          2 day trip to national park and the Nine Arch bridge
          Wow - just wow - what an amazing 2 day trip everything was just perfect and the communication between the company and ourselves couldn't have been better, he informed us of everything that we'd be doing and everything we'd need, he picked us up bang on time in a very comfortable vehicle and the overnight hotel he booked for us was very good - we'd give him the highest recommendation and certainly book with him again

          Well organized 2days tour south of Sri Lanka
          Fully recommend the company. A few days ago we spent great 2days mainly on the south of Sri Lanka(Nine Arches bridge,famous train ride, waterfalls,monkeys,safari morning tour,Mirissa,coconut hills,Galle).It was private tour for 6people(4+2kids). Everything well organized,comfortable transport,flexible schedule and nice guide showed us the beautiful landscapes and views which we will have in our memories for a long time.

          Beautiful experience
          Sri Lankans are generally open and friendly. Among them, Dilan, the owner of Jayasak Tours and a guide, stands out for his heart, kindness and caring. We always felt safe and comfortable with him. We had the opportunity to discover less obvious places, in addition to tourist attractions. Always on time and with a smile, patient, caring, flexible and with great knowledge of his beautiful country.

          Fantastic experience in Sri Lanka!
          We (an Austrian-Italian couple) did a full two-week tour around Sri Lanka with Dilan/ Jayasak Tours and it was truly amazing! We had a total drive of 1.800 km and visited 8 of 9 Provinces with all the major attractions/sights (for example Dambulla caves, Yala safari, Ella, tea plantations, Sigiriya, Kandy festival, Galle fort, etc.). Dilan is a wonderful guide and a very good driver; always calm and forward-looking. He has a huge knowledge about the culture and the history of Sri Lanka knowing all important facts. Further, he is very pro-active, giving a lot of good suggestions, and it is always possible to also adapt the program, which he drafted for us in advanced according to our individual preferences, booking also all of our hotels. The used vehicle is a very comfortable and clean van with AC. We highly recommend booking a tour with Dilan, you will not regret it! Sri Lanka is a wonderful place and visiting it -relaxed- with Jayasak Tours makes it even better!

          Amazing experience
          Don’t think twice, just BOOK THE TOUR! I had the opportunity to take a day trip with this tour to Ella and Udawalawe, and the itinerary was as follows: - First, we drove to Ella. - Visited Ravana Waterfall. - Took a train ride from Hali to Ella. - Visited the Nine Arch Bridge. - Climbed Little Adam’s Peak. - Went on a Jeep safari at Udawalawe National Park. - Visited the Elephant Transit Home in Udawalawe. Our guide, Dilan, was amazing. Whenever we wanted to stop, he accommodated us and shared fun facts about interesting things we encountered (on EVERY topic!). The car had good air conditioning, and Dilan was not only a great driver but also a great person. Conversing with him was a pleasure as he has so much knowledge about Sri Lanka. Dilan was always checking to make sure everything was okay and ensuring that we got good prices for everything we purchased from shops. It was very helpful to know that you could order something with confidence because Dilan was there to ensure everything was fine, especially when someone didn't speak English. Contacting the agency was very easy via WhatsApp. Everything was clear, and if we had any questions, they were explained very well. If you're worried about waking up at 3 am, let me assure you, it is WORTH IT. When the sun comes up, you find yourself in truly beautiful places where you really appreciate the moment. I know they also offer multi-day tours, so if you’re interested in that kind of travel, you should definitely contact them. Or, if you just want to have one very high-quality day, you HAVE TO reach out to them. Most other travel agencies were pushing us to take a 2-day tour (which we didn’t want; we were only interested in a one-day tour), but after contacting Jayasaktours, everything was easy. We told them what we wanted, and we got more than we expected at a GREAT PRICE. We were fully satisfied with the tour—it exceeded our expectations.

