Just let us know what kind of accommodation, room and board you prefer or what your budget is. We can offer everything from budget guesthouses, middle class or luxury hotels. There are no third party payments to do. Each and every hotel booking can be done by Chauffeur Sri Lanka without any additional charge.

My wife and I spend almost three weeks in Sri Lanka with a private driver. The booking and preparation process was straightforward and uncomplicated. Our friendly driver Janaka was great. He made us feel very safe (even in the chaotic Sri Lankan traffic), gave us good recommendations and steered clear of any obvious tourist traps. He was also extremely helpful in organising the parts of our trip that we had not planned in advanced and helped us out with finding hotels and activities and making the bookings and reservations for us.

Hiran, the owner, showed us amazing Sri Lankan hospitality after our arrival and before our departure, even inviting us to stay for free at his homestay (which is very nice) for our final night. This man is truly passionate about providing the best service for his customers and he will do whatever he can to make sure that they have the best experience possible in Sri Lanka!

I would warmly recommend Chaffeur Sri Lanka to anyone planning on visiting Sri Lanka!

For our trip to Sri Lanka we booked a private driving service via E-Mail. The Communication upon arrival was very good and professional. During our stay in Sri Lanka we had Kamal as our driver. Kamal is such a friendly and warm-hearted person. We felt immediately in good hands. Kamal also knows a lot about his country so that we have gained deep knowledge about the country and culture. The car was always clean and in very good condition. We couldn’t imagine a better driver than Kamal. At the end it felt like we have been friends for many years. Thank you Kamal for the great time in beautiful Sri Lanka. We’ll definitely come back one day!

We travelled with Hiran company and it was fabulous ! They took care of us in the best way they could, first following our roadmap in the south eastern part and proposing clever ideas as it came with their heartful and qualified guide Amila. We wished to have a local touch staying by the people and this is what it was, enjoying the nature, the spirituality and meeting with now good friends. I can only recommend the professionalism and generosity, Hiran family with his wife and children and the gentle guide Amila and his family as well. Love Sri Lanka.

Overall, 10 / 10 across the board for Chauffeur Sri Lanka and our driver Sri.

Chauffeur Sri Lanka (CSL) was friendly and very accommodating in planning our 10 day journey. Maybe our fault that we didn’t spend enough time researching, the tour that was recommended by CSL and the one we eventually chose was largely focused on the historical / cultural tour, we felt it lacked a bit of adventure, and the large amount driving involved left us longing for more varied experiences. I have no doubt though, that had we requested changes in the suggested itinerary, Chauffeur Sri Lanka would have gladly obliged, so once again, probably our own fault here. Additionally, although the mid-range accommodation package generally met our needs, some places fell short with dirty bathrooms and sheets. CSL even assisted in booking us a new hotel within hours as we simply could not stay in one due to hygiene issues. Despite these minor setbacks, we still rate our overall experience with CSL highly at 10/10. By far the majority of the trip was an incredible experience

In addition, our experience with our driver Sri, was great, earning a solid 10/10 rating. The car provided was not only comfortable and spacious but also equipped with air conditioning and Bluetooth capabilities. Sri was very friendly, knowledgeable about Sri Lanka's history and attractions, and flexible to accommodate our requests. He even went above and beyond by suggesting additional stops and recommendations outside of our planned itinerary, which enhanced our experience.

In conclusion, Sri Lanka itself is a beautiful destination, with its exceptionally friendly and helpful people adding to its charm, customer service is 20/10. We would definitely recommend visiting, but advise future travelers to do a bit of their own research on the activities to do and the accommodations provided by CSL to ensure an even better experience.

We had an excellent chauffeur Srimal, from Chauffeur Sri Lanka Dohansa Lanka Tours, from the moment we were greeted by him at the airport he went beyond the call of duty to ensure we had an amazing holiday. He looked after us in a professional but friendly manner. He knows and loves his country and imparted lots of interesting details about Sri Lanka’s history and culture. He helped to organise the routes we travelled and the places we visited. His driving was excellent especially in the crazy traffic! Nothing was too much. He was very reliable, kind and courteous. I have no hesitation in recommending him.

Hiran is just the best driver!
We had an outstanding vacation and he was responsible for a very big part.
Hiran is just that much more than a driver, he's a tour guide, information deliverer, DJ, knower of street food, shield against tourist traps, meditation teacher, partner for discussions about both, funny and deep stuff, environment safer, etc.
He always gave us great tips on what we could see and visit on our way to the next site and always wanted the best for us.
He even recommded us hotels and booked them for us with better prices, always informing us if he‘d get some comission there and asking if we want to receive it instead.
With him we tried and got to know the real local food and learned about the culture.
Hiran was just always very friendly, happy and fun. But the most we loved was his honesty and thrustworthiness.
We just enjoyed travelling with him and his hospitality was awesome. He and his wife showed us how to cook shrimp curry and sambal that was so delicious and maybe the best food we had in SriLanka.
Almost needless to say that he offers even a home stay, where you can spend some relaxed time after landing or prior to departure.
The car was great as well, super clean and comfy for a long journey.

