Narinda is a Chauffeur guide driver who is fluent in Japanese. He has worked together with Ranjena for many years and is an excellent veteran driver who is endorsed by Ranjena. He has deep insight into Sri Lanka’s history, culture, and nature, and explains world heritage sites and famous places in easy-to-understand Japanese. We will carefully explain the background of the tourist destination, so your trip will be much more satisfying. The most appealing thing is the attention to detail. They sense the customers’ physical condition and level of fatigue and suggest a break, they casually assist customers with loading and unloading their luggage and getting on and off the train, and they take them to and from the entrance at night, giving them the sense of stability of a veteran that you can feel at ease. The Japanese language is natural, including honorific language and nuances, and everything from communication on the day to troubleshooting can be completed using only Japanese. We promise you a pleasant day with safe driving and punctuality.

As this was a women’s trip, having a trustworthy driver with us allowed us to enjoy the journey safely and without encountering any problems.
Thanks to our driver, Nalinda, we had a very fulfilling trip.
In addition to our original plans, he suggested activities, took us to delicious local restaurants and filled our journey with experiences we could never have discovered from information available in Japan alone.
He explained the history, culture and current circumstances of places such as the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic in detailed Japanese, giving us a much deeper understanding of Sri Lanka.
As this was a women’s trip, having a trustworthy driver with us allowed us to enjoy the journey safely and without encountering any problems.
In a car-dependent country such as Sri Lanka, where attractions are spread across many regions, we felt that a service like this was indispensable. Thank you again for the wonderful five days.

The fruit and cashew nuts our driver recommended along the way were the most delicious things we ate in Sri Lanka.
He adjusted the schedule flexibly, allowing us to accomplish everything we had wanted to see and do before the trip.
The fruit and cashew nuts our driver recommended along the way were the most delicious things we ate in Sri Lanka. We would never have discovered them if we had travelled on our own, so we were truly glad to have his help.

His explanations were easy to understand, and his kindness made me feel at ease.
His explanations were easy to understand, and his kindness made me feel at ease.
This may partly reflect road conditions in Sri Lanka, but his driving style involved repeatedly pressing and releasing the accelerator rather than maintaining steady pressure, which made me feel carsick. When I mentioned it, he made an effort to improve.
He did his best to accommodate our requests and did even more than we had hoped, which made me very happy.
I understand that Sri Lanka differs from Japan, but he received and answered several phone calls while driving. Because the road conditions were difficult, this felt a little frightening. Although he used hands-free calling, I worried about the possibility of an accident.

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.
