My wife and I just finished an 11 day trip with Ruwan from Go Tours Lanka where he took us all over the country in a comfortable new vehicle. While there are many companies to choose from, I'm VERY happy that I went with this company. We are seasoned travelers and I wanted to find a tour guide/driver that was a safe driver, honest person, respectful and a pleasure to hang out with since this was such a long trip. I'm glad to say that Ruwan met all of the criterias. Ruwan spoke perfect English and was an excellent companion for the entire trip (considering the fact that we had to spend many hours in the car together). He had many great stories and excellent advice for first-time tourists to Sri Lanka. He was a safe driver and was prompt but also flexible around our timing and last-minute changes. We've never had a trip where we had a private driver for the entire trip and this made traveling in Sri Lanka so much easier and stress-free. I would definitely recommend that you contact Ruwan for a quote for your next trip to Sri Lanka as you will be in good hands!

Went on a morning safari, and had a great time! It was rumored that a leopard was laying on a rock, but then it dissoparied. The other cars went on to chase it, but our driver stayed put with the rock and closed the engine. 5 min wait, and the leopard claimed up on the rock again - and we were all alone to vitnes the beautiful animal! Saw alot of other animals and the driver choose roads with no/few other cars, so we felt "alone" on the safari journey. Recommanded!

What an incredible time I had with this company last year. It was my first time doing anything like this before and I was pretty skeptical to begin with. After chatting on the website I felt way more relaxed and couldn't wait for the trip to start. The whole experience when I was in Thailand was just out of this world. The hotels, activities, experiences and all the locals we met on the tour. What really stood out for me was how friendly the guides were. Matt and all the local guides were just super friendly and they really were more like your friend than a guide or leader. If I had to choose my favourite day it would have to be the day we did the boat trip on Phi Phi. We had the tunes going and the weather was just amazing, we saw reef sharks and a turtle which just blew my mind (I have never seen a turtle before lol). I loved it that much I am planning my next trip with the company as soon as all this COVID stuff is finished. Thanks for a great time and making my first travelling experience so special x

The hike to Knuckles Mountain range was well organised by Mahaweli Tours. We were provided with a good guide who knew his way about well and we felt safe throughout the trek. We were also looked after well and enjoyed the experience. There was fun and entertainment and chatter to keep us motivated to go up the mountains and we got to experience a nice cold waterfall bath too! 5 stars to both Prasad and Ajith for providing us with this experience.
