Very good driver
I had a wonderful experience with my driver. He was incredibly kind and great company throughout the journey, always friendly and easy to talk to. On top of that, he was an excellent driver — safe, smooth, and reliable the whole way. I’d highly recommend him and wouldn’t hesitate to ride with him again !

PERFECT!
Our stay would not have been the same if we had not had the chance to meet Naleen! A very pleasant contact and understanding our interests, he perfectly conveyed and guided us for three days. And all for a very reasonable price! We recommend!

Perfect trip from Negombo to Sigiriya
What a fantastic experience with this driver, incredibly friendly, super sweet and nice click with our daughter of 9 months! Took us safely and relaxed from Negombo to Sigirya with a lovely stopover at a local restaurant 😌 In a few days we will drive south with this best gentleman again! Thank you so much!

Sightseeing Sri Lanka with a great private driver
If you plan to go to Sri Lanka, Naleen is the best person to travel with. He’s a great driver, guide, photographer. I traveled with Naleen twice, in August 2024 and then April 2025 and thanks to him I’ve seen pretty much the whole island. He takes you to places that you want to see and adds more hidden gems on the way that you didn’t know or hear about! He helps you book accomodation, additional sightseeing adventures and waits patiently for you to come back. He knows great places to eat local food. 5 or even 10 stars service 🤩 I travelled solo but my friends, who also had Naleen as their guide and driver were a family of 3 and recommended Naleen to me. I’d recommend Naleen to everyone who wants to go to Sri Lanka 😍🤩
