Loving Sri Lanka tour

I arrange Niroshan as our driver through Realm Lanka Tours Hiroshan was not only our driver but acted as our guide, he helped organise our itinerary prior to leaving home. Hiroshan picked us up at Colombo airport and stayed with us for an 8 day tour of Sri Lanka taking in Newara Eliya, Kandy, Haberana and Trincomelee En route we visited the main sites and Niroshan suggested others that we had not thought about. Hiroshan was exceptional as he drove us and acted as a guide also, he helped us overcome any problems we met and took care of us. We were very fortunate to have obtained his services and would highly recommend Niroshan to future travellers to Sri Lanka.

Loving our trip in Sri Lanka ❤️🇱🇰

We booked Niroshan as a private driver for our holiday in Sri Lanka. He picked us up from the airport at Colombo and took us to places we had agreed on our itinerary including Newara Eliya, Kandy, Haberana, and Trincomolee. During our stay to this beautiful island he also recommended sights of interest taking us to places we did not know about. He was an excellent driver always on time, a great guide (with his historical and local knowledge having studied tourism) and became a friend also. We felt really safe and secure in the knowledge that he was looking after us and cared about us, he was so kind and friendly. We would thoroughly and without any hesitation recommend Niroshan to anyone.

Solo in Sri Lanka with Niroshan and "Pavi": more than just a driver

Wow, what a trip. It’s hard to imagine doing it with anyone other than Niroshan from Realm Lanka Tours. I travelled solo for seven days, including Polonnaruwa and the Temple of the Tooth Relic in Kandy. Niroshan is kind, knowledgeable, smart and fun. His English is excellent, and he goes above and beyond to make you feel special, welcomed and well informed. Communication was exceptional even before the trip began. He helped me book tickets, received one-time codes on his phone when a website needed a Sri Lankan number, and wished me safe travels. I always knew he would be exactly where we had agreed, and on time. With a wonderful, curious attitude, he quickly understood the kind of solo trip I wanted, helped me choose between options, and ultimately gave me the trip of a lifetime. At Polonnaruwa he helped me keep the important kings in order with nicknames for each of them, a small thing that made the history click. The Temple of the Tooth was just as well handled: calm, clear and never rushed. Niroshan isn’t just a driver. He’s a guide, a friend, and someone who makes travelling alone feel effortless. His driving is calm and assured amid the chaos of Sri Lankan traffic.…

Best experience

Niroshan was the best driver we could have asked for! We spent 9 days traveling around Sri Lanka, visiting 5 different cities, as well as many temples and other beautiful places. From the very beginning, he was always friendly, kind, and willing to answer all our questions about the country, the culture, and the places we were visiting. He also helped us arrange our safari and was always there whenever we needed anything, making our trip so much easier and more enjoyable. We always felt safe and comfortable traveling with him. We’re really happy that we chose Niroshan as our driver and would 100% recommend him to anyone visiting Sri Lanka who wants a safe, comfortable, and unforgettable experience. Thank you for everything, Niroshan! 🇱🇰❤️

Excellent driver

We had a great journey from Kandy to Nuwara Eliya with Niroshan. Communication was great, he was punctual, and the car was clean and comfortable. He drove confidently and carefully, including getting us along the tricky road to our accommodation without any problems. He made the journey really enjoyable, with his fascinating knowledge about Sri Lanka and so many other subjects. He listened carefully to what we wanted to do and delivered exactly what we were looking for. We would highly recommend Niroshan.

