are really interested: A look outside the mainstream showed that Tim is extremely talented. Explanations about the culture and traditions and the history of the country were impeccable and were explained with patience. We also had dinner together on the long journey, he asked if we could make a quick stop at the scrapyard, logically, as a car mechanic I couldn't miss it 😂. The country has a lot more to offer than just a few historical sites and beach. So my personal expectations were more than exceeded, Tim did his job perfectly and can be recommended at any time!

          Good airport
          We arrive at 5pm. It took us about 30 minutes to clear immigression and custom. Very fast with many counters. Then proceeded to collect our luggage. It was a easy exit.

          Driver/guide recommendation
          I usually not write a review but in this case , I just have to. This was a excellent experience , tim take us from arugambay for one week and show us a lot of places in the road, explained everything and help us to choose hotels and restaurants. He not only a good guide and driver, he is first a good parson. I highly recommend it to anyone coming to Sri Lanka.

          Seamless Transfer Experience!
          Great experience with Tim getting transfer from Ella to Arugam Bay and then a few days later from Arugam Bay to Colombo. Always exactly on time and car very comfortable. When we got to Colombo, he even arranged for a friend to return to bring me to the airport for my scheduled flight at 3am. Would 100% recommend.
