Why many travellers hire a private chauffeur guide in Sri Lanka, what is usually included, and questions to ask before you book.

Why hire a chauffeur guide

Distances in Sri Lanka look short on a map but roads are slow and winding. A chauffeur guide drives, explains the history and handles hotels, timing and local advice so you can relax.

What is usually included

Our tours include a private air-conditioned car, an English speaking chauffeur guide and hotels on half board. Entrance fees, tips, lunches and personal expenses are normally paid separately.

Questions to ask before booking

Ask about languages spoken, years of experience, vehicle type, what is included, how flexible the plan is and how to reach the guide during the trip. Our lead guide H T Pradeep Perera has 26 years of experience and speaks English and Italian.

Flexibility matters

A good guide lets you change plans: stay longer somewhere you love or skip a stop. All Deep Sri Lanka itineraries are fully customisable.