Sri Lanka amazing 8 days trip

Niroshan drove us throughout our Sri Lanka trip (Negombo, Udawalawe, Ella, Nuwara Eliya, Kandy, Sigiriya, Nilaveli/Trincomalee) and the experience was flawless from start to finish. Even before the trip started, he was in touch with us to help plan the itinerary, suggesting a few smart adjustments along the way, and communication with him was always excellent and fast, both before and during the trip. On the road, he drove safely and carefully at all times, even on the winding mountain roads and through chaotic city traffic. He was punctual every day, the car was always clean and comfortable, and he was very flexible whenever we wanted to adjust the plan. But most of all, Niroshan is not "just" a driver, he's a genuine guide. He personally accompanied us into the most important sites and explained the history and cultural context of each place with real knowledge and passion. He also took us to temples to witness real-life ceremonies, giving us a much more authentic experience than a typical tourist visit. When we asked about gem shopping, he happily recommended trustworthy places and came along with us.…

Wonderful experience travelling Sri Lanka

Niroshan was our guide for 8 days and took us all over the country. He was kind, friendly, reliable, flexible and knowledgeable. He helped us with everything, including helping us plan our daily activities, finding food, translating and getting around absolutely everywhere! We were amazed by his depth of knowledge of culture, history, nature, archaeology, religion, architecture, engineering, and many other aspects of Sri Lankan society. Niroshan was always conscientious of our safety and wellbeing, whether through his careful driving or when accompanying us on a tricky hike. He was always happy to go at the pace we needed. You won't find a better guide for a trip to Sri Lanka than Niroshan, we would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to experience this beautiful country!

A fantastic trip with Niroshan

Niroshan was a great driver and guide for our 8 day trip across Sri Lanka. He was easy to communicate with before we arrived, with clear instructions on meeting him at the airport and very easy to coordinate with throughout our trip. He was very accommodating of our requests for restaurants, tourist attractions, and gave great recommendations when we wanted some advice. He helped us find and book with local activity operators, which was very helpful so that we could sit back, relax and enjoy our holiday. He was flexible with timings of itineraries, and was always happy, enthusiastic and knowledgeable around the historical sites, and always up for a general chat about life. He ensured that we were comfortable throughout every journey, and his car was always in a spotless condition and very comfortable, and he even helped us with our luggage at each of our accommodation. All of the reviews are accurate - Niroshan is a kind, accommodating and experienced guide and driver, and a definite asset to any trip to Sri Lanka. We would highly recommend booking with Niroshan!

Highly recommended: A fantastic guide who goes above and beyond

If you are looking for a fantastic driver and guide for Sri Lanka, look no further and book Niroshan! We had an amazing time with him, and he was truly of immense value to our trip. Why we highly recommend him: • Super flexible: He thinks along with you and gives great suggestions, but is never pushy. He even adjusted his price very fairly for the days we needed him less. • Incredibly knowledgeable: He knows everything about the country's history and culture, and loves to share it with you. • Safe & Loyal: He is a very safe and smooth driver. On top of that, he is incredibly protective and reliable; he always looks out for you and keeps a watchful eye when you are withdrawing money, for example. • Local hotspots: He knows all the best local spots you wouldn't easily find on your own.

Perfect experience

We asked for a more personalized, off-the-beaten-track route and absolutely loved the experience. Everything was handled in a super professional way, and along the journey we learned so much about the local history and culture. It made the whole experience feel unique and meaningful. Would definitely recommend!

Niroshan and Sameedha were both fantastic careful drivers, courteous, punctual and helpful. They were both very knowledgeable and interesting to talk to about life and politics in Sri Lanka. We had a wonderful 10 days with them driving us throughout Sri Lanka and loved every minute of it. We would thoroughly recommend them!

Very nice way to travel and discover Sri Lanka

Niroshan was our driver and guide for 10 days. We arranged and discussed the trip in advance so he took care of our needs. Altough flexible when we wanted to change on the spot. Just ask him whatever you want to do. Niroshan as a guide knows much to tell about everything we visited. Very handy to have e-sim and he is always there when you need him, also late night after dinner out at the beach. All hotels were very good. But if a large 5-star beach resort is not your cup of tea (like us) tell him in advance. He brought us to nice quieter placed outside when we asked for. Makes your holiday a more relaxing experience as you don't have to think and arrange all practical things: hotels, tickets are ready, fast entrance arranged, private safari ranger as a guide. Niroshan is in good condition so he can take you on hike trails up to nice viewpoint.