          The BEST family friendly guide 👌🏻
          Our fantastic guide Dilan at Jayasak Tours… Dilan was the perfect person to tailor make our perfect itinerary as a family of four in Sri Lanka. He is quick to communicate and offer advice, full of fantastic facts and knowledge about his spectacular country, trustworthy, polite, punctual, welcoming and so much more. We spent many days with Dilan and built a fantastic relationship, we explored much of Sri Lanka some of our highlights being: Galle, bentota river cruise, swimming with turtles in hikkaduwa, turtle hatchery, Sinharaja rainforest, Pinnawala elephant orphanage, Sigirya Rock, Yala. Dilan made of trip so memorable and we will miss him dearly, we will be back sometime soon! Thank you again for everything.

          Ella Day Tour
          We (two couples) went for a day tour including the whole list offered, as follows: Ravana Waterfall, Train Tour (Hali Ela to Ella), Little Adam's Peak, Nine Arch Bridge, Tea Plantation. We had been collected from our hotel on time, AC car was comfy, our guide and our driver were fully competent in their matters. We had a great time and we are already looking for our next trip together to Sigiriya and Dambulla soon.

          The best tour guide on Sri Lanka. Highly recommended!
          The best tour guide on Sri Lanka! Very friendly and kind (when I was sick Dilan became a doctor and gave me local medicines - which eventually helped me a lot 😁) with a very good English. We were on three different trips and each of those was an amazing experience. Thank you! * what is more important, Dilan is a very good driver so you can feel totally comfortable and safe ❤️

          Dilan is really a super guide! During our tours, he shared a lot of interesting information about the island and showed us not only the planned attractions but also places with good food. Dilan made sure we felt comfortable and safe. We travelled in a group of 4 and we all have only positive memories from this trip! Highly recommended!

          The best Sri Lanka experience ever!
          We had wonderful tours with Dilan Danushka from Kalutara - he showed us the beauty of Sri Lanka and told us a lot about his country, its history and local customs. We felt extremely comfortable and at ease with our guide, and the tours were organized with attention to detail and our comfort. We were in Yala park, in Udawalawe transit home for elephants, in Ella. Without our guide, we would not have had the opportunity to experience all these places in such a pleasant way. I heartily recommend Jayasak tours to anyone visiting this beautiful country :)

          Must see national park, elephants, crocs, etc!
          Very early start and late finish - but Dilan was the best driver to have on a long drive - very careful and if you have never been on the roads of Sri Lanka before trust me - you need a very *careful* driver :-) Dilan picked us up from our hotel at 03.30 in the AM because the best time to go see animals in the wild is when they wake up so guess what - you have to wake up earlier than them in order to be there to watch them. So we climb in the lovely AC minivan and off we go - we arrive 3hrs later so around 06.30 just in time for a magnificent sunrise and the air was super fresh as the humidity had yet to really build up. We jumped into the jeeps and literally from the moment we rolled into the park there were Elephants, storks, big crocs, bee eaters, Eagles - all manner of beast and foul - really enjoyable tour good to see animals in their natural environment and not being hunted or paraded for tourists- you must get there early - the animals don’t do schedules or show - if you see an elephant (or five or six) then your lucky but we saw lots. We had a great guide as well as a driver and we tipped both 5,000 LKRs as their insight and knowledge were invaluable in spotting the animals (ironically not as easy as you would think - elephants move almost silently) lovely day, great experience - Dilan was amazing and his organisation fantastic - five stars!

          Fantastic Guide and Trip
          I had a very short notice small window for a trip to Sri Lanka and Dilan was fantastic at communication and sorting an Itinerary for me. Fitting in all my must do's, advising me on some that weren't suitable for the time of year and suggesting things he thought I might enjoy to ensure I got to make the most of my time in country. His van is extremely comfortable, great air con (essential) and reclining seats to relax in. Roads are not the best in Sri Lanka but Dilan is an expert driver who drives always with safety and care in mind. I was a female solo traveler and Dilan made sure I felt safe and comfortable at all times as well as ensuring I had a fantastic time in Sri Lanka. I can not recommended him highly enough, it was a fantastic trip and I would not have done anywhere near the amount of things I did had I not hired Dilan for my entire 4 day trip..

