Who we are

Ten years of driving these roads

We are a tour operator working out of Battaramulla, on the eastern edge of Colombo. For ten years we have been taking visitors around Sri Lanka: the rock fortress at Sigiriya and the cave temples at Dambulla, the temple and lake at Kandy, the tea country above Nuwara Eliya, the train down to Ella, the national park at Yala, and the coast at Mirissa, Galle and Trincomalee.

In that time we have hosted around 1,500 travellers on roughly 500 tours. Most of them arrived knowing one or two places they wanted to see and left having seen rather more, because the person driving them knew what was worth the detour.

We would rather talk you out of a bad itinerary than sell you one.

What we actually do

Guided round tours of 7, 10 and 14 days; tailor-made itineraries built around your own dates and interests; airport pick-up and drop-off; cultural and historical sightseeing; wildlife safaris and village experiences; hill country and scenic journeys; beach and coastal tours; hiking, camping and motorcycle routes; and custom transport with travel guidance for travellers who want to move at their own pace.

How we work

You travel in a private vehicle with your own driver-guide, not in a coach with thirty strangers. There is no fixed price list, because a fair quotation depends on when you travel, how many of you there are, where you want to go and where you want to sleep. So we talk first, write the route, then quote — and the first conversation costs nothing.

How we work

Four things we hold to

Nothing here is a slogan. They are the reasons travellers tell us they came back to us, and the standards we would want if we were the ones arriving.

  • Say what is true

    We will tell you when a drive is long, when a park is quiet and when a coast is out of season. No guarantees we cannot keep.

  • Build the route around you

    Our 7, 10 and 14-day tours are starting points. Change the pace, swap a place, add a day — the itinerary is yours, not ours.

  • Answer quickly

    We are reachable 24 hours a day on WhatsApp and by phone, and we aim to reply within about an hour — before and during your trip.

  • Quote clearly

    One written quotation covering the route, the transport, the accommodation and the activities you chose. You see what you are paying for.