The perfect guide and companion

We couldn’t have had a better guide and companion. Niroshan has many qualities including: -Government licence to guide having gone through traing and an exam -great knowledge and insight about the sites we saw but also about Sri Lanka generally -a great sense of humour - charm and ability to get on with different personalities and cultures ( we are English and Japanese) -patience in responding to our relentless questions in relation to all aspects of life in Sri Lanka - a very comfortable and clean car -a safe and calm driver ( although he confessed that he didn’t think he would be good at reversing at high speed if we were chased by an elephant!) -attention to detail and determination to ensure that we had a perfect experience ( he overcame the difficulties we had getting train tickets to Ella even though that was for after we had retained him In summary he was a very helpful friend to us and we were sad to say goodbye to him -

Fantastic experience made even better

So Sri Lanka is an extraordinary combination of history, nature, beaches, wonderful cuisine and incredibly friendly people. It is a must-visit destination. And some will prefer to do so as a seat-of-the-pants adventure, on buses and tuk tuks. Those travellers will surely find the adventure they seek, but if they don't have unlimited time, they will probably miss a whole lot of things too. If your time (or your patience) is limited, then by far the best way to enjoy this stunning island is by car with a driver. And even better than that is to have a car with a driver who is also a licensed guide. Rather than following a tour itinerary or spending hours waiting for capricious buses, you have a ready source of information at all times. And driving on Sri Lankan roads for any distance at all means more time than you expected.…

Fantastic tour with Niroshan

My wife and I had the pleasure of traveling with Niroshan over the past week and only have good words about our experience in traveling with Niroshan and cannot recommend him enough. He’s much more than a driver, and with his deep cultural and historical knowledge of Sri Lanka, Niroshan can provide a unique insight into the life of Sri Lankans, both current day as in every period in the past 2000 years. He’s a wonderful tour guide, who will answer your every curious question, take you along in the mystical and mythical history of the islands kingdoms as well as its key religions. He’ll propose plans if you have none, but does not impose any, leaving you worry free in his hands. Beyond that Niroshan is simply a lovely person to travel, dine and spend time with, he’s gentle in his way of driving as well as speaking, he’s respectful and interested and has a great sense of humor! All this together made for a very enjoyable and organic trip together. So yourself a favor and book as many days with Niroshan as you can find in his agenda! Jasper and Ava

Had an amazing tour with Niroshan. We went from Colombo to Nuyara Elliya, Ella, Mirissa, Galle to Colombo in 5 days. He was very polite, very punctual, always smiling and always eager to create unforgettable memories for us... during the whole trip. Never said NO to any of our requests! Praiseworthy! 100 Marks.

Mirissa to Nilaveli - Great Trip with Niroshan!

I spent 10 amazing days in Sri Lanka with Niroshan, and I couldn’t have asked for a better driver and guide! He’s super reliable, always on time, and speaks excellent English. We planned things day by day, and he kept surprising me with hidden spots and local secrets. Once he knew what I liked, he always found new places that matched my interests. He’s funny, respectful, and really easy to travel with. As a solo female traveler, I felt completely safe the whole time. We also saw so many animals along the way — such a highlight!

Amazing Tour Experience

I had an amazing 9-day trip across Sri Lanka with Realm Lanka Tours, guided by Niroshan. From Dambulla Cave and Sigiriya Lion Rock to Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, Ella, Mirissa, Galle, and Colombo - everything was smooth and perfectly planned. Niroshan is more than just a guide. He's friendly, knowledgeable, and truly cares about giving you the best experience. The transport was comfortable, the hotels were well arranged, and his local tips made the trip unforgettable. Highly recommended if you want a stress-free and meaningful way to explore Sri Lanka.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TOUR GUIDE

Niroshan was instrumental is helping me plan my 2.5 week itinerary for July/August 2025. From the moment I reached out to him he was knowledgable, courteous and made some great recommendations to suit my family. He even went out of his way to go to a hotel for me to discuss an issue I had. From not only booking the fantastic train ride to Ella-Nano Oya, he drove us around (Colombo-Galle-Yala-Ella-Kandy-Colombo), and was brilliant throughout. Niroshan is a very kind, calm and organised guide, he was great with my kids (13,9,9), trustworthy and generous. I can honestly say that our entire trip was made so easy and smooth due to Niroshan - I would recommend him 100%, and would only ever book with him again!

