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.
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.

We also appreciated his suggestions for experiences we would never have tried on our own, such as visiting a local market and buying a lottery ticket.
We knew nothing about local safety, transportation or the geography, so it was extremely helpful to discuss the travel schedule and plan it together. Although this made the trip more expensive, it allowed us to travel with complete peace of mind.
Our driver was very entertaining and knowledgeable. He answered our questions thoroughly and used our free time to take us to local places and other destinations that matched our interests, which we greatly enjoyed.

I’ve never been good at interacting with other people, so I was hesitant to ask Mr. LankaMe to do anything, and even after I made the request, I was still worried. However, in the end, I made the right decision.
I consulted with Mr. Yoshida from the time I made the inquiry until before I left. The answers were always concise and easy to understand, and they also included what I should say in the next reply and what I should do by the deadline, which saved me a lot of unnecessary rallies. thank you very much.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to our driver, Mr. Mahesh. I've never been good at interacting with other people, so I was hesitant to ask LankaMe to do anything, and even after I made the request, I was still worried.
However, in the end, I made the right decision. Mr. Mahesh always spoke to me in a friendly manner, but kept an appropriate distance from me without being excessive. It was fun to be able to talk about various things while looking at the scenery while traveling long distances in the car. There were many times when I felt that they were used to being guided by Japanese people. I was really happy to see that he had an affinity for Japan and Japanese people, and was able to leave it to him for four days with peace of mind.
Also, because I didn't think about my itinerary in detail, I often had to make last-minute decisions, but they didn't give me a hard time and adjusted the schedule so that I could enjoy the whole day. He patiently listened to my poor English, which was really reassuring.
If I had traveled on my own as usual, not only would I not have been able to go to the sightseeing spots and shops I was taken to, but I would have had a lot of trouble getting around. And I definitely never fell in love with Sri Lanka this much. Thank you very much.

We hope to hire you again when we return to Sri Lanka
Mahesh looked after us for three days. Everything was truly wonderful—he accommodated our many requests and made it a perfect trip.
Although there were long drives, we were comfortable the whole time.
Thanks to Mahesh’s extensive knowledge, he answered our many questions politely and clearly, which deepened our appreciation of Sri Lanka.
We would like to ask for his help again when we visit Sri Lanka next time. Thank you very much.

Enjoy Sri Lanka Safely and Comfortably with a Private Taxi Charter
Sri Lanka has an impressive variety of attractions, from Sigiriya Rock Fortress and Dambulla Cave Temple to the tea country around Nuwara Eliya, the cultural city of Kandy, and the beach resorts of the south.
However, travelling between these places by public transport can involve complicated transfers, long travel times, and the inconvenience of carrying luggage between buses, trains, and stations.
For many first-time visitors from Europe, the main concerns are safety, communication, and whether the route can be planned efficiently within a limited holiday period.
A private taxi charter can make the trip smoother by connecting airport transfers, sightseeing stops, hotels, restaurants, and optional activities in one flexible itinerary.
LankaMe arranges Sri Lanka government-licensed tourist drivers and supports each itinerary according to your schedule, travel style, and preferred destinations.
We can help with airport transfers, intercity travel, sightseeing routes, hotel transfers, and restaurant visits, so you do not need to organise every movement separately.
With the Platinum Plan or higher, support can also include assistance at sightseeing spots and local explanations where available.
Rather than being only a means of transport, a private taxi charter can become a practical travel partner for understanding Sri Lanka’s history, culture, and nature more deeply.
If you are unsure about transport in Sri Lanka, or if you would like to know suitable routes and estimated costs, please feel free to contact us first.
