The Grand Tour
Three steps to your private tour
One person, the whole way
In Sri Lanka, private tours are usually run by a chauffeur-guide who drives and guides. Ours are part of our own team, speak English and have driven these roads for years.
Three hotel levels
Every hotel we use we have stayed in. Mix levels freely – a simple bungalow in the hills, something special by the sea.
Planned and guided personally – by people who live in Sri Lanka.
Many large tour operators plan your trip from an office in Europe and leave the running of it to a contracted local agency. We work differently: our founder Philipp Müller lives in Sri Lanka, speaks fluent Sinhala and leads our team on the ground himself.

A private tour for every reason to travel
Tailor-made holidays in Sri Lanka
A private tour is the most flexible way to see Sri Lanka. You set the start date, the length and the hotel level, and your route is built around your interests: more temples, more wildlife, more tea, more beach. Your driver-guide can adjust each day on the spot – leave later if it rained in the morning, stop at a roadside fruit stall, or add a detour to a waterfall.
Private tour questions
Our sample routes start at £1,245 per person for 7 days (2 travellers, double room, driver-guide and car included). The price depends on hotel level, season and group size – you get an exact quote with your proposal.
During the day, yes. In the evening he stays at driver quarters near your hotel, so you have your privacy and he is close by when needed.
Yes. That is the point of a private tour – an extra night somewhere, a different stop, a slower day. We rebook hotels for you where possible.
No. Roads in Sri Lanka are demanding and foreign licences need a local permit. A driver-guide is safer and usually not much more expensive.
No, our tours are land arrangements from and to Colombo airport. We time your pick-up to your flight.
Yes. Your English-speaking driver-guide is part of our team, travels with you every day and knows the island inside out.
