スリランカでの14日間のプライベートツアー

We decided to book a private driver for our holiday in Sri Lanka and it was the best choice we could have made. Our driver Nandana was truly amazing. Very good at driving as well as a wonderful person from a human point of view. He accompanied us to all the places we wanted to visit, always available to give us directions and find some local place to eat. Thanks to him we were able to have a real experience in Sri Lanka. We can only thank him for everything and recommend him warmly.

In January 2024 we made a 17 day tour starting at the airport of Negombo, and then via Mannar to Wilpattu, Anuradhapura, Sigiriya, Kandy, Kitulgala, Nuwara Eliya, Ella, Udawalawe, Sinharaja and finally Weligama. Our first contact was with Jay, who was one of the few people responding to our first offer request who actually took the time to answer our questions (and in excellent English). Also when the agreement was made he was always available to help with our (many..) questions. Our driver was Mahinda, who picked us up at the airport with a Toyota Prius. A comfortable car that was big enough for all our luggage (we were only two people but carried around at least twice as much as normal people). One thing to keep in mind is that like most sedans, the ceiling on the back seat is quite low if you're somewhat tall (1,90 m). The car was modern and equiped with seat belts, and Mahinda made sure it remained clean. He was always punctual (even though we were late most of the time), always friendly and flexible to adjust the schedule if we asked for it. Furtermore he is just a fun, friendly guy with a generous smile, we felt comfortable really quickly. Traffic in Sri Lanka is a bit chaotic, especially with busses overtaking everywhere at high speed and the constant zigzagging between dogs that are laying and walking on the streets. Mahinda, a former lorry driver, showed his experience and although he drove fast (within limits) we never felt unsafe. No unnecessary risks while overtaking and alert on traffic coming from all directions. In the meantime Mahinda still helped us look for anything along the road. Fruit stands that sold the fruits we like, good local restaurants, special animals, coconuts, and the regular stuff like ATM's and grocery stores. Mahinda was in general very helpful by the way, also helping us with our luggage, making sure we wouldn't pay too much for souvenirs, tours and food, booking tours for us and even taking pictures of us. This was the first time we had a driver on vacation, normally we drive ourselves. We were a bit afraid that having a driver would mean less privacy or freedom, but we did not regret it for a moment. Mahinda always kept his distance unless we asked otherwise, and was always genuinely patient so we never felt rushed. Besides that, it was really comfortable to be able to get in a car after an early sunrise hike and relax until the next stop. We could not have expected it to be as pleasant as it turned out to be with Mahinda though, when we parted in the end it felt like saying goodbye to a friend. No matter what your plans are, I promise you that your vacation will be better with Mahinda as your driver (and the support of Jay of course).

The driver Gayan was fantastic, diligent, caring and cautious. Jay was the best tour organiser I have met. A great and satisfying experience with Green Leaf.

Overall we had a great experience with Greenleaf and visited several parts of the Island. Colombo, Kandy & Hatton. The sedan car we used was a Toyota prius and for a 6 year old vehicle was in good condition. Jay our guide cum driver for the tour who also happens to be the owner of Greenleaf holidays was well spoken well behaved and very punctual.

Together with my wife, we booked a Sri Lanka trip with Green Leaf holidays via srilankacaranddriver webpage as their quote was very fair and had positive reviews so far. I can only comfirm what I have read there. We took a tight 8-day tour with them (Colombo-Sigiriya-Kandy-Nuwara Eliya-Ella-Yala-Mirissa-Colombo). Our main driver, Jay was very helpful from the beginning till the end. Once we booked the trip, he put together a suggested itinerary and was very flexible when we wanted to change something even last minute. His English is very good and he is also very knowledgeable. Communication was very easy via whatsapp. We had a second driver as well, who was learning from Jay to be able to do tours on his own. He was also very kind with us throughout the trip. We always felt safe in the car (even if Sri Lankan driving is much different from what we are used to in Europe). All in all, we highly recommend Green Leaf Tours in Sri Lanka!

We had a wonderful experience. Every place we visited was interesting and different.Our driver was Nilantha. He was more than a driver also helping us out with various activities such as hiking. He was a safe driver as well as being friendly, courteous and knowledgeable of the areas we visited. I cannot recommend the trip and the driver highly enough.

On a Sri Lanka trip for 8 days with Nilantha. He was a guide, driver and a bodyguard all in one. He ensures our safety is the top priority, for example he will warn us to keep our purse/bags close in certain areas of the city and he also ensures that us tourist will not be taken advantage of when we are shopping or taking part in a certain activity. He ensures the price is right for the item or activity before we pay to the seller. He even assited us to bargain with the local sellers there!! Fantastic right.. Nilantha also recommends certain routes to take or activity when we do not have any in place or could not decide how the to go about for the day. He makes sure our trip was a fruitful one. He assisted with phototaking and at the same time telling us the history of the places that we go. If you wish for a person to not only drive you around, but one with the various skillset/assistance, pick Nilantha!! One of the best out there, he made my trip enjoyable, memorable and safe. Thank you so much Nilantha.

Excellent and friendly equipe... Knowledgeable and always available to surprise us with a hidden corner of heaven
