16 day tour of Sri Lanka with Imran
My wife and I have just completed a 16 day tour of Sri Lanka from Negombe through the Cultural Triangle and Safari parks to Galle.
Our driver and guide Imran made this trip a wonderful experience. He was an excellent driver and extremely reliable. His vast knowledge was evident from the start of our journey and he always knew where to find the best coffee shops and restaurants.
We would highly recommend this trip
with particular praise for Imran.
Superb Driver/Guide!
We had Imran as our driver/guide for our 2 week holiday trip to Sri Lanka which we booked through a separate travel agent.
From the beginning of our trip Imran was personable, respectful & focused on making our experience superb! He was knowledgeable and courteous at all times, always prompt with pick ups. His car was always clean & fresh and he was always concerned with our safety & comfort. He also provided additional guides when he became aware of our interests enduring our experience was the best it could be. We think of him and his family warmly and can highly recommend him as a superb driver/guide!
Great experience
Imran was great very attentive and super respectful. We stayed for 8 days and had him throughout our trip across Colombo, Yala national park and Weligama. The experience was great
The best driver guide if you're travelling in Sri Lanka
I was treated as my own guide driver for five days.
As it turns out, this was the biggest reason why my trip to Sri Lanka was so comfortable and safe.
I didn't feel any anxiety on long-distance trips or mountain roads.
I was very impressed not only by the sightseeing spots, but also by the constant attention to our physical condition and pace, and by the reasonable schedule they suggested.
They also told us about the shops and spots used by locals as well as tourists, and we were able to get to know Sri Lanka more deeply.
They answered this request resourcefully and were very kind to me with the reservation of massage and restaurant, and many wonderful memories remained as a family trip.
I was also moved by the worry that they would even send me a message after returning to Japan to see if I had arrived safely.
He is a reliable and wonderful guide driver.
It is especially recommended for first-time visitors to Sri Lanka and family travellers.
I hope to ask you again when you next visit Sri Lanka
Recommend Sri Lanka tour with Imran
We had a great experience with our driver Imran. He was very knowledgeable and helped us with recommendations depending on our preferences. However he was not pushing anything and was accommodating when we had alternate suggestions. Highly recommend Sanju for booking cab in Sri Lanka and having Imran as the driver.
Guided private tour of Sri Lanka
Our overall tour was arranged through Insights 2 India with 2 weeks in India and 2 weeks in Sri Lanka.
We were met at Colombo Airport by Imran and taken to our overnight hotel, Vivanta Colombo. The tour started formally next morning with a drive to Habarana. Ultimately we visited Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, Ella, Yala and Bentota before departing fom Colombo.
Roads were in good shape and less crowded than India, and that was a relief.
Imran's vehicle was a mid sized Toyota station wagon. It was neat and tidy with plenty of room for our luggage.
Imran's driving was very good and he certainly knew the dimensions of the vehicle. We managed to move safely on both county and city roads without any issues.
Where necessary Imran arranged local guides with specialist knowledge to guide us. Otherwise his own local knowledge was brilliant.
Imran was also able to get us into and see the Galle cricket ground and also the Singahalese Sport Club to see where test cricket is played.
We would highly recommend Imran if visiting Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka Tour with Imran
Sept 2025 • Couples
We recently completed a 6-day tour of Sri Lanka, traveling from Negombo through Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, Ella, Udawalawe, and Galle. Our trip was made truly excellent by the services of our driver and guide, Imran.
From the start, Imran impressed us with his professionalism. He is a very safe and skilled driver, who handled the varied Sri Lankan roads with great care. We always felt secure.
Beyond his driving, Imran is a knowledgeable and insightful guide. He provided valuable context about the places we visited, which greatly enhanced our appreciation for the history and culture of Sri Lanka.
What we valued most was Imran's attentiveness to our specific needs. As Muslim travelers, we required Halal food and time for prayers, and he managed this for us seamlessly. He consistently found excellent Halal restaurants and was always mindful of our requirements throughout the entire trip.
