Travel Right Sri Lanka Reviews 20

I had an excellent and unbeatable experience with this company providing drivers and tourist packages for Sri Lanka. I worked with Hirosh who was truly outstanding — incredibly kind, honest, and genuinely a good person. From the start, he worked with us with integrity and fairness, offering very reasonable rates and always giving accurate, transparent advice. Our safety was clearly his top priority at all times. He was extremely professional, took the time to research options for us, and consistently provided what I believe is the best information out there along with the best possible prices. We were even able to see the Cleopatra leopard in Wilpattu, a one-of-a-kind unforgettable experience. It’s rare to find someone so trustworthy and thoughtful, and I highly recommend this company to anyone traveling in Sri Lanka.

I travelled to Sri Lanka with my friend for a wedding in Jaffna late January and was put in touch by the bride’s family with Hirosh from Travel Right Sri Lanka to arrange a driver for our stay. Hirosh was so helpful in advising on our ideas for the itinerary, and worked with our preferences at every step. We were picked up by Kavindu in Negombo and proceeded with an 8+ hour drive up to Jaffna. For such a long trip with someone we’ve just met, Kavindu made us feel immediately welcome and at ease, with great conversation, curated music, and anything we needed en route. Along the way, Kavindu was always careful to point out sites of interest, share about Sri Lanka’s history, culture, and most of all - ecology and wildlife in which he has a particular expertise. A whole fleet of Travel Right drivers supported wedding guests coming from abroad, which involved lots of coordinated movement and also lots of patient waiting through the ceremony - we couldn’t be more grateful for such a smooth experience which couldn’t have been easy. Following the wedding, Kavindu took us on a road trip around Sri Lanka which included sites in the cultural triangle, hiking in the mountains and exploring a tea factory in Ella, safari in Yala, and exploring Galle Fort. It was a pleasure to not only have his steady and knowledgeable guidance, but also to spend this time with such a genuine, kind, and open person, always up for a conversation over a meal, a walk, a perfect sunset, teaching us Sinhalese words, and always going over and above just driving us from point A to point B. Kavindu is also a skilled photographer and captured so many special memories and generously shared tips for improving my own photos! All his meal recommendations were always on point and we enjoyed trying out Sri Lanka’s authentic and delicious cuisine. It was an unforgettable experience, one that makes me want to return as soon as possible. Thank you so very much!!

I wish there was an option for 6 stars out of 5. We did Sri Lanka for 2 weeks for a wedding and had an absolutely amazing time. From hand-picked hotels to curated adventures, Travel Right Sri Lanka helped plan a spectacular trip.
Above all else, we had the greatest chauffeur/guide/teacher/friend/fellow-adventurer - Kavinda. Almost immediately Kavinda (Kavi) felt like part of the family wherever we went. He somehow had answers to all of our questions and knew where everything was. He was prompt, ready to go and had the van (which we call the Party Bus) in good shape with bottles of water every morning. He had an amazing attitude and a quick wit. I can’t say enough how much better and more special he made our trip. On top of all that, this man could drive. As narrow, as winding, and as seemingly chaotic as some of the streets could get, I always felt safe in the Party Bus. Thanks again!

Booking our 8 days in Sri Lanka with Hirosh and Travel Right Sri Lanka was one of the best decisions of our trip. Hirosh was professional, punctual, and incredibly knowledgeable, sharing his deep passion for Sri Lanka’s culture, history, nature, and communities while guiding us through every stop — even adding a few wonderful unplanned sites along the way. No matter how early the start or how long the day, he always showed up smiling and eager to make our experience unforgettable. He also helped us capture great photo moments throughout the trip and consistently went above and beyond.

We also met several of his colleagues along the way, and every driver was friendly, generous, and would have been a pleasure to travel with. It’s clear the company maintains high standards for the whole team.

Travel Right Sri Lanka is a registered company with a qualified guide team and Tourism Board approved licensed drivers, which gave us great peace of mind while traveling.

By the end of the trip, Hirosh felt more like a friend than just our guide. If you want a truly memorable and special experience in Sri Lanka, we highly recommend Hirosh and Travel Right Sri Lanka.

My trip to Sri Lanka was planned with a very short notice, (just 3 days before my travels) and they did just a wonderful job. Shoutout to Hirosh, he's the hero who I was in contact with the whole time.