        We had a great time with Dilan on our Galle Day Tour today, it was my friends birthday so he decorated the riverboat with balloons, had a cake and flowers for her and we went on our tour. We saw lots of different animals - how they can spot them from such a distance is incredible as we certainly hadn’t spotted them!

        We then went to the Turtle Conservation Project where we had the most surreal time with the turtles taking in the history, culture and work that this centre does. We then went to the tsunami memorial before moving on to Galle itself - a fantastic day and a fantastic guide

        We took part in two excursions. Udawalawe + rain forest and Sigirya + Buddha Relic Tooth Relic Temple + tea factory + tea plantation. Dilan is a very warm, honest, tactful and wise guy.His organising of the trips are perfect. Hotels for a night are placed in a peaceful places. You can regenerate there before the next day of the trip. When we came to destitanotion place we never had to wait for a guide. The guide was waiting for us ! The guides in our meagre opinion were always best of the best. They had really a wide knowledge of the subject, could answer our all questions and were nice people.With clear consience we could give them tips. Dilans car is very comfortable, equipped with an air conditioning. Additionaly, Dilan is a very quiet and sensible driver. It is very important in Sri Lanka a little bit chaotic traffic... We can recommend Jayasak Tours to all.

        The tours with Dilan were great. He took his time and showed me everything I wanted to see on the trip. Dilan flexibly adapted the tour to my interests. He told me about the country, history, people and local customs in great detail and with great excitement. It was great to learn so much about this fascinating country.
        Dilan is also a very attentive and safe driver through the organized chaotic traffic.
        As a woman traveling alone, I also felt safe and comfortable at all times.
        I can only warmly recommend Dilan as a guide and Jayasak Tours. It was a great time with great experiences and I hope to be able to start more tours with Dilan next year.

        Without doubt one of the favourite city in Sri Lanka.

        Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by the team, our names were mentioned on the board and we felt welcomed and with such a friendly atmosphere we had a fantastic start!
        The guide and tour was extremely good, very flexible (appreciate this!) and for that they deserves a special thanks. We had a great day there, which obviously also added up to the experience.

        Many thanks again and I highly recommend to anyone whoever planing to travel Sri Lanka!

        At the beginning of the year I went to Sri Lanka with my husband and one friend. We found Dilan here on Trip Advisor, and booked the Galle Day Tour with a few changes, adding some other places that we wanted to visit. Dilan was very helpful on setting up a tour that would suit us. We enjoyed so much, that we went out for another tour on the next day, to visit some other places that we saw on the internet. He also dropped us off at the airport on our way back.
        He really knows the places and its history. The car is comfortable and he drives safe. He is very kind, polite and reliable.
        I really recommend this tour.

        Jayasak/ Dilan knows the whole island and knows what to see and where to eat and live. They can also pick up and deliver you at the airport .
        Our tour to Ella , Nuwara Eliya, Kandy and Colombo was a Very Nice experience for us with Comfortable car and good hotels and tickets for the train from Ella to Nuwara Eliya. Dilan made our tour perfect. He has a lot of knowledge and is also a very good driver, is calm and comfortable .
        We certainly can recommend Jayasak for your next tour to Sri Lanka.

        Dilan was an exceptional and knowledgeable guide on our two tours with him in Sr Lanka. We did the Galle Boat tour on the River Bentota which took us into the Mangroves where we saw Crocs, Snakes, Komodo Dragons and lots of other wildlife native to Sri Lanka. After the boat tour in the Mangroves we headed off to a Sea Turtle Sanctuary - which we researched before we went as honestly not sure how we feel about animal tourism - but these guys were very warm and welcoming and took us through how they encourage poachers to either bring them the Turtle eggs or pay them to leave them alone. We saw new hatchet tortoises and a couple of albino ones who would not survive in the wild - decent conservation effort and high standards. All in all great tour - five stars!
