Can’t recommend Lux Tours and Laxman enough. Laxman is awesome, free pick up from the train station to our hotel. The next day we got picked up for our day trip to Sigiriya Rock and the temples. Amazing!! Laxman and his driver Priente? made our trip as enjoyable and comfortable possible going above and beyond to find rest rooms, restaurants and coffee haha. To top things off Laxman organised our train tickets for the next day for no extra charge. A friendly and reliable company that ensure a good time. Thanks again guys, you’ve made myself and Natalies day. Cheers, Luke

Ashiq Aswar is a superb tour guide! Him and Rizni took my family around on a tour of Colombo that included shopping and then a tour of the outskirts of a bee farm, spice gardens a private tour visiting and riding elephants. We had a great lunch in a clean and air-conditioned restaurant. The van was clean and comfortable. They picked us up and dropped us back. This trip was actually in the early part of last year in spring, but the calendar on Trip Advisor only goes back to summer of last year. They were very attentive, very caring and personable. I would highly recommend Ashiq and Kingfisher tours to anyone visiting Colombo, Sri Lanka ????????

We had a great experience with Mihi. He’s an excellent communicator and logistics were painless. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, greatly helped our understanding of the country and brought us to some off the beaten track spots. Although our trip was not hiking/camping oriented, that’s really Mihi’s specialty - so if you’re planning an outdoors focused trip to the hill country give Mihi a buzz.

We were referred by a friend in Australia to contact Nish when we arrived. We used him for one day then decided to cancel all our previously booked travel agent transfers to use him instead. Amazing personalised service with a big smile. Really made our trip much better than we could have imagined or planned for. Took us to many great places we would not have known about otherwise. Great person with amazing knowledge, who now feels like more of a friend. Will definitely recommend to anyone visiting Sri Lanka.