Great tour with Niroshan

As a family of 4, mother (48) and three 'children' (22, 21 and 19) we had a great trip with Niroshan. Not only is he a great driver, but also an excellent guide. And great company as well. We got to see the tourits sites but we also had lovely conversations about the modern day Sri Lanka. He even arranged a barber visit for my sons! He picked us up in the middle of the night from Colombo airport and we drove to Galle. From Galle we went to Yala, Ella, Pasikudah, Polonnaruwa, Sigiriya and Kandy. All with a smile and ready to take a detour if there was something interesting. I would recommend Realm Lanka Tours to everyone who is looking for a driver-guide in Sri Lanka.

Highly recommend !!!!!

Friends recommended Niroshan from Realm Lanka Tours to me, and I’m so glad I listened — he made my 3-day solo trip truly unforgettable. I gave him an itinerary (he added Yapahuwa, which was a lovely surprise), and although the plans shifted during the three days, he was completely flexible. Despite the extra distance and changes, he didn’t charge anything extra – he’s really honest. He drives a Toyota Allion — very comfortable — and his driving was calm, safe, and professional. I always felt at ease. Itinerary: • Day 1: Colombo → Yapahuwa → Dambulla Cave Temple • Day 2: Sunrise at Pidurangala Rock → Sigiriya → Safari in Minneriya • Day 3: Sunrise again at Pidurangala → Polonnaruwa → Colombo Niroshan is also a professionally qualified guide, which meant he could join me at all the sites and share information on the history, culture, and stories of each place. He’s also fit and energetic, and really pushed me to keep going (in a good way!) during hikes and physical activities — like doing Pidurangala twice at sunrise. I’m English/French/Chinese; his English was excellent, which made communication smooth and easy throughout the trip. What I loved most was the connection we built.…

Great tour of the Hill Country

Niroshan carried us on our 7-day road trip from Tangalle to Colombo, staying two nights in each of Ella, Nuwara Eliya and Kandy. We'd planned out an itinerary before we came to Sri Lanka but he made several good suggestions to improve it and was knowledgeable and informative about the places we went. His car (a Toyota Allion) was comfortable and his driving style careful and reassuring, important given the chaotic traffic, numerous wandering animals and the sometimes crazily narrow and steep roads. His English was good and he was both friendly and professional. We would certainly recommend.

Memorable Sri Lankan Trip with Niroshan

My spouse and me had a memorable Sri Lanka trip thanks largely to the wonderful hospitality and guidance of Niroshan. During our 8 days stay at SL, Niroshan made all possible effort to make it as comfortable as possible. Need to highlight his - - professional approach at all interactions and dealings. - always available at short notice no matter when we wanted to move or needed assistance. - very safe and professional driving across Sri Lanka, especially those hilly areas at Nuwara Eliya and Ella. - rich insight into the history and background of historical places. We found his knowledge of geopolitics and SL economy also worth a mention. - and not the least, very reasonable pricing for his service. We shall definitely availing his services when we return to Sri Lanka.

Our trip to Sri Lanka was truly memorable and a big part of that was thanks to our wonderful guide, Niroshan. Not only is he kind and courteous, but he also has great knowledge of Sri Lankan history and culture. He planned a thoughtful itinerary well in advance and took the time to explain the art, culture, and significance of each place we visited. His car was very clean and he was always helpful with our luggage. It was an absolute pleasure having him as our guide for 9 days, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience

Due to changes in our plan he quickly switched things around and he also came up with new suggestions. We highly reccommend Niroshan to everyone - no doublt about that ☺️

Me my wife and 3 year old son have traveled 13 days through sri lanka with Niroshan. Everything was top arranged, good and friendly driver and fantastic guide who knew something about everything. And most importantly for us, he was good with kids. Our son was a total fan of his. He thought along when we wanted something and looked for solutions when something went slightly different than planned. I myself have also been out on my own twice with him to climb pidaarangula rock in the pouring rain and the Lion rock the day after. We have a very good feeling about our trip together with him.

