    Incredible Tour and Guide
    Wife and I had an incredible time exploring Sri Lanka on our honeymoon with Ramesh ! We took a ten day tour with Royal Island Tours in early April, seeing Sigiriya, Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, Ella, Yalla, Mirissa and Galle (and absolutely everything in between). From the get-go, Ramesh was an insightful and very professional guide, showing us the best of what Sri Lanka has to offer with a personalised itinerary, while remaining flexible with us from start to finish. His transport is both incredibly comfortable and safe. No request was a chore for him and he always kept things fun and light hearted between each stop ! But what stood out the most for us most was his diligence: Ramesh stayed in touch with us well after our tour finished to ensure everything was going to plan, and always offered to help us with future bookings (transfers, tours, restaurants, etc.). This was a huge help, and unexpected. I would highly recommend a private tour for Sri Lanka and would definitely look no further than Royal Island tours. Many thanks again Ramesh !

    Group trip around Sri Lanka
    Amazing trip to Sri Lanka with this company. We went a group of 8 people and spent 10 days over there, trip around the island. The trip was organized perfectly. We had driver full time and at our convenience. Fair price. You can contact them only for driver or to organize your trip around Sri Lanka with hotels and all activities scheduled. I would always recommend them, mostly Rama , he is the best.

My wife and I spent 6 days touring Sri Lanka with Ramesh as our tour guide. From the get go he made us feel super comfortable, always smiling and available. Ramesh had great insights and was able to recommend super nice activities where his local knowledge made a huge difference. He went above and beyond for us. It was truly an amazing experience. I cannot recommend Ramesh more to anyone visiting Sri Lanka.

Ramesh is a superstar who exceeded our expectations. My partner and I just spent 10 amazing days in Sri Lanka, travelling all around the country. Ramesh helped us with our itinerary by suggesting alterations to maximize our time, and stayed in contact with us to answer any questions prior to the trip to ensure our trust and understanding. Once we arrived, he provided a very comfortable van for all the driving, and was always so considerate in checking if we were okay, if we needed to stop for anything, if we were hungry, thirsty, or even to suggest places for a quick coffee or snack (which were always really good suggestions.)
He took a load off our shoulders by booking activities for us and even helping us to find a new hotel when we weren’t content with the one we had previously booked. He also helped us when we bought items from a spice market that we needed to return; he called for us and organized the transaction so we wouldn’t have to lift a finger. He was ALWAYS prepared to help out if plans would change last minute and would check on us to make sure we were happy with what we were doing. Aside from all this, he’s funny, chill and so easy to talk to!

11/10 for this tour. I can’t recommend him enough. It’s the personal touch that really makes the trip, and Ramesh goes above and beyond to deliver that. Thank you my friend - we can’t wait to visit again soon!

Me and my boyfriend had the best trip ever with Royals Island tour. Ramesh is absolutely the best guide you can have, he helped us with EVERYTHING, he knows so many things about local things and he is always willing to bring you anywhere you want. Thanks to him we were able to see many places that couldn't have been possible to visit without.
He is honestly amazing, you can feel from the first minute that he loves his job and he tries everything to make your journey perfect.
We absolutely recommend him, he is the best. ❤️

Within my short trip I aimed to see as much as possible of Sri Lanka and I couldn’t achieve it without Ramesh who took me around and suggested the best possible routes for my itinerary. Ramesh was reliable, professional with perfect English and a lots of knowledge about his beautiful evergreen country. I had truly great time. Highlight of this trip for me was the lunch in the local village which was our first stop, the food was absolutely delicious.

We had Ramesh as our driver during our beautiful 3 week vaccation in Sri Lanka. Ramesh was very helpful and not only is he an excellent driver he also worked as our tour guide at cultural and holy places. Took us to very tasty restaurants and we can strongly recommend this energetic driver/ tour guide

We made a friend in 12 days he was never our driver or our guide but a real friend who helped us a lot with our program.
We agreed on a program before going and we did everything plus a lot of thins that ramesh recommended along the way which was great . He is always on time and his van is perfect with ac and smells great. So if you want a young fun guide who will make sure you go anywhere and everywhere you want ramesh is your guy. Just talk to him and he will help you with your program depending on how many days you are going and he will make sure you take advantage on every minute.

What an amazing trip. Everything about Ramesh, his Father and Royal Island tours was incredible 😍 we spent 2 weeks of our honeymoon travelling around Sri Lanka with them and we can honestly say that they made our trip. They were so helpful, kind and funny would recommend them to everyone. Hopefully one day we will get to go back. Trip of a lifetime with 5 star service. Very professional .
