This was my first trip to Sri Lanka, and I couldn't be happier have had the Awesome Adventure with Dilhan!
Dilhan helped me plan my itinerary pre-trip, and suggested places based on my preferences. He was flexible, accommodating, knowledgeable and gave good advice and tips. He is well connected with people across the country, and can tell you which activities and sites are tourist traps and which ones are worth seeing.
On the road, Dilhan is a very careful and safe driver. He gauges the road conditions well and gives realistic trip duration estimates.
I highly recommend exploring Sri Lanka with Dilhan's Awesome Adventures!
Tip: Bring hat and sunscreen. Sri Lanka is a hot and humid tropical country and I didn't see many places selling sunscreen.

My friend and I arranged a day tour with Dilhan. He gave us a real feel for Columbo, we visited a market, some temples and had an authentic Sri Lankan curry lunch . Dilhan accommodated our wish to purchase spices and tea and to experience a short tuk tuk drive as well as a short train trip . He is a knowledgeable guide and explained the Buddhist temple to us and purchased flowers for us to leave as an offering. Dilhan is very organized and pick up and drop off from out cruise ship was easy. I highly recommend and adventure with Dilhan.

Dilhan was my driver for three days in October 2023. He picked me up in Weligama and drove me to Sigiriya and then to Kandy. In addition to driving me, he also accompanied me to hike Sigiriya rock and Pidarangula rock. We also visited a spice garden, dambulla cave temple, temple of the tooth and the botanical gardens together. As a solo female traveller, Dilhan went above and beyond to make sure I felt safe at all times and to make my experience as hassle free as possible. Dilhan provided lots of helpful information about everywhere we visited and had excellent recommendations for hotels and restaurants. Dilhan also continued to assist me throughout the rest of my time in Sri Lanka, making sure I was happy and checking if I needed help booking any other activities or transport. I cannot recommend Dilhan enough for any transport or your needs during your time in Sri Lanka, I am so grateful for the help and kindness he showed me throughout my trip.

Travelling with a friend and we had Sujeeva from Dilhans tour as our guide. Sujeeva was pleasant and friendly, courteous, punctual and an informative guide. My friend and I couldn't have asked for a better guide. He ferried us around Sri Lanka according to our own itinerary and where he knows the people and places, he would recommend to us. Thank you Sujeeva for looking after us!

We spent 2 weeks on a traveling trip in sri lanka, accompanied by dilhans.
Leaving aside the beauty of the island, I would like to focus on describing the ultra positive experience we had with our driver; we felt very good and comfortable from the first hours by car. He was always punctual, precise, organized and above all very prepared. He always showed us restaurants where to go and those to avoid; as well as more or less touristic experiences. Overall we were very happy and satisfied by this experience and especially by our Guide/driver who we will recommend to anyone who will go to this beautiful island.

What a great guy and what a fantastic holiday he gave us! My husband and I went to Sri Lanka with another couple for 2 weeks. From start to finish Dilhan looked after us without being intrusive. Showing us around his beautiful country he went out of his way to make the experience an absolute joy. He booked our hotels, organised guides, gave us advise on what to do and what see. He even arranged for my kindle to be sent back to the UK after leaving it in a hotel! We came away feeling we had seen the ‘real’ side of Sri Lanka.

Dilhan is an amazing driver/ tour guide ( and now friend!) we had the best 12 days with him. He is very knowledgeable, kind and attentive. Nothing was ever too much for Dilhan and if we wanted to add stops or change anything last minute, he was always on hand to help and suggest places, without being pushy or sales like.
He was always on time and easy to communicate with, he even came to pick us up late at night and was very supportive when we said we felt unsafe somewhere.
We really felt like we were travelling with a close friend. He was always enthusiastic and happy to see us and kept us entertained on long car journeys.
We also had the great pleasure of being invited to his home to meet his family for lovely meal, which was a real highlight of our trip.
We would definitely recommend booking with Dilhan to anyone, it is the best way to get around Sri Lanka and also learn so much about the beautiful country!
Thank you so much Dilhan for making our trip so memorable. It really would not have been the same without you. We miss you already!!

I found Dilhan Tours by chance via the internet and from the first contact the impression was positive. When we arrived our driver was Sujeeva, a person who did not disappoint our expectations, indeed he was immediately very professional, kind, punctual, attentive to our needs. We spent 12 wonderful days with him. He also proved to be an excellent Guide, often accompanied us on excursions, advising and taking care of us. Impeccable in Guide. Really a beautiful person, the last day we had the pleasure of also meeting his beautiful family. Dilhan even though he didn't make the trip with us, he worried that everything was going well, and one day we had the pleasure of meeting him too. About Sujeeva more than driver today I would call him a friend who made our trip unforgettable. Super recommended agency. Next trip to Sri Lanka to get to know the north and east.

As most of us around the world are under ‘stay at home’ orders, it has created time for gratitude and reflection on the beautiful world we now miss so much. Last year, we traveled to Sri Lanka and spent 10 days with Dilhan Suraweera and Dilhan’s Awesome Adventures. We visited every major place of interest as well as many places on many roads less traveled. The experience we had in Sri Lanka was life changing. We came home different people. The locals are warm and gracious. The food is some of the best I’ve ever had. The accommodations where we stayed were clean and authentic, and more importantly, run by proud owners who wanted your happiness more than anything in the world. We were treated like Royalty and Family at the same time. My husband and I have been world travelers for almost 25 years and this was our favorite trip. We want to go back. SOON. Please do not let this terrible virus make you afraid to travel to places far away. Take precautions naturally, but go! Life is short. At the end of the line, you will only regret the things you didn’t do. If you go to Sri Lanka, I cannot recommend Dilhan Suraweera and his organization highly enough. They were fantastic. Thank you for a wonderful memory!
