Absolut Lanka Tours - I booked on the internet a car for 7 days in advance with a driver. the administration was professional and the price was resonable. at the airport, Mahén, the driver was waiting for us. He was a excellent driver in the chaotic traffic. He was always accurate and flexible, and kept the car clean day for day. Mahen helped us with many tips with our programs. we are very pleased to recommend either the Absolut and Mahén personally to anyone looking for the ideal provider.

Having chalked out a week's itinerary of sorts in terms of making our holidays something to remember by, sent out this to a few travel operators in Sri Lanka. The idea was to mix spiritualism with fun and so it was to be Mythology, temples of the Hindu and Buddhist kind, Mountains, Beaches, Waterfalls, Elephants and Animal Farms, UNESCO heritage sites etc. Even though they were not the cheapest, set about finalizing my trip with the Absolute Team as I found them to be pretty quick on their responses and the reviews I had read about them were also good. So it began - our trip from the 10th to the 16th with a last minute change of driver from Ravi to Udara and the team being accomodative on accepting my request of a slight delay in start as we reached in the wee hours of 10th morning. Udara it was to be our friendly guide over the next 6 days. Am not sure if his name by any chance means patience but he turned out to be an epitome of patience. Ever smiling, he took us and stopped by at all the places we had listed out without any murmurs though there were places which were very tough to climb in his Nissan Caravan. Enroute, he stopped by at all the right restaurants where we managed something palatable including places where he discovered Indian food for us. While I had made my own itinerary, he was pretty knowledgeable on the places to visit and scheduled our visits without any glitch and was always punctual. Thank you team Absolute for the wonderful time we had at Sri Lankan and a special mention of thanks to your driver Udara.

I found Lanka Tours on google and initiated a conversation with Aruna who is the manager. We were a group of 6 travelling from Toronto to Sri Lanka for 10 days. Aruna was very helpful and quick in giving us an exact quote and sent me an email with the confirmation and answered all of our questions. Upon Arrival, we had met with Tharaka (our driver) who held a sign upon arrival which meant it was very easy to locate him. He was very helpful in helping us buy our sim cards at the airport. The van was very clean and it was able to accomodate all of our luggages and the 6 of us. On our 10 day tour, Tharaka was an amazing driver, was very accomodating to our needs (ie. Stopped for washroom breaks, buy snacks etc) and also was our mini tour guide. He gave us the history behind certain attractions we visited and was very well knowledged on the roads. I would highly recommened Aruna and Tharaka for all your tour needs in Sri Lanka. 5 stars *****

A group of 6 of us had the pleasure of meeting/ being driven around by Tharaka on a 12 day tour around Sri Lanka. Tharaka was the best decision we made!! He knew his directions and had to barely look at the GPS. He also acted as our tour guide and pointed out and explained every monumental structure, place, city etc that we passed by. As with any large groups we all had different needs, whether it was stopping to use the washroom every 2hrs or stopping by the side of the streets to buy fresh fruits. Tharaka was more than accommodating to our requests and always found us the best spots!! He also had an extensive list of great food spots! Word of advise- go with Tharaka’s recommendations when it comes to restaurants, safaris etc. You will never be disappointed!

Excellent tour organized for us by Absolute Lanka Tours. We were met at our hotel in Negombo by our driver AJ, and our tour representative from ALT. We then embarked on a three day trip of Sigiriya, Kandy and Nuwara Eliya. AJ was very knowledgeable about Sri Lanka and a truly great driver negotiating the tight roads and many obstacles that was thrown his way. If you are planning on going on a trip to the Golden triangle we can highly recommend staying at the Aliyah Resort in Sigiriya which was breathtakingly beautiful and serene, and The Grand Hotel in Nuwara Eliya which was truly spectacular in its own right. Very majestic, traditional hotel with beautiful decor, gardens and staff that were beyond hospitable. Also stop at the golf course in Nurawa Eliya for some light refreshments if you’re at a loss of what to do.

