          Wonderful trip with Nuwan around Northern and Central Sri Lanka
          Nuwan picked me up at the airport at 2am then drove my friend and me around Sri Lanka for 10 days. We went from Colombo up to Mannar, saw the flamingoes which had arrived, then on to Jaffna, the capital of the northern Tamil heartlands. The Northern Province has a different vibe to the better known south and centre of the country. The bird life, much of it aquatic, was sublime. There are military roadblocks everywhere but with Westerners in the car they rarely stop you. Then we headed back down south, through flat lands that were ravaged by the civil war, to the hill country and tea plantations around Nuwara Elia and Huputale before we drove back to Colombo. Nuwan then drove me back to the airport for a 4am flight. He was reliable, pleasant, resourceful and safe. And great company. Nothing was too much trouble for him. He always tried to accommodate us, and as he knows his country inside out he often knew good places to eat along the way. I cant recommend him highly enough.

          Friendly & Reliable!
          I had an incredible experience with Mr. Nuwan as our driver in Sri Lanka. His patience, kindness, and reliability stood out throughout my 9-day trip with family. Mr. Nuwan was not only trustworthy and punctual but also incredibly flexible, adapting the itinerary to our preferences seamlessly. His informative insights enhanced our visits to Sigiriya, Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, Ella, Galle, and Negombo. Engaging and fun to talk to, he made the journey enjoyable, providing valuable suggestions for activities. Overall, Mr. Nuwan ensured we had a fantastic time exploring Sri Lanka.

          Best ratee private transportation ever!
          This was so reliable, helpful and extremely convenient. Nuwan made moving around a rather seamless experience. He was always on time, flexible and extremely accommodating in every way. Everything was organized with precision and plans were executed according to my personal needs and ideas on the trip. Traveling was comfortable as the driving was very safe and very informative. My questions were answered with great information and I learned a lot about local culture. I would definitely recommend this service to go anywhere in Sri Lanka. Extremely professional! There is a genuine care for the clients and always a friendly smile.

          Best and Kindest Tour Guide in Sri Lanka
          Everything about the tour with Sam was perfect, the itinerary was filled with different experiences covering different areas of Sri Lanka. Sam was also a great tour companion where he showed professionalism, care, dedication, and a great sense of humor (we had a lot of laughs on road trips!) Touring in Sri Lanka is sensational, but Sam's help, guidance, and presence surely made the trip more fun and put my mind at ease when it came to trip logistics. I was just having fun and he was taking care of the trip details fully.

          This was my second airport transfer with My Tour Lanka and I’d highly recommend them. Really good communication in advance, friendly drivers and safe driving.

          One-week tour round central and southern Sri Lanka
          Nuwan drove me and a friend from Colombo to Kandy Nutella and beyond visiting mountains, te plantations, and then down to Mirissa and round to Bentota and back to Colombo. He was friendly, efficient and good fun to be with us, always going further than he needed to give us a great experience, looking after our luggage, finding shops and other things for us and then finally driving me to the airport. He also knows a lot about Sri Lanka, acting as a guide and commentator on Lankan history, politics and people. Can’t recommend him highly enough.

          Professional
          Last week I used My Tour Lanka twice on the West Coast of Sri Lanka and to be honest I wish I had employed them earlier. Anu always arrived a little early and his car was roomy and he drove cautiously. Nothing was a problem including detours. I am returning in July 2023 and have their no. on my list.

          I cannot recommend this service highly enough. My Tour Lanka are professional and friendly and everything you would hope for when arriving and working in a new country. I would absolutely use them again for all my business and leisure needs. Efficient, great communication and honest, can't fault anything about them.

          Transport from Negombo to Anuradhapura with several stops, save and sound journey, sympathetic service, despite the on-going political and petrol crisis it is safe for tourists to come to Sri Lanka especially if you choose MyTourLanka! Reasonable offers and good price, highly recommended!

          Done a family trip in May 2022 with children. Despite all the things happened in SL. Nuwan our chauffeur made sure our trip was as safe and as comfortable as it can be. Did enjoy the trip and surely will recommend Nuwan to others visiting Sri Lanka. Thank you Nuwan and his mate Sanjaya. 10 out of 10.

          Safe drive
          The driver Sam was recommended to me by a fellow traveller as the best of the island. He agreed on short notice to drive me across the island to the airport through curfew „the morning after“, and I felt safe throughout, passed his number to all remaining travellers immediately. ISTUTI 🕊

          Very professional service. The driver Sam is punctual and friendly, and his car is like new. We had pleasant airport transfers, first to our accommodation in Habarana and a week later arranged pick-up from Galle, feeling in safe hands and perfectly organised. Highly recommended.