Furthermore, Imran has a very kind and pleasant demeanor, which made the time spent traveling between cities very enjoyable.
We highly recommend Imran to anyone seeking a reliable, knowledgeable, and professional tour guide in Sri Lanka. He was instrumental in making our trip a success.
Wonderful country, friendly people, and an exceptional driver/guide
Sri Lanka is an extraordinary country, rich in history and culture, where pristine nature creates a unique and evocative atmosphere. Our trip was truly unforgettable, and we were especially fortunate to have had the chance to explore every corner of this amazing country over two weeks with the support of our driver/guide (and friend), Imran.
His service was impeccable: always punctual, extremely friendly, providing a comfortable car, and enriching our journey with fascinating insights into Sri Lanka’s history and culture. We couldn’t have asked for a better companion on this adventure.
I wholeheartedly recommend Imran and his services to anyone wishing to fully experience the beauty and uniqueness of this wonderful country.
Beautiful country, delightful people and our ‘magic’ driver/guide
Sri Lanka is a stunningly beautiful country, inhabited, in our personal experience, by kind, thoughtful, generous and wonderful people
Imran, our driver/guide, is a shining example of those amazing characteristics. He was ready and waiting for us on our arrival at Colombo airport and delivered us exceptional service and, more importantly as our holiday progressed, friendship until the moment of our departure.
His vehicle was and remained in immaculate condition throughout our trip and his driving skills are remarkable - essential in a country where ‘’the rules of the road’ are certainly open to interpretation! As an ambassador for his country he could not be improved upon. Yes, he is a good driver and navigated the somewhat terrifying (at first) status quo of driving in the country. Certainly, he had exceptional knowledge of his country and a willingness to engage in dialogue about its colonial past and emergent present as a nation but he offers so much more. Interpreter, negotiator, guardian angel, advocate and advisor were among the many roles he brilliantly filled but he also became our friend and one we shall hope to retain contact with in the future.…

Thanks Imran!
We came to Sri Lanka for our honeymoon and loved the experience. Our guide, Imran, is phenomenal. He showed us the entire island and organized a comprehensive itinerary for us to see as much as possible in the time we had. We definitely recommend contacting him if you come to the island.
Friendly and professional
We had an unforgettable first trip to Sri Lanka with Imran as our guide. He is knowledgeable and professional but also very patient and kind; always putting our wishes and preferences first and creating a tour just for us. He is a careful and competent driver and without his cultural insights and easy companionship our holiday would not have been such a success. Thank you, Imran.
A memorable three week visit to beautiful SriLanka with a wonderful Guide, Imran
Imran was a most helpful, flexible, punctual, engaged guide and driver. We felt cared for, our excursions all went off without any hitches, his pride for his country, culture, food and people are infectious. We would highly recommend Imran for any travel across the entire island. We were focused on nature and outdoor activity and we found hikes, bike rides, bird watching opportunities across the beautiful country.
Great experience
We had the opportunity to travel around Sri Lanka with Imran, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience. From the very beginning, he proved to be a kind, approachable, unprofessional individual. Not only does he have excellent knowledge of the roads and drives very safely, but he also. passionately shares, cultural insights, stories, and traditions about the island which greatly enriched our trip.
In addition to being an exceptional driver , Imran has a very positive attitude, always smiling and willing to help in every situation. It’s clear that he loves what he does, and that reflects in the quality of the service he provides.
If you’re looking for someone reliable, friendly, and capable of making your experience in Sri Lanka unique unforgettable, I can’t recommend Imran enough.
I would definitely travel with him again.
Wonderful trip in Sri Lanka.
We had a fabulous trip to Sri Lanka. Imran was very helpful in assisting with our travel plans beforehand and understood that we were after a mixture of seeing a slice of Sri Lanka as well as down time with family. He was very knowledgeable in regard to all of our interests and questions. Thanks Imran!