My trip was 9 days long, and I made requests that I wanted to go around, but also have 2 days on the beach for myself, and Hirosh planned it around my requests just perfectly. Sri Lanka was very beautiful, I had a blast, and the company and knowledge they provided were just the cherry on top

Fantastic experience with itinerary tailored exactly to our requests. We were referred by a past traveler and was not disappointed. From the moment Kavendu welcomed us at the airport to the last drop off a week later we were treated truly royally. Travel Right took us to top notch accommodations and was flexible to switch when we asked for personal favorite side trips. K was especially sensitive to special needs and desires. Thank you for making this a life changing tour. If anything we could have made the tour longer so we could savor the flavor of Sri Lanka. No request was omitted and the tour exceeded our expectations.

I have just finished two weeks with travelteer and I could have easily stayed a lot longer. The work we’ve done has been so fulfilling and it is nice to get stuck in and help out. Another bonus is the people I’ve met out here both the staff and volunteers have been so lovely. Special shout out to Reece he’s worked so hard to make sure the experience has been as good as possible for everyone and always went the extra mile to ensure everyone was feeling okay!

I must preface this with the disclaimer that I lived in Sri Lanka as an expat & have been back 5x since, so I know & love the country well. Unfortunately however my last visit in Jan 24 has left a lot to be desired. The country is still as beautiful as ever, with great opportunities to see & experience an amazing country but the rampant corruption of the previous Rajapaksa government has seriously taken its toll on the country If you add in the $billions that were donated to SL post the Tsunami that were also redirected to certain Swiss bank accounts & you start getting a clearer picture of the complete lack of internal investment in the country. I took a family of 6 with me & it was only because I knew people that I was able to get decent pricing on accomodation & meals, but outside of who I knew I found the pricing to be horrendously expensive compared to just 5 years ago. The economic crisis hasn’t helped and as such anything that is imported (think basics like flour) is ridiculously expensive which has the knock on effect of increasing pricing everywhere, as a guess I’d say it’s about 6x more expensive than 5 years ago. This results in other problems as everyone is so desperate for money that they constantly put their hands out for little to no effort & try & charge stupid prices for activities & extras. As an example we were quoted USD $130 for a 1 hour snorkeling session which included a 5 min return boat ride, I did the same trip 5 years ago for USD $25! Unfortunately there are so many gullible tourists (especially the Russians) who simply hand over the cash without realising the long term consequences. I’m all for the Lankans making a $ & have spent $000’s myself but rip-off’s like this leave a very bad taste in the mouth, esp as after a little research I was able to get the same trip for $50. However the worst part & it really pains me to say this, is the complete lack of accountability & customer service. Other than at our hotel (as I know the owner) EVERY restaurant we went to, which included numerous international 5 star establishments, had the worst level of service I’ve probably ever experienced. Meals took ages to arrive (30 mins plus for a simple sandwich or salad) orders were often wrong & worse was they NEVER came together, so at least one of us had finished whilst another hadn’t even received their meal. These were not difficult meals to cater for & were often the same order, but not once did we receive our meal’s together & every time I politely enquired & requested they asssit I was met with a shrug of the shoulders & a look of ‘so what’. To be honest this more than anything ruined what should have been a great holiday, I will not be going back in a hurry as there are far better places for me to take the family, which don’t result in anywhere near the same number of headaches. Sorry Sri Lanka you’ve badly let me down!

The Herosh guide, is kind, polite. Has extensive knowedge, loyal and honest. He explains about each and every site.
He made us feel secure and safe while making sure we have fun every step of the way.
We highly recommend everyone to get his services and enjoy a great time and an amazing vacation.

We had an amazing experience thanks to Travel Right SL. They were very easy and nice to work with when planning the trip. Also our tour guide Tiran made the trip unforgettable. Thank you for your work guys! Well done!

We spent 11 days in Sri Lanka and Hirosh was our guide, it was amazing!
This formula permitted me and my dad to have a nice and easy travel, seeing all the different experiences that Sri Lanka has to offer. Hirosh it’s a wonderful guide, he’s a local and he’s very informed on the culture of the place, but he’s also got a general knowledge on plants, history and politics. Let’s say a 360 degrees experience!
My favourite experience was the village tour, that permitted to show us what is the real life of the local farmers families.
I’m never going to forget all the magic and the smiles of this vacation, thank you travel Sri Lanka right!

We went for the 13 days private tour with Hirosh and we loved it!
It is a perfect formula for all ages (we are in our 30s and our son is 5 y old) and holidays styles since you can ask Hirosh to tailor the tour upon your preferences and his recommendations of must - sees.
We discovered an amazing country, very rich in term of culture, landscapes, museums, food, shopping, craftmanship, tea and hospitality.
Hirosh is a licensed guide, very knowledgeable and passionate about his country - not only the historic part, but as well about botanics, wildlife, agriculture, religions, etc - and attentive to his clients needs. He is very client centric and even assisted me in finding a medicine we were running out.
He was driving very safely which is important.
I would also recommend this tour for people interested in ayurvedic since you can experience it in most of the cities and it is part of their culture.