        I attempted to book this tour and it was cancelled by the operator five minutes later. I thought there must have been a mistake, as the site was still showing availability for the day I wished to book. I tried to book a second time, and again it was cancelled with no explanation. Unacceptable service.

        I came to Sri Lanka with my boyfriend and another couple. Madu, our driver, was always available and helpful. He was always punctual and ready to give us the best advice or organize for us different activities. Also, Madu was a great driver which is not a detail given Sri Lanka’s traffic. The car was comfortable and in good conditions. I would definitely recommend the service to anyone visiting Sri Lanka.

        We highly recommend this service and would definitely use the company again if we visited Sri Lanka. They made our trips hassle free and were very reasonably priced. We were impressed with how efficient the company were when we contacted them with our customised tour of Sri Lanka via email.

        We Initially had a private chauffeur booked for 4 days for our honeymoon to Sri Lanka. We were provided with an excellent service so we also booked an airport transfer with the company on the 5th day.

        Susa drove us for 3 days and Newan drove us for 2 days. Both drivers were really friendly, kind and helpful. They provided us with information about the local places, had many conversations with us (speaking English). They were always offering to help. We were looked after very well and felt safe and happy with the service they provided.
        The cars were modern, comfortable, spacious and air conditioned. We had some long journeys and these were made relaxing for us (we even managed to sleep on some of the journeys). The traffic can be very busy, the drivers were also calm and careful.

        If we wanted to stop to take a photo somewhere the drivers were happy to accommodate this. They told us lots of interesting facts and have us tips for places that we visited. We sometimes left our luggage in the car when visiting different sites and this was secure.

        Susa took us from Colombo airport to Dambulla on day 1, then Dambulla to Kandy on day 2 where we stopped at Sigiriya, some temples, a spice farm, and a wood crafting shop. Day 3 we went from Kandy to Colombo, stopping at Pinnawala Elephant Orphange (best part of the trip).
        Day 4 Newan drove us on the South Island tour, stopping at a turtle sanctuary, a boat trip and Galle.

        We were very impressed and would book the same tour guides/ chauffeurs and company again in the future.

        Right from initial enquiry, Susa (the owner) was prompt in replying and answering all my queries. We did a Colombo Day Tour with Susa of Blessrilanka and Galle Day Tour with Sudashana. Believed we would have had one driver but Susa's hybrid Toyota Prius has a technical problem and had to be sent to Toyota for diagnosis. Even so, we were always kept informed of who and what time our tours will be and also during and after our tours, Susa always checked to make sure we had no issues.

        We had Nuwan drive us from Negombo to Wilpattu and onward to Anuradhapura. He is a wonderful driver and guide, we had the most wonderful time travelling with him. It is always great when you can converse and get local information from a native.

        As an added service, Susa also purchased our train tickets from Kandy to Nanu Oya and the Nanu Oya back to Colombo - no commissons charged, you just pay what the train tickets cost! Very perceptive of him to pick seats on one side and then the reverse so we get to see best of both worlds - THANK YOU SO MUCH!

        All the drivers/ guides were always on time, professional, happy to stop when we wanted to take a picture. Most of all the cars are in very good condition, clean and drivers are all very careful. I am still amazed by how they manage to drive in the chaos - the lanes markings are for decoration only! Highly recommend Blessrilanka if you need drivers/ guides. They are based in Negombo but can take you anywhere on the island.

        We contacted Blessrilanka (easy taxi Lanka) for a customised tour from Colombo airport to Dambulla, Sigirya, Kandy and then back to Colombo via Pinnawala over three days.

        The pick-up was excellent. The driving and information from Mr Susa was smooth and excellent. The price was brilliant. Overall an excellent and comfortable ride from one place to another. Nothing was too mich of a problem. Couldn't think of a better company to arrange transport. Thank you very much.

        We booked a one-day trip/transfer from Negombo to Anuradhapura with beautiful stops and a lunch along the way.
        Nuwan is a most friendly and careful driver with whom we gaily chatted away time. We liked his discreet and unobstrusive character. He gave us reliable information about the current political crises and a lot of useful advice for a perfect holiday. He made us feel welcome, safe and well cared for at all times. This transfer exceeded our expectations by far.

        Thank you, Nuwan. It was a pleasure to ride with you!