I was afraid the level of service in Sri Lanka would be affected by this unfortunate pandemic situation but Aruna and Absolute Lanka Tours have proved me wrong.
Everything was top notch, starting with preliminary communications to the drop off at the airport.
Aruna has organized an absolutely amazing road trip for our family within the Bio Bubble created by the government for international tourists. He was quick, efficient and very reliable. He guided us through the new process of government approvals and submitted all the documents on our behalf.
Our driver/ guide - Tharaka, was very punctual, always available, knowledgeable about the country and happy to help if we needed any.
All the hotels and authorities have been notified of our arrivals in advance, all the documents have been submitted on time, all the PCR tests have been followed up.
Honestly, I can' thank them enough.
They managed to make this an unforgettable experience.
They are now the only agency I want to deal with the we decide to go back to Sri Lanka.

We booked a car with a driver with Absolute Lanka Tours for our trip to Sri Lanka. We were very pleased with the services provided by Absolute Lanka Tours.
First the Manager of the company promptly answered in a friendly and efficiently any questions before our trip and we paid exactly the price quoted by the company.
Secondly the driver,Rajith, was always punctual, cheerful and safely driving us all around beautiful Sri Lanka. He even booked for us train tickets from Kandy to the tea region and had great recommendations. The car was new, clean and comfortable. We happily can recommend this company for touring in Sri Lanka and would definitely take them again if we return to Sri Lanka.
Tourists in Sri Lanka are not subject to any restrictions or shortage such as petrol or electricity.

Great service - incredibly flexible and made you feel safe and secure during these trying times
We originally reached out to Arun to help plan a 12 day custom itinerary - he was super responsive and accomodating but also suggested new ideas I didn’t think of or pushed back if my list of items was too much for short period. Unfortunately, due to the rise in cases, we need to cut our trip last minute. He really helped take care of us when we went from a 12 day to 4 day including scheduling pcr tests, scrambling to find a safe and secure hotel and even coming into the office on Sunday to sort it out as we didn’t have WiFi at camp
Ravi, our guide/driver is very personable and loves to share his love for Sri Lanka with you. Open to all questions about life, culture and history - he made an otherwise boring 2 hour transfer feel like part of our trip! He also was super accommodating with our changing plans as we were hesitant to do some items with the rapidly changing COVID situation. He went above and beyond to answe our questions, and schedule a Buddhist lecture and meditation session
Thank you both for taking care of us these last few days !
Highly recommend!

We travelled with Ravi for 9 days in December. Christene and Aruna were very attentive via email during the initial planning phase and during our entire stay.
Ravi was very professional as a guide, always punctual and early on all occasions, the car was always spotless when he picked us up every day and he was very adaptive to any proposed changes to the tour with good time estimates on travel time. Ravi has such a warm personality, answering questions on the fly. He was also very attentive to our needs - when we lost our mobile wifi, he found a place where we could purchase one at a reasonable price.
Ravi took initiative to ensure we always had enough water, checking on us frequently and ensuring that we had the best experience by tailoring the tour to our needs. He was knowledgeable about the history of various attractions we visited and the entire tour was executed very smoothly. He also takes wonderful pictures and I include one of the best photos he took for us. I would highly recommend Absolute Lanka Tours and Ravi as a guide for anyone considering a tour to Sri Lanka in future.

We hired a Car with Driver from Absolute Lanka Tours for 7-day trip starting from airport pick to Colombo, then to Bentota, Unawatuna, Mirissa, Yala and back to Colombo. To be honest, we had a little doubt while booking because the deal was too good compared to other service providers in Sri Lanka and also we were worried if we end up with a difficult driver because that would have spoiled our vacation completely. But since the start from airport pick up, Aruna and Tharanga waiting for us with warm welcome, everything went smooth and we felt very safe and comfortable with our driver, Tharanga, who by the way is the most helpful and smart guy. He not only drove us around and to places, he suggested so many things to do and guided us to get the best deals with activities like Scuba diving, whale watching, Yala safari with the best deal. He tells you the stories of Srilanka as we drive down the beautiful Coastal roads and always always reminds us not to overpay or where to buy souvenirs and gems in order not to get ripped off. But over all Srilankans are very friendly and loving people and they don't crowd you or bother you except a little bit odd in Mirissa I found personally, I may be wrong. We will definitely come back to explore the other parts of Srilanka and Absolute Lanka Tours will be our go-to guide and travel assistant. Thank you Aruna and Tharanga for making our vacation a smooth and very memorable one.