Safe, friendly and a huge knowledge. Highly recommended.

Realm Lanka Tours made our 17-day tour unforgettable. At first, we found the idea of traveling in Sri Lanka with a 1.5-year-old child and a baby on the way a bit exciting. But thanks to Niroshan's professional approach, we never worried for a moment. Niroshan's knowledge of Sri Lanka’s history is vast. We didn’t come across a single statue, building, or temple where he didn’t share a legend, story, or piece of folklore. With a lot of background knowledge, he made the visits fascinating. In a country where road rules are fluid, he drives calmly, relaxed, and with great attention to our child. She sat in an EU-certified car seat during the journey. The fact that our 1.5-year-old daughter would grab Niroshan’s pant legs if anyone tried to pick her up said it all for us. Thank you, Niroshan, for the time we spent together. We visited Negombo, Anuradhapura, Sigiriya, Kandy, Nuwaraeliya, Ella, Yala NP, Hiriketiya, Ahangama and Galle. See all 9 photos

The very best - driver, knowledgeable guide and valued companion

Niroshan is the best driver we have experienced on our long road journeys through Asia over a period of more than fifteen years. He is a wonderful companion as well as a safe and patient driver. Added to this, Niroshan has recently graduated from the Sri Lankan Tourism and Hotel Management Institute as an Accredited Guide. His knowledge of the land he loves is vast and he conveys this information in a clear and interesting manner. His English is excellent and it is possible to ask questions of him and receive thoughtful, knowledgeable replies. The bonus you get with Niroshan is that he personally takes you around the sites you visit - he does not put you in the hands of another guide or point the way to the ticket office and then wait in his car for your return. Niroshan’s car is very comfortable, with good air conditioning and a big boot, and he has access to GPS - we always found our way around without any stress. Importantly, Niroshan is not in a hurry when driving - he drives slowly and safely and does not take chances on the narrow, winding roads of Sri Lanka which are shared by trucks and tuk tuks, motor scooters, pedestrians and community dogs. Nioshan is a gem!…

Highly recommend Niroshan

We arranged a pickup from the airport to Kandy, and then had two days with Niroshan. He took us the first day to the rock fortress in Sigiriya and Dambulla caves. He came with us all the way round and his knowledge and excellent English explaining all the sites and meanings was excellent. The next day he took us on route to our next hotel and suggested places for us to visit. He was happy to change itinerary to our choice and preference. We had a visit to a tea plantation and he dropped us at the train station and picked us up at the other end. Niroshan is a very safe driver, is extremely polite, friendly and fantastic value for what you pay. He works really long hours, and we can’t recommend him enough.

Excellent Service by Realm Tours, Srilanka

This is our first tour of Srilanka and turned out to be a memorable one. As a family we were there for 8 days - between 27th April and 4th May, for the entire tour we had the car of Realm Tours and Mr. Niroshan. From the day one of our tour i.e. receiving us at Airport to back to Airport the support and professional approach was well maintained. We covered Sigiriya, Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, Ella, Mirissa, Galle and Colombo and mostly visited major places of attractions of our choice. A knowledgeable, professional and well mannered Mr. Niroshan's support made this tour a memorable one. We wish him and Realm tours, the best for the future.

Great views, unreliable operator

This is a long train journey (6 hrs +) but with great views. We took lots of snacks and water. There were also sellers of various things moving through the carriages. İ have given 3 stars because the tour operator failed to get tickets for the 8.30 train that we booked, letting us know just the evening before that we would be on the 11.05 train instead. He was polite and apologetic but ..... İf you know your plans in advance i recommend you buy your tickets on line via Sri Lanka railways then you can pick up your actual ticket at the station on the day of travel. Not only is it cheaper but there is no chance of having to go at a different time. Review of: Kandy to Ella Train Reserved Seat Tickets

We booked this and had arranged to meet somebody for the tickets in the morning. However, nobody met us which meant we had no tickets and had to buy extra tickets from the station. We tried to call the number given for the tickets and there was no answer. Complete waste of money. How can I get a refund for a trip I didn’t get to use?!

