Sri Lanka a very special country - First time to Sri Lanka. It was the best decision we made in 2024. It couldn't have been better. The guided tour was amazing. We got to know so many nice and friendly new people and they showed us everything about their culture and way of life. We have experienced and seen so much in the 10 days that we will talk about it many times and share our experiences with friends and acquaintances. Sri Lanka is really a wonderful country with many different impressions, from mountains, forests, beaches, sites, rice fields, orchards, cultivation of spice trees etc. You cannot put all the wealth of this country into words. Our driver Kumara told us a lot about the 10 days and we were able to change the program ourselves if it was too much for us. Everything was possible, whether shopping, swimming, hiking, eating well. He fulfilled every wish and always made sure we were doing really well. We felt really comfortable and never insecure. He always drove safely, in the hectic road conditions and always brought us safely to our destination. We would do it again and again, you don't have to think about anything and has a dream stay in Sri Lanka. If you have the opportunity, Sri Lanka is a must do on any travel list. We would like to thank the whole team and enjoy the time in Sri Lanka. Carina and Theresa

More than just a driver! - Gihan accompanied us for nine days and not only drove us through Sri Lanka but also showed us the country. He always made us feel safe. Often, Gihan accompanied us, for example, on the safari tour or hikes. This led to a kind of friendship that lasted throughout the entire vacation. Gihan is truly recommended to everyone—not only as a well-organized driver but also as a helpful, friendly travel companion.

Uncomplicated and flawless from A to Z - All around great service! Booking with GSLT is super fast and uncomplicated via email, we were sent a travel suggestion and we could still make individual adjustments. When we arrived in Colombo our driver Kumara was already waiting for us at the airport and the journey started. We saw and experienced so many great things and always felt 100% safe with Kumara, he flexibly adapted the travel program according to weather and day form of us which was great. Also the hotels, safaris etc were all reserved by GSLT and at events we had always got the best seats. I can really highly recommend GSLt if you plan a carefree trip to Sri Lanka and still want to see a lot.

Just wow! - Through the recommendation of my brother, we also decided on a guided trip with Gihan. This decision was not regretted for a second. The preliminary meeting went smoothly and always with new tips from Gihans. His travel recommendations before the trip and also during the trip were a 10/10. We could always rely on him, he was always available and above all Gihan took care of us every minute (like a dad). Importantly, however, he always gave us space and we never felt guilty if we wanted to stay somewhere longer. We felt very safe and had a lot of fun with him. If I travel to Sri Lanka again one day, it will be 100% with Gihan!!!🫶🏻 Thanks for the great memories!

Gihan is truly the best driver in Sir Lanka! - Best Driver in Sri Lanka! Gihan is not only a driver, he is a tour guide, support network (something goes wrong), translator and now also a good friend! We are incredibly happy that we decided to hire a driver, not only because of the traffic in Sri Lanka, but also because you get a complete package with Gihan. Gihan is committed and helps you with everything that happens. Whether planning the tour, organizing a new hotel or negotiating prices in the market. It couldn't have been better for us! You notice that Gihan also has the experience to choose the right activities + (very important) to find the right time for it. (e.g. when to go to Lions Rock to avoid the crowds of tourists) We mostly planned our trip ourselves, but then made a few changes with Gihan on site (on his Recommendation) that were really an asset. We once had problems with a hotel and then did not feel comfortable there and when we called Gihan he was 15min later at the door with several recommendations for other hotels nearby. All in all, we are very happy that we took a driver and that it was Gihan! Is really recommended to everyone! Thank you for everything! Max, Zeno and Flo from Austria

5 days with Ashen/GTSL - My son and I booked a 5-day tour. I planned the tour from home in advance with Gihan by email. He responded to all our wishes with great ideas and was very quick and uncomplicated in replying and very patient with me :) Ashen was our driver and companion during the excursions. He is a great and fine person, was very empathetic with my son and very flexible with last minute changes of plans. The wonderfully selected accommodation, the safari and the cooking class were a highlight for us! We went backpacker style and treated ourselves to this 5-day tour in the middle of the trip and we didn't regret anything! If you are looking for a great, dedicated team with a lot of local history and warmth, then book with GTSL!

12 out of 10 points for Gihan Tours! - We made an 8-day Sri Lankan round trip with Gihan Tours (Yala - Ella - Kandy - Sigiriya - Passikuda - and can recommend a round trip with him 150%. Gihan was not only always super friendly, punctual and extremely safe to travel, but also learned us a lot about country and people. He was there for us 24/7 and supported us always and everywhere (change money, get tickets, book tours etc. etc.). Even our 10-year-old son was absolutely enthusiastic about Gihan and had a lot of fun with him. Whether nausea in the car, or assistance with rock climbing - Gihan was always and everywhere a huge Help center for us. We had planned the itinerary together with Gihan in advance and agreed a total price that was adhered to exactly to the euro. No hidden costs. Also the answers of my felt 17 question emails in advance (: were included in it. Even short-term adjustments of the tour (e.g. change of the daily schedule) were no problem. Especially with children in our view an important point. During our round trip we saw many other travelers with other providers. Partly broken cars (with which we would not have dared to ride), partly extra costs or unreliability. We can heartily recommend anyone - especially families with children - to discover Sri Lanka with Gihan Tours and thus play it safe. "There are providers" - especially on Facebook & Co, who charge prices around USD 50.00 for a day's round trip - but accordingly is the service, comfort and especially the safety!!!! We were able to convince ourselves of this on site. 😱 Long story - in short - we give it 12 out of 10 points for Gihan Tours. 🤗 Thank you for the unforgettable Sri Lankan experience that will accompany us for a long time to come. For the many magical places and the many information about the country and people. But above all for the fun, safe and unforgettable tour! Greetings from Vienna.
