          Tuk tuks in Colombo
          There were a group of 8 of us and I booked the tuk tuk trip before travelling. My husband is a wheelchair user so we also hired another tuk tuk for this to be driven around for us. Althaf Was our driver and he was knowledgable, good fun and lovely to have as a guide. He made our tour interesting and fun and listened to what we wanted to do, instead of insisting on a set itinerary that some companies insist of making you complete (jewellery shops, fabric shops etc). He fully appreciated the limitations of my husband and respected the fact that, at times, he didn’t want to fully explore at a stop off but I did. He balanced this incredibly well. Our wheelchair was well cared for in the other tuk tuk and we arrived back at the port in plenty of time for our cruise departure time. I’d thoroughly recommend this tour.

          Awesome tour guides
          Our guides, Althaf and Ruhuman, were exceptional. They drove us from Colombo to Sigiriya to Kandy to Nurawa Eliya to Ella and back to Colombo and they did so under challenging driving conditions and always with amazing skills, good spirits, kindness and care for us. We are so grateful for them. We saw so much and we had an incredible experience thanks to these two wonderful guides. We will remember them and our fantastic time in beautiful Sri Lanka forever.

          Warm and personalized treatment
          Warm and friendly drivers. Went out of their way to make our journey unique and wonderful. They even went and got medicine when I got sick. Remember to bring cash with you as some places dont take cards.

          My wife and i booked a 16 day holiday with Secret Escapes to Sri Lanka in January 2025.We had already been to India and South Africa with them so was looking forward to it.Well it lived up to our expectations.What a lovely country and wonderful people.We crammed a lot of sight seeing over the two weeks and stayed at lovely hotels.A special mention of thanks to our driver Felix Fernando.What a star.He drove us all over the island and told us the history of all the places we visited.He told us about trees ,plants and wildlife.I doubt if any knows more about Sri Lanka than Felix.I would definitely recommend Sri Lanka to visit.Ask for Felix to be your driver.

          Wonderful tour operator. It is a private tour. Very affordable and the driver was very friendly. The manager who manages this is kind and helpful. Definitely recommended. Right from pickup to drop at the hotel was smoothly planned and executed.

          A Paradise To Remember !
          We are a group of 28 travelers from different countries who joined for a reunion after years and we are more than happy that we choose Kingfisher as our local tour operator. The Hotels, itinerary and their perfect way of organising things really made us stress free and the enjoyment we got in this paradise Sri Lanka is a lifetime memory for all of us. Special thanks to Aashik who organised the tour perfectly according to our needs and our guide Nalaka who is really helpful in explaining the beauty of Sri Lanka, cheering us up all throughout the tour along with singing songs and dancing. He was very knowledgeable and he loves Sri Lanka alot as the way he explained each part we visited and the knowledge of every roads is topnotch. All the hotels we got are highly recommended because of the views, location, cleanliness and staffs who provided and exceptional service for the group during our stay The coach was also very comfortable and the people all around Sri Lanka we met are very kind, this is truly a paradise and we need more time to explore the beauty of this wonderful island We will come back soon again and will never hesitate to contact this company. Highly Recommended 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

          Exploring Srilanka
          I recently visited Sigiriya, Kandy, and Nuwara Eliya. The trip was safe and comfortable led by a knowledgeable guide. While we didn’t visit the iconic Sigiriya Rock Fortress this time, the village experience in Sigiriya was truly memorable. However, I feel that Sigiriya Rock is a must see and should be included in future itineraries. Kandy impressed with its cultural heritage, while Nuwara Eliya’s cool climate and landscapes were beutiful. The hotel in Kandy was decent, though it didn’t quite match the quality of the one in Nuwara Eliya. Sri Lanka truly has a diverse array of flavors to offer, blending history, culture, and natural beauty!

          SriLanka tour well managed by Kingfisher.
          We booked with Kingfisher Sri Lanka Tours after reading positive reviews and were glad we did. The itinerary was well-planned and executed with necessary improvisation! We were provided spacious, comfortable vehicle. Our driver, Ishan, was knowledgeable, accommodating, and passionate—making the journey smooth and enjoyable. Aashiq’s support and flexibility in adjusting the itinerary enhanced the trip further. However, hotel selections could be improved, especially in locations like Mirissa, Sigiriya and Colombo! The initial guide didn’t stand the expectations and was sent back, Ishan did the job. With minor adjustments, Kingfisher Tours can offer a good experience. Thanks to Ishan and Aashiq for their efforts!

          I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city.
          The Kingfisher One-Day Colombo City Tour is an excellent option for anyone looking to explore the essence of Colombo. It was well-organized and insightful tour, perfect for exploring the city, covering key attractions. It combines convenience, insightful storytelling, and a well-rounded itinerary, making it ideal for first-time visitors.

