How a private driver tour works
Tell us your arrival date, how many people are travelling and the places you'd like to see. We suggest a route with sensible driving times, and you can change anything before or during the trip.
Your driver picks you up at the airport or your hotel and stays with you for the whole tour. You only pay for the private vehicle and driver — not per person.
Why travellers choose a private driver
- No group tours or fixed timetables — stop where you like
- Door-to-door travel with your luggage in the vehicle
- A local who knows the roads, the food stops and the quieter viewpoints
- Easy to combine with train rides, safaris and beach days
Driver or tourist guide?
Your driver is a private chauffeur, not a government-licensed tourist guide. Drivers can share local knowledge on the road; at major sites such as Sigiriya or the Temple of the Tooth you can hire an official licensed guide at the entrance.
