5.00We spent 14 days with Kosala as driver and this was a great choice! He was not just a driver, he was a guide to learn everything you want to know about his country, from culture to religion and history. He was always punctual and a positive person with good vibes. He can also give you any kind of suggestions to create the best itinerary! Kosala made our trip unforgettable and we look forward to returning to Sri Lanka! We really want to recommend it! Thank you Kosala!
Great guide!

5.00We were a group of 7 adults and 5 children visiting Sri Lanka for the first time. Kosala took great care of us during the trip. With that charismatic grin and bellyful laugh, he showed tonnes of patience with us, and our noisy kids! He would gladly share about local history and culture, as well as personal life experiences. He also did a fantastic job coordinating our numerous requests - restaurants, places of interests and hotels/airbnb - making sure that our journey was smooth. Even though we travelled during the rainy season, his team would manage the navigation seamlessly, ensuring our safety and avoided any delays. Thanks Kosala!

5.00We spent 15 days in Sri Lanka, 11 of which with Kosala, we couldn't have made a better choice. Kosala is an excellent driver, always punctual, calm and smiling. His car is very comfortable, well maintained and always keeps it clean. We found a person who loves his job and his country, always accommodating to our every request, he provided us with a lot of information and useful suggestions, telling us along the way many things about his country, his people, their customs, their history... Thanks to him we were able to immerse ourselves totally in the country, capturing its true essence. We could never have imagined that choosing Kosala as our driver would be so incredible, we left Sri Lanka greatly enriched and we can't wait to return again. If you choose Kosala you will find a very good person but, above all, a friend at the end of your trip. Thanks Kosala
Wonderful days in Sri Lanka with the best driver

5.00Kosala has been the first person to welcome me in Sri Lanka and I knew since the beginning that my time with him would have been special. A part from being a very safe and punctual driver, he is one of the most interesting and caring person I've met on my journeys. I also had the chance to meet his family and spent some time with one of his sons, which was a gift. Totally recommended! I met him as a driver, I left him as a very good friend.
Best Driver and Tour Guide, cannot recommend him enough!!

5.00Kosala is an incredible driver, guide, and person. He made our trip to Sri Lanka so special and memorable. It was evident that he truly wanted us to have the best experience and on multiple occasions went out of his way to ensure that we did! We cannot be happier with our time and the service we received, and feel that we left Sri Lanka with a new friend. We booked him for transport on specific days of our trip, but he also does multi-day tours. His prices were fair and transparent, he was always on time and ready, and helped us arrange tours and plan our time. He has a wealth of knowledge on Sri Lankan history, culture, and sites, and answered all of our many questions. We felt that we had a deeper understanding of Sri Lanka because of him! Don't hesitate to book tours or transportation with Kosala!!
Best Driver/Tour Guide in Sri Lanka!!

5.00We have just spent the last 4 days with Kosala travelling around the Cultural Triangle, and we genuinely felt very sad to say goodbye to him today when he dropped us at our next destination in Kandy. Not only is Kosala an excellent driver and guide, he is also the nicest, most warm hearted person you will meet! His communication is excellent and speaks with perfect English - he was even helping us learn a few Sri Lankan words as we travelled around. Kosala drove us around the Cultural Triangle, explaining everything as we went. He has great knowledge of all of the area and various sites, but also knows so much about the local wildlife - we were lucky enough to see an assortment of animals whilst driving with him from elephants to pythons due to Kosala’s very good eye! Kosala’s car was very comfortable and always immaculately clean, a pleasure to be driven around in! We really cannot recommend Kosala high enough - do not hesitate to book with him, you will not regret it!
Kosala, the driver you need

5.00We called on Kosala several times for transfers between different cities during our trip to Sri Lanka. He even made himself available at the last minute following the cancellation of our train. His driving is very pleasant and we felt totally safe. His advice and information were particularly interesting and allowed us to enjoy our Sri Lankan stay even more. The exchanges we had were particularly interesting. We strongly advise his services and thank him again!
Great experience

5.00I highly recommend Kosala to anyone interested in exploring Sri Lanka. Kosala was recommended to me by a friend who visited Sri Lanka 4 years ago, and she was also very satisfied. It was the first time I ever traveled with a private driver and it turned out to be the best idea, he was a great driver/ guide and at the same time very friendly, kidly person! He was very reliable and helpful. Kosala is knowledgeable about the country and recommened us many interesting places to visit. There's so much to see and do, and with Kosala's help the trip would be so much more enjoyable as you don't have to worry about all the logistics. He recommened us markets to visit, restaurants, trips and also places to stay when the hotel was not ok ... Great experience!!!
Very friendly and professional. Highly recommended!

5.00After doing extensive research online, we decided to book Kosala to be our driver for 3 days as part of our visit to Sri Lanka. This turned out to be an excellent decision. Kosala was highly professional, punctual and drove safely. His car was clean and well looked after. Most of all, Kosala was always very friendly and went above and beyond to help us and make it a memorable trip.
