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 £1,030 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.