Unfortunate we hadn’t booked the Kandy to Ella train in advance so we missed out on a chance to get tickets. Fortunately I found this company on TripAdvisor and messaged them and they said they were able to acquire us tickets! With only 3 days in advance too which is incredible! Niroshan who was such a lovely guy came and delivered the tickets to us at the station and they were 2nd class which is even better as we were happy with 3rd class. His communication with us was amazing and kept us up to date on the tickets frequently. Book with this company if you want to get your Kandy to Ella tickets, even if you leave it a bit late like us.

We had a very memorable and wondering trip to Sri Lanka with Realm tours. We visited Nuwara eliya,Ella, Mirissa,Galle and Colombo with Mr. Neeroshan and he was always there for us. He managed the train ticket from Nuwara eliya to Ella and also the ticket for our whale watching trip, and was with us throughout our trip. He was very cooperative with our plans and even with sudden changes in plan. He took us to all the places we wanted to visit even though some of them were not in the itinerary. He insisted to stay and wait for us even when we didn't need the car. Our trip was extremely hectic because we covered 5 cities in 6 days but he was always on time during our pick up. His driving is really comfortable and the condition of the car was also great. He also took our pictures throughout the trip. We really had a great time in Sri Lanka and we would like to thank Mr. Neeroshan for his cooperation.

I recommend this trip

Even though it was just me and the guide/driver, I had a great day! The guide had much knowledge about Sri Lanka in general and more specific knowledge about the places we visited. He was easy to talk with and I learned a lot. Activities could also be easily adjusted to my preferences. Note that the entrance fees ans tips are additional, but still it’s good value for the money.

Thank you Niroshan

After not been able to get tickets for the must do train from Kandy to Ella we was very disappointed however Niroshan was able to find us tickets and upgraded us at no extra charge. He even went to the train station at 4am to secure tickets for us. We are very grateful as we would have missed out if it wasn’t Niroshan ! Review of: Kandy to Ella Train Reserved Seat Tickets

Excellent

We were struggling to secure tickets for a train journey from Kandy to Ella & found Niroshan online. From start to finish he was very helpful and reassuring that he had tickets for 3rd class, on the morning of departure he managed to upgrade to 2nd class at no extra cost, now on the way to Ella very happy and comfortable.

Great way to travel from Kandy to Ella

Kandy to Ella train route was fantastic and we enjoyed it a lot. Totally worth the money. Im glad I met this operator before I almost gave up this journey because of lack of tickets. He was able to secure me two, third class reserved tickets to the 8.30 blue train at the last moment. Train compartment was fine and clean. It had a basic toilet.

Great journey. Nice person.

Wow. What an experience. I can say what others have posted online about ella train is true. Its truly an remarkable experience and Im happy that I took the journey. Niroshan was able to provide me a ticket for second class left side window seat, eventhough i booked just one day before. He even offered me free transportation from my hotel to train station. I ended up taking a ride to colombo from ella with him. He is very friendly and a safe driver. Doesn't loose his nerve even to the hardest situations, which I reckon happens a lot in srilankan roads. Thanks real tours. Review of: Kandy to Ella Train Reserved Seat Tickets

Hassle free tickets to Ella train

I was not able to get tickets to this journey through kandy station, because it was already booked. Luckily I met a tuk driver who directed me to niroshan. Tickets were delivered in the morning. he also offed us to drop at the station from our hotel. only negative thing is tickets are priced much higher than the printed price.

Comfortable Car, Nice Person

Well its us on the profile pic of Realm tours. When we were in Kandy, we met Nirosan through our hotel. We booked a transfer from Kandy to Negombo with him. He was punctual, polite and drove safely. He accommodated our all requirements without hesitation. Next time we come to Srilanka, we will definitely call nirosan to be our guide.
