Private tours: frequently asked questions
Are these fixed-departure tours?
No. They are sample itineraries and tour ideas. Every trip is private and planned around your dates, so you can change the order, add days or swap places.
What is included in a private tour?
Usually a private air-conditioned vehicle with driver, fuel, parking and tolls, and the driver's accommodation and meals on multi-day trips. Hotels, entrance fees and activities depend on what you choose. Final inclusions are confirmed in writing with your quote.
Can you arrange a tour of a few days only?
Yes. We run day tours from Kandy, Colombo and the south coast as well as longer trips. Tell us how much time you have.
Do you offer guides as well as drivers?
Your driver knows the roads and the country well. For detailed explanations at major heritage sites, licensed site guides can be arranged.
How far in advance should I book?
Two to three months ahead is comfortable for most trips, and earlier for December to April or festival dates. Shorter notice is often possible, so ask anyway.
