Best driver/guide

by jayasri

We visited Sri Lanka for 10 days in April 2012. We really enjoyed ourholiday which gave a good impression of the wide variety of things you cansee and do in this beautiful country. Jagath is a very reliable driver, willnever over speed and brings you anywhere you like. His English is good andhis knowledge about Sri Lanka in general and especially Buddhist temples isvery good. During longer trips he would suggest some restaurant where wecould eat and we never got ill and it was always tasty. He is very discreetand modest and will never sit at your table or force you to visit certainshops if you don't want. His van is in good condition, has proper seatbeltand easily fits a family of six people. he told as also he has Toyota car. For more details can visit his web site www.Jagathtours.com email chamigath@wow.lk

Self Drive in Sri Lanka - 2012

by IndoBound

I know I was struggling to find much information about self drive in Sri Lanka, so I've posted some comments below from my own experiences over the last few weeks:Who to hire with:Europcar [Aban Tours] have a a desk at Colombo Airport along with a few other local operators (who all looked good). Don't expect the full Western experience when collecting the car (it took me 1.1/2hrs+ to finally get in the car despite having pre-booked and paid) - Aban Tours appear to be operating as Europcar under a branding licence only. Otherwise not too bad and I've seen much worse in many other developed countries. My car was a Toyota saloon in good condition but had a lot of miles on the clock (about 125k+).Driving in general:If you're not a confident/relaxed driver then don't drive in Sri Lanka. If you have experience of Asian driving (or perhaps Paris/Italy) then should be no problems at all.So long...

experienced driver Sri Lanka

by erikvh

We were recently in Sri Lanka with a team of Belgian travellers. If you are looking for an experienced driver we would like to recommend Mr. Siroshan Silva.He is a very good driver, with a lot of experience and he knows Sri Lanka very well. It’s possible just to rent driver+car per day for a fair price, but as we found out it’s even better to let him choose the accommodation too, because he knows every place for every budget. On the personal level he is a friendly, flexible man and very reliable man. The car (a little bus) was very comfortable with A/C.He has a website to contact him www.visittourlanka.com and his contact address is siroshan@hotmail.com. His mobile 0094 776915611.I can give more information or answers to your questions if necessary.Erik, Belgium

Public Busses

by meals109

The busses are an excellent and cheap way to travel all across Sri Lanka, back packs are safe and stored in the back of the bus. journeys range in length, but a good time is a ride that is under 3 hours. Very easy to organise and there is a bus depot in nearly every town and just ask a local they will point you in right direction for which one to catch. Also the ticket men on the bus are good as well and don't rip you off, you pay the same as a local. Busses are also excellent entertainment and a good place to strike conversations with locals. Plus people come on the bus and sell nuts, ice cream, snacks etc so you will never go hungry. Plus they look awesome and the first three roles are reserved for religious people.

Very good driver to be recommended!

by buabuababy

We could really find a good driver, Mr.Chamara Perera, 31,Male.He is honest and gentle person, and took great cares of us in reasonable English and fair cost.We strongly recommend him as a driver of your trip in Srilanka.If you are interested in his driving, please contact chamara1980@gmail.com, directly.You can feel at ease and spend good holidays there.

Beware of these bad drivers as other said

by buabuababy

I have contact this "Mr Naim " through begum_tours@hotmail.com as some of the members gave him quite a good review. However he did not pick me up at the airport and broke trust with me very much!!when met in Sri Lanka he looks different as compare to the photos as posted in VT. He gave lots of lies and empty promises. Next day, I gave a call to Naim and a man came to visit me too late.The man who told himself Mr. Naim's brother, was also no good person. He was not a driver,just a con artist.He did not anything for me, but requested much commission to introduce another driver.So I mean, please BEWARE begum_tours@hotmail.com, Mr. Naim and Vishwaka Travels,　giminirajakuruna953@gmail.com,Mr.Gamini!!
