- Julia M1 contributionTruly recommend Avotas ToursI honestly recommend Avotas Tours! My contact with them from the beginning til the end was excellent. They arranged everything we needed according to our expectations. Through our stay they were asking us all the time if everything was ok and when we had a flat tire helped us right away. The car was in a good condition and the people working there were very friendly and helpful. If I have a chance I will rent a car from this company without any hesitations.Visited February 2024Traveled with familyWritten February 20, 2024
- Roving339578456221 contributionWonderful chauffeur driven experience in Sri Lanka.We visited Sri Lanka from the 10th to the 29th of February. We had booked Transportation with Driver online with Avotas Tours based on a recommendation. The booking experience was efficient and the vehicle provided was tailored to our needs. The Driver young Hasitha was there at the Airport to meet us. Hasitha was courteous and attentive to our needs and became a member of our family during our tour. We found him to be a very competent driver. He worked late when required and was always on time when we started our day. Thank you Hasitha for contributing towards making our holiday in Sri Lanka a wonderful experience and a great memory.Visited February 2024Traveled with familyWritten March 2, 2024
- HiroheroHong Kong, China13 contributions"No Problem" Edward (part 2)Back to Sri Lanka after 7 years and back with Avotas and Edward for who every request No matter how small or large, is " No problem". This time spend longer allowing for mix of historic, cultural, leisure and active activities. Everything is as promised, even the leopard turned up in Yala National Park( this is NOT a given!!?). If you want a carefree holiday filled with experience and moments of wonder, then we highly recommend Edward and Avotas, they delivered....and if you want to tweak your day activities, dining option, more shopping/less shopping etc, it will be No Problem for Edward to accommodate. He treats you like an honoured guest to his country and he wants you to have the best experience possible. Next time we can be more selective about what we do here and it won't be another seven years!Visited March 2024Traveled with familyWritten March 5, 2024
- Travel5412282 contributionsA+ for AvotasWe had a fabulous time during our stay in Sri Lanka. Avotas Tours was great. They put together the trip, just how we liked it. We got to see everything from palace ruins and temples to learning about how tea leaves are processed or swimming and relaxing on a gorgeous beach. We enjoyed great hiking and a most picturesque train ride through tea plantations. Our driver who was with us for the entire time, Mr. Chaminda, was not only an excellent driver but also took great care of our kids and grandparents, making sure everyone was comfortable and safe. Mr. Chaminda was a wealth of information, sharing Sri Lanka's history and culture with us. We originally reached out to four tour companies and Avotas was the most responsive as well as the most value for money. Thank you to Avotas Tours for an unforgettable experience.Visited March 2024Traveled with familyWritten March 13, 2024
- ElleBArch28 contributionsHighly recommend Avota Tours for touring Sri Lanka!I lived in Sri Lanka for nearly 3 years and I used Avotas tours for all of my trips! They were on time and reliable and the drivers were always courteous and respectful. They went out of their way to take me to my excursions- even going on a couple of hikes with me 🙂. They also were reasonably priced and had reliable vehicles. Highly recommend Avota tours for short trips and longer vacations in Sri Lanka.Visited March 2024Traveled with friendsWritten April 2, 2024
- Prasanna R4 contributionsExcellent Rent-a-Car ServiceI have been renting out their vehicles whenever I visit Sri Lanka, and I must say that Avotas Tours consistently delivers exceptional service. Their vehicles are well maintained and safe to drive. Unlike other big rental companies in Sri Lanka, Avotas Tours stands out with their resilient and professional service. Their team is responsive, courteous, and always ready to assist. Avotas Tours promptly returns your deposit in full as soon as you hand over the car. No unnecessary delays, paperwork or hassles like other big companies in Sri Lanka. If you decide to rent any of their vehicles, rest assured—the vehicle will be waiting for you when you step out of the airport with a friendly ‘Subash’. Overall, Avotas Tours provides a seamless and stress-free car rental experience. I’ll definitely be renting from them every time I visit Sri Lanka. I have been renting from them for more than fifteen times, never had a single issue! Highly recommended for and trustworthy partner for your travel needs in Sri Lanka.Visited April 2024Traveled with familyWritten April 6, 2024

- NelstinoPort Sorell, Australia5 contributionsBest driver In Sri Lanka! 🇱🇰Edward is a very funny and sociable person as well as an incredible driver. We traveled with him for 5 days and he told us about the culture and history of this beautiful country Sri Lanka. He was very patient with us and would provide us with umbrellas when it rained at a pickup. If you need a driver that will take you across the island Edward is the best! Thanks to him I have seen many great places and have taken many amazing photos. PS. his cat impression is spot on. 😁Visited June 2024Traveled with friendsWritten June 27, 2024

We're from UK. My family was on vacation for a month in Sri Lanka and we rented from Avotas Tours. The vehicle was delivered to doorstep and picked up. Mr. Harshaka maintained prompt communication and a professional service. He shared information about the vehicles including photographs on whatsapp helping us to make a quick decision on the make and model. Mr. Botheju was extremely helpful in dropping off and picking up the vehicle, and doing all the paperwork. The effort we had to put in as the customer was minimal. The whole process was seamless. During the middle of the contract I requested an upgrade for a larger vehicle for an additional fee which was promptly carried out within a day. The quality of the vehicles was very satisfactory, and was an exact match to the photographs shared. Overall, I would very highly recommend Avotas for hassle free, peace of mind vacation in Sri Lanka. No cheating, no hidden charges, or misleading the customer. I am very glad to give 5 stars.

