Private Day Tours from Colombo & Negombo

A fabulous day trip to Galle from our cruise 🚢 Our guide Lal was one of the best guides we have ever had. He was kind, caring and considerate and had thought of everything to enhance our trip. We visited so many amazing places on this trip, it was varied and very interesting and we enjoyed all of the different experiences very much. Lal was very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to ensure that we had the best time. We would definitely recommend him and the tour.

Our day started with excellent communication from our guide Lal as to where we would be collected. He took us on a long and varied tour and was very attentive to our needs. Lal made sure we saw everything described in the itinerary. I think we had a very good overview of Sri Lanka in what was quite a short time as we were coming off a cruise ship. Many thanks.

We had a wonderful day at Galle! It was quite hot so we did skip a few sights but we enjoyed whatever we had seen. Mr Lal was a great guide. He shared local insights and was very accommodating!

I had a wonderful experience traveling in Sri Lanka, and a big part of that was thanks to my chauffeur guide Lal. He was very nice, professional, punctual, and reliable throughout the entire trip. His driving was excellent and safe, and he was always patient and attentive. He was great at managing time and always made sure I could see all the spots without feeling rushed. He knew exactly where to go, the best routes to take, and how to plan each day efficiently. He also recommended very good restaurants and even knew the best places to buy high-quality cinnamon. Along the way, he would stop whenever needed to make sure I didn’t miss anything. He went above and beyond in small but meaningful ways—helping me open a fresh coconut, patiently answering even my smallest questions, and explaining everything clearly. His knowledge and care really made my experience in Sri Lanka very enjoyable and memorable. I do think everyone if you come to this trip please consult about Lal. Regarding the services I booked, I do feel the overall price was a little high compared to what I asked around locally ($630 for whale watching + Yala park jeep + one night stay + transportation Colombo - Negombo - airport) However, this has nothing to do with the guide himself—he was excellent. As for Yala National Park, I would recommend avoiding peak season (definitely not Christmas) if possible, as there are too many jeeps entering together, not the best way to observe wildlife. Overall, I highly recommend Lal as the chauffeur guide.

We had a super nice Jeep Safari tour with a nice and kind guide named Kavil. He knows a lot about all the birds and other animals that wonder around in the park. The driver was super chill and attentive. We highly recommend booking a trip with these guys! PS: And thanks for the Kingscoconut Kavil 🙌🏼🥥
