Based on 22 reviews INCREDIBLE ! We had an amazing week in Sri Lanka with Suma. He drove us to all the places we wanted to see. It was incredible!Laura A Shan is a magician!🧙♂️ El viaje fue perfecto! Empezamos en Negombo y fuimos parando donde quisimos con recomendaciones de Shan hasta acabar en Mirilla. Él se ajustaba a lo que nosotros queríamos sin imponernos visitas 'obligtorias'. Shan es un máquina y conoce a mucha gente allá donde parábamos, lo que facilita mucho las cosas. Si quieres que tú viaje sea divertido y profesional, Shan es tu hombre. Shan is the man!🦁Chema G Shanaka hizo nuestro viaje magico Somos una pareja que acaba de regresar de un viaje de 17 días por Sri Lanka y no queríamos dejar de compartir una parte fundamental de nuestra experiencia: la persona que lo hizo posible, nuestro conductor Shanaka. Shanaka no solo llevó el coche, sino que organizó con nosotros la ruta, ajustándola a nuestro ritmo y a nuestros intereses. Gracias a él pudimos ver todo lo que queríamos sin prisas, disfrutando de cada lugar con calma y sintiéndonos siempre seguros. Conduce muy bien, conoce cada rincón de su país y a muchísima gente, y siempre encontraba la manera de hacernos sentir cómodos. Además, puede encargarse también de grupos más grandes, no solo de parejas como nosotros. Eso sí, hay que tener en cuenta que en Sri Lanka la conducción tiene ciertos riesgos: el tráfico puede ser caótico, los autobuses conducen como locos y, en algunas zonas, incluso puede aparecer algún elefante en medio de la carretera 🐘. Pero con Shanaka, el boss, nos sentimos siempre tranquilos y seguros. Lo que más nos sorprendió fue su gran humanidad. En estos días no fue solo un conductor: fue un compañero de viaje. Nos abrió las puertas de su vida, hasta el punto de invitarnos a comer en casa de sus padres, una experiencia que jamás olvidaremos. Y todavía nos tenía preparada una sorpresa final que guardaremos en la memoria con muchísimo cariño. Algo que valoramos mucho es que supo encontrar el equilibrio perfecto: siempre estaba disponible cuando lo necesitábamos, pero también nos dio espacio para disfrutar por nuestra cuenta. Incluso el último día, sin poner una sola pega, nos llevó al aeropuerto a las 5 de la mañana. Además, habla inglés, lo que facilita muchísimo la comunicación durante el viaje. En resumen: profesional, atento, servicial sin ser invasivo, y sobre todo, una gran persona. Sri Lanka nos ha enamorado, y en buena parte ha sido gracias a Shanaka, nuestro boss particular en la carretera. 🙏🇱🇰 Muchas gracias,Shanaka!!Carlos Victor B Unforgettable Sri Lanka Experience with Shan – Highly Recommend! We had the most incredible time exploring Sri Lanka with our tour guide, Shan. From start to finish, he went above and beyond to make our trip seamless, enjoyable, and truly unforgettable. Shan was not only professional and organised, but also incredibly friendly, chatty, and warm. He tailored the entire experience to suit our expectations and requests, always remaining flexible and accommodating. On top of that, he added so many authentic Sri Lankan experiences we wouldn’t have discovered on our own — and those were the highlights of the trip. We visited beautiful temples, explored fresh food markets, and even got to experience a field-to-table cooking demonstration — all thanks to Shan’s thoughtful planning. He took us to a turtle sanctuary, helped us feed wild turtles in their natural habitat, arranged for a surfing session, and made sure we didn’t miss the iconic train ride from Kandy to Ella. We also visited farms and truly got to connect with the culture and local way of life. He always had our safety and comfort as a top priority, and was especially supportive with my parents, who aren’t frequent travellers. His kindness, patience, and genuine care made a huge difference and helped them feel confident and relaxed throughout the trip. Shan didn’t just show us the country — he helped us experience it. We feel incredibly lucky to have had him as our guide and would recommend him to anyone visiting Sri Lanka. If you want a guide who is passionate, knowledgeable, fun, and truly cares — Shan the man is your guy!Aileen F A True Gem in Sri Lanka — Shan Went Above and Beyond We were recommended Shan through friends and it was the best thing we could have done! Travelling as a family of five (three girls and our parents), we had diverse interests and preferences, so we were looking for someone who could help us organise a trip that worked for everyone — including alternatives if someone wanted to opt out of an activity. Organising the trip with Shan was an absolute breeze. Everything was done over WhatsApp — Shan offered suggestions based on what we said we’d enjoy, along with options for accommodation. He put together a full, exciting itinerary for our 9-day trip, covering Colombo, Sigiriya, Kandy, Ella, Yala, and Galle. From the moment we landed, Shan took care of everything — airport pick-up, driving us across the country, booking our stays, and making sure we were settled at each hotel. He even advised us on tipping, budgeting, and where to eat (taking into account our different food preferences and intolerances). He built up a trust - we knew we were in safe hands. Also to note - there was an issue with jeep transport for the Safari trip - Shan ensured we had an alternative jeep ready for a 5am start! Shan was friendly, easygoing, and really felt like part of the family. He brought us to some of Sri Lanka’s hidden gems that we would never have found on our own. There were so many highlights from the trip — it’s hard to even pick a favourite. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We still have the North of SriLanka to see - and would reach out to Shan again.afox11 Amazing trip in Sri Lanka We had an amazing experience on our tour of Sri Lanka thanks to Shan. He is a professional and fun guide. He expertly navigated us through the country's must-see sights, sharing insightful stories and historical context that brought each location to life. His driving was impeccable, ensuring our safety and comfort throughout the trip. He offered us recommendations for local cuisine and hidden gems that we would have otherwise missed. His flexibility and attentiveness to our needs made every day seamless and enjoyable. We would highly recommend him to anyone planning a trip to Sri Lanka. He truly embodies the spirit of Sri Lankan hospitality.Paula v South Sri Lanka with Shan Shan drove us around Southern Sri Lanka for five days in April 2025. He was absolutely top class in every way. He is an excellent driver, a good guide in that he knows the area and will suggest things to do and see many of which you won't see about or hear of in blogs or to do lists and speaks very good English. He is an excellent timekeeper and is happy to go at whatever pace suits. Shan is great fun to be with sharing stories and also giving great background information on Sri Lanka itself. It's people and their way of life. He's really flexible and will go out of his way to ensure you enjoy your trip . He is most helpful in small ways also, helping my wife , who is nervous of slopes and steep steps, negotiate steps and steeper hill. You will have a great trip with Shan. Tell him the things you like and he will find it for you and become as one of your group. It was a pleasure to travel with you Shan. You will find nobody better The photos are all of places Shan took us. Frank April '25.Trail66924363891 Experiencia inolvidable, muy agradecidas por el servicio ofrecido por Shan Shan no solo es un profesional haciendo su trabajo, si no que se ha convertido en una parte fundamental de nuestro viaje, del que nos acordaremos con nostalgia como de Sri Lanka. Gracias a él hemos podido conocer todos los rincones, turísticos y no tan turísticos del país, siempre acomodándose a nuestras preferencias y con la máxima flexibilidad posible. Al principio del viaje le propusimos un itinerario el cual ha seguido sugiriéndonos posibles modificaciones con el objetivo de mejorar nuestra experiencia. Creemos que un driver, y en especial Shan, es necesario para conocer en profundidad Sri Lanka en pocos días. Nos hemos sentido cómodas desde el primer hasta el último minuto, gracias a que ha sido muy servicial, atento, responsable, además de su simpatía. Volvemos a España enamoradas del país y muy agradecidas por el servicio ofrecido por Shan. Shan is not only a professional at his job, but he has become a fundamental part of our trip, which we will remember with nostalgia as if it were Sri Lanka. Thanks to him we have been able to get to know all the tourist and not so touristy corners of the country, always accommodating our preferences and with the maximum possible flexibility. At the beginning of the trip we proposed an itinerary to him and he has continued to suggest possible modifications in order to improve our experience. We believe that a driver, especially Shan, is necessary to get to know Sri Lanka in depth in a few days. We have felt comfortable from the first to the last minute, thanks to his helpfulness, attentiveness, responsibility, as well as his sympathy. We return to Spain in love with the country and very grateful for the service offered by Shan.Tirena Great tour with a great guy! I booked a tour for a week with Shanaka. Besides being a very good and save driver, Shanaka knows his country very well and was able to give detailed information on the various sites we visited. He has the ability to grasp what his clients are interested in and caters to their wishes and interests. I had a fantastic week with Shanaka and in a short time learnt a lot about Sri Lanka and its people. I felt well cared for and had an great and fun time. Thank you so much Shanaka! If you want a knowlegable and fun guide Shanaka is the man for you!Viviana Beautiful time in Sri Lanka Had a great time with great guidance.
