18 days on tour in Sri Lanka: We recommend Ruwan 100% and would use him again without any hesitation.

Reviewed August 27, 2015

Our family (2 adults and 2 teenager girls) just finished a 17 days trip with Ruwan as our driver and guide. We covered a large part of Sri Lanka and would like to provide our sincere feedback about our experiences. To put it in one word: EXCELLENT! We have travelled extensively in Asia before and know how difficult it can be to find a person you can rely on when it comes to providing services for tourists. Very often commercial interests are mixed with genuine service delivery and it can be difficult to separate the sincere guys from the not so good guys. So looking for a good driver and guide in Sri Lanka is certainly not easy. There are dozens if not hundreds of offerings on the internet, and most of them are around USD 50.00 per day. We have been very fortunate to find Ruwan. He combines many important qualities that we expected for our vacation: he is a safe and cautious driver, is very knowledgable about the history, culture and nature of Sri Lanka (in addition to be our driver he also doubled up as official guide), speaks very good English, is always punctual, has a good sense of humour and has a very nice personality. Everything we had agreed on in advance worked out perfectly. Ruwan even phoned us a few days before our arrival to reconfirm that everything was still on schedule.The pick-ups from and to the airport worked well, we completed without stress our daily programs, we always got good advices about last minute alternative itinerary options and always got on time to the hotels we had reserved in advance. Running his own company, Ruwan is very attentionate to your needs, keeps his car in very good condition and is genuinely interested in providing good services. If we ever come back to Sri Lanka we would choose Ruwan's services again without hesitation. In that sense we recommend Ruwan 100%.

Fantastic Holiday with Ruwan

Reviewed August 14, 2015

My Wife and I enjoyed 11 days traveling around Sri Lanka with Ruwan as our Driver / Guide. We chose Ruwan from reviews we found online and we were extremely happy with our choice. We simply did all our own research online and booked all of our Hotel accommodation online and just emailed our itinerary to Ruwan. He was kind enough to share his local knowledge and make some alternative suggestions to our plans, when he noticed that we had arranged a day that would ultimately take about 12 hours of driving. We made a slight change, based on this advise. From the Moment he picked us up at the airport, to the end of our Holiday, Ruwan was always punctual, and informative about all the passing landmarks and the history of his Country. Ruwan is also an accredited Safari Guide and you'll enjoy his knowledge of the wildlife that you encounter when you do a Safari Jeep tour in some of the National Parks in Sri Lanka We found his pricing to be very fair and reasonable. His English was completely conversational. and he had a great sense of humor. His Driving was very good and his Car was very comfortable indeed. We recommend Ruwan from Ruwan Trips 100% for anyone thinking about visiting this amazing country Thanks Mate Scott & Stephanie

5-star tour and tour guide for Sri Lanka

Reviewed March 16, 2015

We had a wonderful honeymoon trip with Ruwan. The communication via email from my initial contact was superb and Ruwan's service lived up to our wildest dreams. The transport (a Toyota Prius) was very comfortable at all times and Ruwan's local and historical knowledge are amazing. He made our trip in truth and we would have been lost without him and his superb service. If you ever visit Sri Lanka and need a tour guide, Ruwan is the only person to contact.

Memorable trip to Sri Lanka

Reviewed March 13, 2015

Ruwan is an excellent tour guide with years of experience and hence vast knowledge about Sri Lanka. He was instrumental in making our Sri Lanka trip hassle-free right from airport pick-up to drop-off. His services are also very reasonably priced. I strongly recommend him as a tour guide for Sri Lanka.