We had a fantastic experience with the car rental service in Sri Lanka. The staff was exceptionally helpful, especially in assisting us with adapting to driving on the left side of the road. We received a Honda Vezel with an automatic transmission, which made navigating the country's roads much more comfortable.
The company arranged Sri Lankan driving licenses for us, a great convenience that added to our overall comfort during the journey. The rental price was competitive, making this choice even more appealing.
An added bonus was the option to pick up and return the car at the airport, significantly simplifying the logistics of our 14-day trip. Overall, I highly recommend this rental service for those planning to explore the beauty of Sri Lanka comfortably and safely.

To start with the result: We can highly recommend Avotas Tours as a partner for your Sri Lanka stay. We became aware of Avotas Tours through a recommendation from friends who frequently visit Sri Lanka. Everything they told us beforehand, we experienced consistently, such as high reliability, safety first, deep knowledge of the country as well as great partner connections. All of these things made our stay exceptional. We traveled as a family of five on a two-week trip. The trip was coordinated in advance between us and Avotas Tours, with great recommendations ranging from temple visits, city tours, safaris, etc. Upon arriving in Sri Lanka, we were warmly welcomed at the airport. Our chauffeur helped us to change money, to get us local SIM cards, and finally took us safely to our first hotel. He was always by our side when we checked into the hotel until everything was settled. That alone saved us a lot of stress. During our stays or transits, our tour was spontaneously enriched by stops to catch fresh food or go to a restaurant. Also, some extra stops were organized, like visiting a herb farm or a very special small but nice gemstone manufactory. In all cases, if spontaneous or planned, for all visits private guides were organized, which nicely explained everything. We would like to add that not only our chauffeur did his best to organize everything smoothly, but also the management of Avotas Tours. They kept in touch with us to check our satisfaction. And we can only say that everything was very well organized and well done for us as a family. At the end of our two-week trip we had to leave. And we can say that we came as strangers and left as friends. We especially thank Mr. Harshaka and Mr. Chaminda.

My wife & I just spent a month in Sri Lanka, travelling half that time with a car and driver supplied by Avotas Tours. Earlier in the Summer, we worked with the Managing Director of Avotas to plan an itinerary and he developed a really excellent tour which covered all of the sights and activities we were interested in. I cannot speak highly enough about the services provided by Avotas; especially our driver/guide Chaminda. He had contacts all across Sr Lanka and made sure that everything went according to plan -- our trip was truly outstanding due to his efforts. I would have no hesitation in recommending Avotas to visitors, they are really, really good!

Our two-month stay in Sri Lanka was made exceptional by the incredible service provided by Avotas Tours. Not only did they offer us the best rates for our car rental, but their service was also top-notch. The staff's politeness and willingness to assist us with any queries or concerns truly stood out. We had a seamless experience from start to finish, and their contribution played a significant role in making our stay memorable. We highly recommend Avotas Tours to anyone looking for reliable and affordable car rental services in Colombo.

Our trip with Avotas Tours was excellent. From building out our custom itinerary, to the airport pickup and 10 day drive around the island, the Avotas team was professional and caring. Our driver, Mr Chaminda was always on time, drove carefully and safely, while serving as a guide and friend. We highly recommend Avotas and Mr. Chaminda.

Edward is beyond incredible!! He made my weekend trip to Sigiriya rock and Minneriya national park truly unforgettable. Not only was he punctual, a safe and great driver, he made sure I had the best time and tailored the experience to my interests. Edward went out of his way for me to try delicious Sri Lanka food along the drive from Colombo to Habarana and he knew exactly where to go and what to see. You could tell he truly wanted you to enjoy the trip and share all of the wonderful things along the way. Not only that, Edward was hilarious. He was just a consummate professional and as a solo female traveler, I felt 100% safe, which was really important to me. I wish I could go back asap and plan my next trip with them!!

Edward was a great tour guide/driver. He knew lots about sri lanka and the cities we visited. He was always on time to meet us. Most importantly I felt very safe with his driving skills. It was raining the first part of the trip and we were frequently on muddy back country roads and he clearly handled the car with expertise.

Mr. Edward uncle, you are a very kind, friendly guide. You understood our needs well and supported us in all our work. I feel that you have done more than just being a driver. The service provided by you from 03.11.2022 to 06.11.2022 is remembered with great respect. Our journey took place in Ampara, Monaragala, and Sewanagala. The service you have done is amazing, relieving the fatigue of the day, providing funny jokes, and providing valuable advice for our lives. Also, your Avotas tours provide a very comfortable and safe service and I recommend your service to anyone else. Definitely looking forward to your service again one day. Good luck uncle!

We recently travelled to Sri Lanka and hired a car for the entire duration of the trip. We got a good deal on the price and a comfortable sedan. Avotas also helped us with booking the whale watching and Ella Odyssey tickets from Ella to Nanu Oya. Harshaka is always online on whatsapp so the responses are very prompt, which provides a great experience to customers.
The trip became all the more special because of our chauffer, Alex who is a brialliant companion to have on a trip. He was extremely responsible and professional and went out of his way to ensure we had a good time. We would highly recommend Avotas and Alex for all future trips to this wonderful island nation.