It was 10 amazing days. I went to Many places with this company they arranged everything I needed. They are very kind and friendly.

We had an amzing vacation , it could not have been possible without the ammendable work this company made.
I would like to extend my thank and grattitude to the gentle and respectful man , Mr, Herosh for his professionalism and above all his morality as a person

THANK YOU so much for making unfogettable memories to us .🌹

See you soon 🤚🏻🤍

My husband and I celebrated our 5th year wedding anniversary in Sri Lanka this February . We went through on a 6night 7 day tour organised for us by Hirosh. Sri Lanka is a beautiful country and we wished we could have stayed here a little longer. A special thank you to Hirosh for working with us on this great itinerary. The hotels were great and service ranged from good to excellent. We were never disappointed. We only wished we could have stayed longer at some of the hotels Hirosh booked us at. Chanaka, our driver was also excellent and went out of his way to make our anniversary trip special. We especially appreciated the lovely flowers he bought us whilst driving to Nuwara Eliya. We highly recommend this travel company , special thank for the great service of Hirosh and Chanka.

I learnt about Travel right services through a facebook page. Hirosh, our travel guide who became a brother to us & a loving uncle to my little girl for our 7days trip to Sri Lanka. he guided us throughout & made sure we cover all the famous spot of Sri Lanka that's why my husband called him our very own *Google map*. Hirosh was our translator & financial advisor as well. He went out of his way to make our travel comfortable & put extra efforts to make our anniversary special. His services were excellent, his car was very comfortable and this trip would never have been possible to be this stupendous without his efforts & skills. cheers to Hirosh & travel right Sri Lanka. Highly recommended. Do book him for your next tour. Adios

I, along with three friends of mine spent 10 amazing days in Sri Lanka. We visited Kandy, Ella, Galle, Yala, and others.
Sri Lanka has all you need, nature, religious diversity and art, culture, outdoor activities, and we were lucky enough to experience the beauty this nation has to offer.
Our experience was made extra special because of this tourism company, and the man leading it: Hirosh.
We did extensive research before traveling but ended choosing this company because they replied quickest, offered a variety of activities, and were very accomodating of the changes we made to the itinerary.
When we arrived, we were welcomed by Hirosh, and we knew we chose the right company. Hirosh was a translator, a tour guide, an advisor, and above all, a friend.
He went far and beyond what was requested of him in making sure we are comfortable during our trip. A
- A friend of ours is very prone to allergic reactions, and he developed one early in the morning and needed to go to the hospital at 6AM. He texted Hirosh on a very short notice. After my friend got ready, he went to the hotel lobby to find Hirosh waiting for him in the lobby. He took my friend to the hospital and made sure he was well taken care of medically.
- I traveled from Jan 2022, and my birthday was during the trip. While we were in Yala, Hirosh made a stop and said he will come back shortly. A few minutes later he was back with a cake with a "Happy Birthday" and lighting candles. I was worried that I'm spending my birthday away from home and family, but he made me feel at home. It is worth mentioning that he did this out of his own, and it was not coordinated by the trip members. He found its my birthday, planned, and executed the whole thing on his own.
- He is very well educated. We would ask questions about Sri Lankas history, religions, landmarks, economic and political status, and he would almost always have an answer. I especially enjoyed asking him about the Buddhist faith.
- He always knew the best food places in town. We liked all the places he recommended, especially when it comes to authentic Sri Lankan food.

To anyone reading this review, I highly recommend this tourism company, and you're in for one great trip!

We were on a 12 days trip with Travel Right Sri Lanka in January 2nd, Everything worked astonishingly well.

The contact with Hirosh and planning of our tour was professional, easy, fast and honest. Also, they are very fast and customer oriented Their car for our tour was in a very good condition,comfortable & clean.

Most important was our guide and driver Chanaka. He is such a good guy and a real professional, who made us enjoy our trip as much as possible. He was always doing everything he could to make us enjoy our trip as much as possible, and he totally succeeded. Moreover, he is a very safe and attentive driver in the crazy Sri Lankan traffic. We are very happy about having such a knowledgable, funny, friendly, patient and professional guide. I'm sure our holiday wouldn't have been the same without him.

Met Hirosh, he represents Travel Right and i had ultimate experience in exploring Srilanka. As honest tour guide, he takes you in right direction guides everything and very economic as well. I would recommend him strongly for exploring Srilanka with best facilitation
