Incredibly pleasant and awesome experience
We went to Sri Lanka for a two-week vacation, and it was an incredibly pleasant and awesome experience. A special thanks to Chin, who assisted us from the very beginning, helping with the planning of our itinerary and coordinating everything up until our arrival. The coordination was excellent. Our guide and driver, Buddika, became like a part of our family by the end of the tour. He is an amazing guide and a wonderful person, always there to take us around and assist with everything on our trip. I highly recommend fellow travelers to Sri Lanka to use this travel agency and enjoy your time to the fullest.

Wonderful experience in Sri Lanka
We had a 10 days tour around Sri Lanka with our guide, Darshana. He took good care of us and drove safely all the way. We literally go round SriLanka staring from Negombo ending in Colombo. It has been a wonderful experience staying with Darshana and thanks for the wonderful arrangement of the company.

A GOOD TRIP MANAGER
Initially we were very spectical about hiring their service so we just took the cab service for the whole trip of 5 day with the driver.We really have a good experience with the team would highly recommend them.

Reliable and Professional Tour Company with a Personal Touch
I've been using Genuine Sri Lanka for the past three years to arrange travel around the country (probably done at least ten different trips); I can not recommend this company more. The drivers have all been phenomenal, especially Sidath, Chana, and Chin. They are all such safe and patient drivers and also have helped us book tickets to different sights, personally walked with us to said sights, and have provided a wealth of historical and cultural information on Sri Lanka. The booking arrangements with Genuine have always been smooth and straightforward and the drivers always arrive on time for pick-up. The vehicles are comfortable and come in a variety of sizes. Recently, when a family member had a medical emergency while in a remote area of the country, our driver Sidath drove through the night to ensure they were taken to an appropriate hospital for their condition. Additionally the owner of the company personally reached out to us to ensure we had everything we needed and Sidath even followed up the next day to check in and see how everyone was doing even though our tour was over at this point. I cannot be any more grateful for all they did to ensure my family member was well taken care of and their concern and assistance meant so much to me.

Great experience in 8hours day trip to Colombo
I started our day trip in Colombo with Chana, a enthusiastic and kind guide and driver. He arrived early, greeting me with a smile and a comfortable car ready to take me on a whirlwind tour. As he guided all suggested spots in Colombo, Chana filled the ride with fascinating stories about Colombo's history and culture. If you have a 6-7 hours of transit in Colombo, this would be perfect!

An unforgettable first time visit to Sri Lanka
I decided to use Genuine Sri Lankan Tours after a recommendation from a friend, and I am so glad I did! As a solo traveler, I wanted to visit the country and explore with ease of mind of travelling around safely, without any hassle of public transport. I was not disappointed, my guide Chanaka was amazing and took me across Sigiriya - Kandy - Ella - Unawatuna and Galle in a week. I managed to see all I wanted to, and also fitted in extra stops at places Chanaka recommended which was amazing! Chanaka is very knowledgeable, it was so interesting to learn about the culture and history of Sri Lanka. I cannot thank Chanaka enough :) I would highly recommend using this company, and will be returning again - next time with a group visit. Thanks again! Jade

Be happy
I toured Buddhist ruins with my mother for 10 days. At first, I was very worried about renting a car and traveling by myself, but I decided to get help as i was not confident enough to travel to the northern regions such as Jaffna and Nagadeepa. Ms Sharon was very professional and warmly helpful from beginning to end, always reliable and reassuring. It was my first time traveling to Sri Lanka, so I had a lot of questions before the trip, and she always gave friendly and quick answers. And the guide, Mr. Darshana, who was with us, always showed up earlier than the scheduled time from the first meeting to the last day, and took special care to avoid any danger. So I always felt reassured . I was really happy to be able to go to Adams Bridge, where all myths, legends, and history meet. And I can't forget a day in Polonnaruwa, where we were greeted by a cute and wonderful lake and playful monkeys. If I had driven it myself, I am sure I would have been exhausted and not been able to enjoy the trip properly. Sri Lanka is a pearl-like country with a brilliant history of over 2,500 years. I think the current situation in Sri Lanka is just a temporary long vacation period. I have no doubt that one day it will transform into a powerful country that no one can stop. I would like to thank all the Sri Lankans who were so kind and friendly. Bye~

Excellent tour with fantastic itinerary
Our guide, Chanaka, was waiting for the 8 of us at our cruise ship-having taken the extra effort to secure permits to pick us up in a working port in Colombo. Our 12 1/2 hour tour was comfortable in a large van with great AC. Chanaka readily answered our questions and provided water as needed. We visited a turtle hatchery, a Moonstone Mine, explored the Madu River by boat, and toured Galle, including a great walking tour of the Fortress and the Koggala areas. Even when rain came, our guide encouraged the famous stilt fishermen to do a little fishing for our photos. We arrived back at port exactly as scheduled after our very long day. The price was very reasonable, the company worked to meet our needs and I highly recommend them. Be sure to tell them whether you want a “tourist” lunch or a local lunch and prepare to have a great day!!

Private driver Chinthanka
We have had the pleasure of having Chin as our driver for more that 1.000 kilometers troughout Sri Lanka, over the course of the last 10 days. From the first time we saw him in Columbo airport, he has been nothing but smiles and service. The way he goes above and beyond with the role as a driver is remarkable. He has throughout the trip been a very good sparring partner, giving us experiences we didn't know we wanted and saving us money in the process. It seems like he knows people where ever we go. Perhaps he does, or perhaps it's just his amazing people skills. We are traveling with a boy of seven, and they just bonded right away. Our kid is shy, but Chin got trough that almost immediately No matter how many times during the day we have changed our minds, of what to do during the day, he just accepted it and advised from the new premises. This trip is our first with a private driver, and Chin has made sure that it won't be our last. It is not a new car, as there is a import band from the government, however it's roomie and with A/C Included on board is free wifi (unless you are out of reach of all signal on the island) We don't know what more to say other than if you get Chinthanka as your driver, you will have an amazing time and should consider yourself very lucky.

Great your group
We used Genuine Sri Lankans Tours for the start of our stay in Sri Lanka collecting us fro. The airport, to spen 3 days around the cultural triangle and finishing up at our hotel in Kandy. The whole experience was really easy to organise, and our guide Chanaka took excellent care if us from helping us get a local sim card at the airport, to taking in all the sights we wanted to see, even stopping off at points of interest we hadn't heard of. The company came recommended to me by somebody that used them 10 years ago, and their excellent service continues to this day.