          Lifetime memory !
          We are a group of 17 adults and 5 kids booked our family reunion in Sri Lanka with kingfisher tours srilanka We had an amazing experience as everything went very well and smooth. We were greeted with garlands of flowers at the airport and our guide Mahesh was with a nice smile on his face for our startup, the vehicle was big and we had enough space for legs. Throughout the tour Aashik, the manager was in touch always to check weather we are okay and they are very flexible for all our needs. our guide Mahesh was very knowledgeable and polite, he even sang some srilankan songs to cheer us up. He explained every places we visited and the hotels are in a super attractive locations with great customer service and geographical locations We were sad to leave this beautiful island after our 14 days of travel but we will definitely come back soon induvidually or group to explore more from what this island offers. Sri Lanka is truly a paradise and without Kingfisher Tours Sri Lanka we wouldn’t have made it !!

          COLUMBO CITY TOUR
          Ferose was my driver and guide for my tour, he was an excellent driver and guide, made the tour, with his knowledge and helpfulness, nothing was too much for him, always checking that I was ok and whether there was anything I wanted to see or need. The tour was absolutely great, and Ferose made it so, Can highly recommend this tour, very interesting, well worth the time and cost. Finally a big thank you to my original contact with Kingfisher Tours, who, after a false start, got the tour re-organised,many thanks.🤗

        I bought a tour to the 3 Ancient Capitals of Sri Lanka that I thought it is going to be guided by a regular guide.
        The price was reasonable but by surprise, instead of having a guided tour we just had a driver to drive us to the places we visited.
        We could visit the 3 Ancient Capitals as the tour promised but we had to take a local guide to explain us the history.
        The car was clean an new, the driver was polite and very punctual.

        Thank you so much for your possitive review :) By the way please do understand that we have already said you about the places and in some places we could not guide you for the full history as you asked to explain more and more on the historical places so we said you that we will explain the main stuffs we know and for the extra you may take a private guide where you can hire at the spot only for that and you agreed, we also gave you a brief historical note on the places you visited to know more about :) Please note that all our guides are professional and talkative we are hopefully waiting to serve you better with Kingfisher Hospitality more and more See you soon !

        There were a number of ancient temples off the beaten track which I wished to visit in the northern half of Sri Lanka. While trains and buses get you to main hubs, the sites I wanted to visit were only accessible by car, and some like the Pidurangala Rock for a 5am sunrise hike necessitated special arrangements. I found Kingfisher Tours thru TRIPADVISOR and these guys really turned out to be a lifesaver for my trip. They were totally accommodating and flexible and able to offer me a tour guide for my desired itinerary on last minute notice. The car was roomy with good a/c/ and the guide spoke English and offered information on all of the regions we drove through, sharing a true love for their country. Because of their willingness to go the extra mile, I was able to squeeze in with ample roam time - sites around Dambulla, Sigiriya, Pollonaruwa, and Anuradhapura. There was no time wasted on fake tourist oriented visits and when I wanted to add a few extra visits, they were amenable to the last minute changes. We also got to see some wild elephants from afar on the road alongside the national parks which astride the area.

        Most hotels offer accommodation for the drivers so you can choose your own hotels and determine the whole schedule according to your needs. This a a great feature from tour group trips which set your schedule and give you no choice. I prefer to tailor my own wanderings around the country. Thanks a lot, Kingfisher! Will definitely use you guys again!

        Just finished this tour and had a marvelous time. The driver was very flexible and highlighted the things I wanted to see most to personalize my trip. It was also nice being able to book my own hotels so I knew exactly what I was getting. After the bombings in Colombo a curfew was imposed and I couldn't get online for a few days but other than that it didn't impact my trip. There is a noticeable presence of the military and police force at tourist destinations which gave a sense of security.

        I joined three days ancient city tour with the guide Dushantha. He was always safety driving and kindly guiding me everywhere we went. He is the greatest guide! I really enjoyed thanks to his all help. His advice always helped me. I enjoyed talking with him during the tour. He know various activities, very tasty local foods and especially good fruits. I never forget this trip in Sri Lanka. I definitely recommend this tour.

        3日間の古都都市ツアーはとても素晴らしかったです。今回訪れたポロンナルワ、アヌラーダプラ、シーギリアは、一人ではアクセスが困難な場所ですが、このツアーで全て効率よく回ることができました。

        ガイドドライバーのDushanthaさんは、とても親切な人で良かったです。いつも安全運転で、とても丁寧に対応してくれました。おいしいレストランやたくさんのアクティビティを紹介してくれたおかげで、想像以上にスリランカを満喫できました。スリランカの仏教の遺跡は本当にきれいで、訪れることができて良かったです。Dushanthaさんのおかげで、忘れられない旅になりました。
        スリランカに行く人に、このツアーを是非おすすめしたいです。