Hiran + Nilusha thank you so much for everything you showed and offered us

Still compiling numerous wonderfull moments from our trip to Sri Lanka. By the excelent reference from a friend of mine, sister and me have contacted Madu prior to our visit. As the first impresion contacting him was building our confidence so it was the reality.
Traveling with Madu as our full time guide and driver was full of Sri Lanka hidden but wonderfull sites. He was helpfull and always handy when needed fulfilling the trip with laugh and suprisingly nice sites being discovered.
Fortnight visit has passed all too quick leaving us with best memories 🤩. Thanks to Sri Lanka and our guide Madu 🍀

We booked a chauffeured tour of Sri Lanka from March 7th to March 20th, and spent the first three nights in Negombo at our own request to acclimatize. Even booking in advance with a few additional questions from us was completely straightforward and all questions or requests were answered or fulfilled promptly. At first we weren't sure if it was the right way to travel for us, as we would be spending a lot of time with a stranger. But these concerns were immediately dispelled at the airport. Although we landed very late and some of our luggage was lost, Sanju greeted us cheerfully as if we had known each other for a long time. Without him we would probably never have seen our luggage again - he called the airport every day. The tour is perfectly selected to get to know all the main highlights of Sri Lanka (Elephant Orphanage in Pinnawala, Lions Rock in Sigiriya, Polonnaruwa (the holy city) and the Temple of the Tooth in Kandy - to name just a few. In addition, Sanju does everything he can to introduce us to the customs and habits of his country. He is funny, always in a good mood and it is fun to listen to him.
The accommodations are very well selected, from simple to upscale. The simpler accommodations more than make up for the luxury with the special friendliness of the staff.
We had a great time and an eventful holiday.
We can recommend this tour 100% and without reservations.

Dear Carala, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear about your positive experience with our chauffeur-driven round trip to Sri Lanka. It's great to know that the booking process was smooth and that we were able to promptly address your questions and requests. We understand that traveling with someone you don't know can initially raise concerns, but we're thrilled to hear that you felt comfortable and at ease with Sanju, our chauffeur. It's heartening to know that he went above and beyond to assist you, even helping to retrieve your lost luggage by contacting the airport daily. We pride ourselves on the dedication and care of our team, and stories like this demonstrate the importance of those personal connections. We strive to curate tours that encompass all the essential highlights of Sri Lanka, and we're thrilled that you enjoyed visiting the Elephant Orphanage in Pinnawala, Lions Rock in Sigiriya, Polonnaruwa, and the Temple of the Tooth in Kandy. These landmarks truly capture the essence and beauty of the country. Once again, thank you for sharing your experience, and we hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back on another adventure in the future! Best regards, Hiran and chauffeur Sri Lanka by dohansa lanka team

My wife and I have just spent 16 days in Sri Lanka and our experience of this wonderful country was enhanced by the brilliant service that we received from the owner, Hiran and his team. After being met at the airport and taken to our first hotel we were invited to dinner with Hiran on our second night which was superb. After a couple of days relaxing we began our 7 day chauffeur trip with Srimal who was incredibly knowledgeable and went out of his way to show us the things that we wanted to see. He was a very careful driver and was fun to be with and by the end of the tour we felt that he was more of a friend than our driver.
We would have no hestitation in recommennding this company as they did all the hotel bookings and venue entrance fees without a hitch. If we are ever fortunate to travel to Sri Lanka again these guys would be the first people we would get in contact with. Thank you

My sister and I travelled for 2 weeks with Hiran and we have to say, it was perfect from the beginning to the end. Hiran is very friendly, service oriented, speaks english very well, drives carefully and knows his way around. He takes care of his car properly, we think he cleaned it every day. It’s a simple car, clean, enough space for two, maybe three customers with luggage (we were 2 and had 3 suitcases, worked just fine).

His wife did all the communications with us before the journey, she always responded quickly.

We started our journey in Negombo, where Hiran picked us up, then went to Sigiryia, Dambulla, Kandy, Yala NP, a beach near Tangalle, Unawatuna and then spent our last night at Hiran and Nilushas Homestay Living with Lankans. That was actually the nicest accommodation we’ve stayed in whole Sri Lanka and the food the two of them cooked was amazing. Hiran has a mushroom farm in his backyard and they cooked farm to table for us. Simply perfect.

What made our journey with Hiran so special, were all the tips and suggestions he made, starting from enjoying a lovely lunch at a friends house who just cooked one of the best Currys we’ve had in Sri Lanka, to taking us to a local vegetable market, to telling us to take an umbrella to protect ourselves from the sun, to taking us to „instagram“ photo spots, to well guided tea factories, wood craft stores or anything else we asked for.

So we can only say, thank you so much, for making the trip so special for us!! We hope to see you and your family again one day.
