    Family Trips

    What impressed us most was our driver’s wealth of local knowledge. The information and advice tailored to the situation on the ground—things we could never have found simply by researching online or with AI—made the trip even more satisfying.

    The Ishikawa Family (Japan)

    During this trip, he responded immediately when we suddenly changed our plans, which was a great help. What impressed us most was our driver’s wealth of local knowledge. The information and advice he provided—things we could never have found simply by researching online or with AI, and guidance tailored to the situation on the ground at the time—made the trip even more satisfying. Whenever something was beyond what the driver could handle alone—for example, when we suddenly asked for a restaurant reservation—he promptly contacted the company, and the local staff…

    Family Trips

    On the long drives, he played our child’s favourite music so they would not get bored, making the trip enjoyable for the whole family.

    The E Family (Japan)

    Our driver, Aruna, was extremely flexible and made the trip very enjoyable even with a child. He had a wealth of knowledge and gave us clear explanations at each sightseeing destination, allowing us to learn a great deal about Sri Lankan culture. On the long drives, he also played our child’s favourite music so they would not get bored, making the trip enjoyable for the whole family.

    Couples

    Throughout the trip, he maintained just the right balance—attentive without hovering—and stepped in whenever we needed help, so we could enjoy Sri Lanka without stress.

    The S Family (Japan)

    When we suddenly wanted to reschedule an Ayurveda experience during the trip, he found a suitable facility that could fit into our itinerary and handled the change flexibly. He also helped us arrange tickets for the Perahera festival on the day itself. Ranjana had advised us in advance that it would be better not to book beforehand, so we were anxious because we had not secured seats until that day, but in the end we were apparently able to get excellent seats for less than the standard price. Beyond those…

    Solo Travel

    Although it had nothing to do with his work as a driver, he went out of his way to help me. There are still many places I could not visit on this trip, so I hope to return another time.

    Mr. T (Japan)

    In addition to driving, he climbed Sigiriya Rock and Pidurangala Rock with me and explained many things along the way. His stories about history were fascinating. I had been worried before climbing Sigiriya Rock and Pidurangala Rock, but they were not as difficult as I had expected. Most visitors probably go to Sigiriya Rock, but the route to the summit of Pidurangala Rock feels like a pleasant forest walk. There is also now an alternative route around the rock-climbing section that used to be considered the final challenge, so it…

    Family Trips

    He looked after us with exceptional attention to detail, allowing us to travel comfortably for five days. He explained what we saw from the car and guided us to the right places, at the right times, along well-chosen routes. It made for a truly wonderful trip.

    The T Family (Japan)

    On this trip, we were fortunate to spend five days with a wonderful driver named Lanka, and we thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to Sri Lanka 🇱🇰. About our guide, Lanka: 1. He looked after us with exceptional attention to detail, allowing us to travel comfortably for five days. He explained what we saw from the car and guided us to the right places, at the right times, along well-chosen routes. It made for a truly wonderful trip. 2. His Japanese was excellent, and he was also a dedicated learner.…

    Family Trips

    His sincere desire to show us how wonderful Sri Lanka is came through at every turn and filled the whole trip with warmth.

    The Y Family (Japan)

    We are sincerely grateful to Indika, who was our driver during this trip to Sri Lanka. He responded flexibly to changes in our itinerary along the way and helped make the journey an unforgettable experience. He took us to fascinating local places that we could never have discovered through the information we researched in Japan, allowing us to experience the authentic appeal of Sri Lanka. He also carefully arranged an early check-in with our hotel and negotiated takeaway breakfasts for our early departures in advance, allowing us to travel comfortably…

    Couples

    When we booked, we thought this might be our only visit. Yet the service was so wonderful from the moment we made the reservation that we now want to return to Sri Lanka with our children and ride the tea train next time. Thank you 😍

    The K Family (Japan)

    We have just said goodbye to Dhammika. We have travelled to 20 countries, but we have never had a guide as courteous and friendly as he was. Although the two days involved long journeys, he looked after us thoughtfully throughout, and we were able to experience elephants and Ayurveda for the first time. When we booked, we thought this might be our only visit. Yet the service was so wonderful from the moment we made the reservation that we now want to return to Sri Lanka with our children and…

    Groups & Themed Trips

    As we had hoped, all our transfers went very smoothly. Our driver, Mahesh, coordinated with the sightseeing sites, restaurants and hotels in advance, allowing us to travel very comfortably despite our tight schedule.

    The I Group (Japan)

    When we booked your private taxi, our main goal was to secure smooth transportation so that we could see as much as possible in a short period. As we had hoped, all our transfers went very smoothly. Our driver, Mahesh, coordinated with the sightseeing sites, restaurants and hotels in advance, allowing us to travel very comfortably despite our tight schedule.

    Family Trips

    To be honest, during the first day or two, we were slightly distrustful of some of the driver’s suggestions regarding our plans.

    An Anonymous Family (Japan)

    To be honest, during the first day or two, we were slightly distrustful of some of the driver’s suggestions regarding our plans. We wondered whether he might be steering us toward businesses with which he had connections. However, as we spent more time together, we came to understand that he was a very trustworthy driver. He was not especially talkative, but he was sincere and courteous. We felt completely comfortable entrusting the itinerary to him. Looking back, the mistrust we initially felt was probably an unconscious defensiveness shaped by our…

    Family Trips

    Chamil was genuinely concerned for us and communicated with the airline and delivery company in the local language. His help was invaluable, even though it must have been extra work for him.

    The Y Family (Japan)

    It was reassuring that we could discuss everything in Japanese right up until our departure. Our driver, Chamil, also responded flexibly whenever we changed our plans. Above all, his help with our delayed baggage from the outbound flight was invaluable. At first, we contacted the airline ourselves in English, but the luggage did not arrive as scheduled and we were at a complete loss. Chamil was genuinely concerned for us and communicated with the airline and delivery company in the local language. Even though it must have been extra work…

    In Sri Lanka, Japanese cars make up the majority of taxis. At the same time, due to currency-defence measures amid limited foreign reserves, car imports are subject to customs duty, value-added tax, excise tax and luxury tax, which together can exceed 200%. As a result, local purchase prices of cars (Most are imported from Japan) are more than three times those in Exporting country (for example, a car that costs GBP 10 thousand in exporting country sells for over GBP 35 thousand in Sri Lanka).
    Even so, because local wage levels are relatively low, taxi fares remain restrained. As you’ll see in the comparison with taxi-charter rates in Europe, charters in Sri Lanka are available for less than half the price of those in Europe.