Relaxed informative tour
Myself and another solo traveller chose with our travel company to visit Colombo for the day .
Imran was at our hotel ready to collect us to take us out for the day . As mentioned in other reviews he has a comfortable clean car .
He is knowledgeable and easy to get along with as several questions were put to him . We saw several sights including temples , we even asked to visit a supermarket he was with us at all times to help if needed .
We enjoyed out City tour and have enquired about other days out too !
About Our Experience
I made this journey with my sister. Imran was not only our personal driver and guide for 7 full days, but also our friend. We had the best travel experience of our lifes. We travelled over 900 kms in total. He advised where to go, went everywhere with us, arranged everything with the locals and we were there just to enjoy our trip. Also he showed us some local food places which were nothing like those in the tourist area. The car was comfortable and always very clean both inside and outside. I wish everyone to experience having a personal guide/friend like Imran.
He has always supported us from shopping to everything.
We received an excellent service and would not hesitate to recommend Imran to others.
On the way to the airport
Imran was our driver to the Colombo airport and it was very comfortable and fast trip in a big and clean car. The price was good too, so I recommend Imran and hope to travel with this guide by Sri Lanka next time.

Tour with Imran Mihiran
Given review as below
Imran drove us around Sri Lanka for 3 days. He was very courteous and resourceful. Finding “ out of the way” places, response time, local knowledge and a friendly attitude made our Sri Lanka trip very enjoyable. I strongly recommend him to any prospective customer. My best wishes to him.
Excellent Chauffeur and Guide - Highly Recommend!
Imran was an excellent chauffeur, guide and companion during my solo five day trip. We travelled 1,000km and had a brilliant time together, with Imran recommending places to visit that I had not planned to and that I really enjoyed. I look forward to visiting Sri Lanka again and will definitely stay in touch. Thank you, Imran!
First Class
A great variety of visits. City , markets, palaces, wildlife, game reserves, coffee and tea plantations, visits to local sites , guided and un guided , boat building, beaches and sea etc. A big thank you to Imran for the amazing and lovely assist. All fabulous!!!
Amazing experience travelling around Sri Lanka!
I had a great experience with Island Culture Travels and Tours. Over 9 days I travelled around Sri Lanka with Imran, my driver and guide. He was very warm and welcoming and was exceptional company throughout the journey. Moreover, he is an excellent guide and knows many of the best places to see and activities to do and he is very knowledgeable about the country. Several times during the trip, he recommended doing something which I had not planned in my itinerary and each time it turned out to be a trip highlight. He is a very honest person and looks out for your interests, making sure you are being treated fairly and are getting the best deals from people. I don't think you could find a more trustworthy guide or generous person. I can recommend without any hesitation. I am already hoping to return again next year. Thanks Imran!
Excellent
We traveled to Sri Lanka at the end of February. We used the services of a licensed guide, Imran, who took us every day to very interesting places. He also invited us to his family home and treated us to a real home-made Sri Lankan dinner. Imran is punctual, cheerful, helpful and very nice. His car was always clean. Full professionalism. I recommend.
Great guide and driver!
A real pleasure to have Imran as a driver! He’s a good driver, we discovered great places thanks to him and he was always thoughtful with us and our 2.5 y/o daughter!
Thanks Imran 😀
Excellent driver and guide! - Can only reccommend
We planned to hire a driver for the first day of our tour only as we had a tight schedule for that day. During that day, we decided to stay with Mihiran for the next two days as well as we really enjoyed and appreciated his service!
Mihiran is not only a very good driver along the streets of Sri Lanka (which aren’t always easy). He knows a lot about secret places, things to do &see as well as about culture, flora and fauna.
Mihiran helped us schedule the next two days to get the most out of it and provided recommendation for the remainder of our 12 day journey.
During the trip, we became friends and had some really enjoyable talks.
We were really happy with Mihiran as a driver and guide and can only recommend it to start the trip through Sri Lanka with him, especially when time is short.
