Highly Recommended: Lakshitha Kimbulapitiya
Highly Recommended: Lakshitha Kimbulapitiya
Lakshitha is the definition of a professional, reliable, and safe driver. Throughout our trip, he was exceptionally punctual and executed every part of our agreed itinerary flawlessly. His driving was consistently careful, making the long transits across Sri Lanka incredibly smooth and comfortable.
What truly set Lakshitha apart was his proactive coordination. Without us ever having to ask or worry about logistics, he called our hotels in advance to ensure everything was ready for our arrival. For properties in Nuwara Eliya and Ella with steep or narrow approach roads that could not accommodate his larger vehicle, he independently arranged for the hotel staff to be waiting with their own transport to seamlessly complete our drop-off. He completely eliminated logistical friction before we even knew it existed.
I highly recommend Lakshitha to anyone traveling to Sri Lanka who wants a completely stress-free, expertly managed experience

We had an amazing experience with Lakshita as our travel partner! From start to finish, he was kind, professional, and incredibly helpful. He even got us a great discount on our hotel bookings. Lakshita is genuinely soft-spoken, highly punctual, and always has a smile on his face. If you're looking for a reliable travel guide, we can't recommend him enough!

Exceptional Sri Lanka tour with Lakshita. He was punctual, flexible, and incredibly supportive throughout
Lakshita made our Sri Lanka tour truly seamless and memorable. He was impeccable throughout the trip, always attentive and ensuring we were comfortable at every step. What stood out the most was his flexibility and commitment, whether it was arranging early morning departures like our 5 am hike to Little Adam’s Peak or accommodating last-minute changes in our plans without hesitation.
The car was always clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with a good music system and air conditioning, which made long drives enjoyable and relaxing. His knowledge of local routes, attractions, and hidden gems added a lot of value to our itinerary, helping us experience more than just the usual tourist spots.
He was punctual, professional, and genuinely warm in his interactions, which made traveling around Sri Lanka feel safe and effortless. Overall, it was a well-organized and hassle-free experience, and I would highly recommend Lakshita to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful tour guide.

8 day trip to srilanka with family
Jeewan bhai was excellent throughout our 7 day trip in Sri Lanka, he was on time everyday, suggested other places more than what we planned,we gave hotel details each day and he coordinated with stay owner himself in getting exact location and other amenities before we reach the hotel. He suggested local foods to try out. He was great and kind enough to come with us for a Trek instead of waiting in a car, and he knows every places and locals to have our trip memorable with less responsibility

A dream driver for a dream trip
We travelled 14 days through part of Sri Lanka with Lakhsita and it was a great road trip, full of emotions and dreams realized. He drives carefully, he is helpful and has listened to the needs of our 2 year old daughter. We even had the chance to meet his family. She is a great person. I recommend you travel with him.

Fantastic experience with an equally fantastic driver
The holiday was extraordinary, thanks to our favorite driver we were able to see everything with the right timing. The driver is a golden person who makes himself available to and for every occasion. He made us discover enchanted places that we were not aware of. We had a lot of fun with him, he is a jokey, sensitive man with the right words in his mouth.
We will carry it forever in our hearts.
Fully recommend the tour with him and his fantastic car
