Excellent driver and tour guide
We spent 3 days in Sri Lanka and wanted to see as much as possible. Sanju is a very good and careful driver, reliable, very knowledgeabley and really friendly. He organized and managed everything for us (from wonderful hotel at short notize, individual elephant safari and showed us local insider tips) so that we could fully enjoy our trip. We were even warmly welcomed by his wife, who made dinner especially for us to taste local food. Thanks a lot for all these special memories we can take home.

Sanju Travels – Best driver in Sri Lanka
We just finished a 16-day tour of Sri Lanka with Sanju and cannot recommend him highly enough. From the moment we landed at Colombo airport until our drop-off before the flight home, everything ran smoothly.
Sanju was always on time, extremely well organized, and drove safely on every road — including the challenging mountain routes to Ella and the long East Coast stretches. His English is excellent, communication via WhatsApp was easy from day one.
Beyond driving, he made the trip better in ways we didn’t expect. He arranged our Minneriya Safari with a private jeep and driver so we could skip all queues. He recommended fantastic restaurants everywhere. During every drive between destinations he suggested interesting stops and activities along the way, turning ordinary transfers into memorable experiences. He even helped us get a refund from a hotel, and covered small entrance fees when we didn’t have cash on us — trusting us to pay back later.
Photo stops, luggage help, friendly conversation without being intrusive. Sanju is a true professional. Thank you!

Great experience
We had a wonderful 7 day trip of Srilanka, thanks to our driver, Dinesh, and Sanju travels.
Dinesh speaks fluent English. He was punctual and always waiting for us ahead of the requested time. He was also flexible in accomodating slight detours. His 13+ years of experience in driving tourists around the country reflects in the helpful tips he provides. Driving was excellent and perfectly suited for Srilankan roads.
The van was as expected, clean, wifi hotspot, charging ports.
Exceptional Guided Travel Experience in Sri Lanka – Recommendation for Sanju
Our recent four-day excursion through Sri Lanka (March 19–22, 2026) was an outstanding success, due in large part to the exceptional service provided by our driver and guide, Sanju.
While we arrived with a planned itinerary covering Pinnawala, Dambulla, Sigiriya, and Kandy, Sanju’s expertise transformed our outline into a seamless, high-quality tour. His professional attributes were evident in several key areas:
• Punctuality and Reliability: Sanju was incredibly disciplined with timing. Despite the ambitious schedule—including a 5:00 AM departure for the Sigiriya rock climb to catch the sunrise—there was never a single delay.
• Expert Knowledge and Network: He functions as a professional guide rather than just a driver. His deep understanding of the historical sites, such as the Dambulla caves and the Temple of the Tooth Relic, added significant value. Furthermore, his local connections proved invaluable for navigating busy locations efficiently.
• Comfort and Amenities: Navigating the region's heat was made effortless by his smooth driving and well-maintained vehicle, which featured excellent air conditioning and reliable onboard Wi-Fi.…

One of the best!
This was our 3rd trip arranged with Sanju during our stay in Sri Lanka. This time Sanju himself drove us in his very comfortable SUV.
I have been visiting Sri Lanka for years and have worked with many drivers and tour companies - Sanju is one of the best. The experience from beginning to end was professional, friendly, and fair.
He has been doing this a long time and knows all the best spots and short cuts.
Would highly recommend!

Good transport for Sri Lanka tour
Myself & aunty had a good pleasant transport with Sanju travels.Dinesh & Sanju drove us to Jaffna, Trincomalee, Nuwara Eliya, Bentota & Colombo.We also had a short 1 night stay at his place Bibile due to the lengthy drive back rained all the way. His wife cooked awesome Sri Lanka authentic dishes for breakfast & dinner-- food was very tasty.-Sanju & Dinesh were quite good with their driving skills in the midst of Sri Lanka traffic.
Recommend for their superb service.

An excellent trip with Dilshan
We were a mixed group of Sri Lankans and Americans and had a really wonderful experience - everything was smooth from the booking to payment. We had to make a change to our itinerary/dates and that was handled graciously and smoothly.
Our driver for our 5 day trip was Dilshan. He was one of the best drivers I've had in Sri Lanka (I've been visiting for years). He was extremely accommodating and especially supportive of my elderly parents. When my Mom broke her glasses he went out of his way to fix them for her right away. I hope we'll get the chance to take a trip with Dilshan again!

back to Sri Lanka
We organized our trip to Sri Lanka with Sanju Tours. Sanju was always available and quick in responding via email and WhatsApp and adapted the itinerary to our needs.
On his initiative we stopped in Bibile, at his facility, where the welcome was warm and the dinner included was appreciated. However, this choice involved sacrificing a whole day’s journey just to reach Bibile and, in hindsight, we would have preferred to avoid this stage.
Sanju was not our driver because he was busy with other customers and arranged another driver. We cannot therefore review his service as a driver, but only the friendliness and timeliness in the management and organization of the trip.
Overall positive experience, but with an itinerary that could have been better optimized.
Exceptional 12 days Tour in Srilankan
My wife and I highly recommend Sandun (Upul) after a fantastic 12-day tour of Sri Lanka. He exceeded all expectations and made our trip seamless. Why he stands out:
Safety & Expertise: An incredibly safe driver who knows the best routes and shortcuts for long itineraries.
Professionalism: Always punctual, polite, and family-oriented.
Local Insight: He suggested amazing "hidden gems" that weren't on our original plan.
Flexibility: He was happy to accommodate plan changes without any complaints or extra charges.
Fair & Transparent Pricing: We loved the all-inclusive daily rate. It covered the car, fuel, tolls, and his own meals/accommodation. This transparency meant no hidden costs or stress for us.
If you want a reliable, honest, and knowledgeable driver to show you the beauty of Sri Lanka, look no further than Mr. Sandun
Amazing experience with Sanju
Sanju looked after us on our 8 day trip around Sri Lanka from Jan 8-15. He was professional, kind, easy to communicate with and understanding from the moment we arrived when there was a delay at the airport. Sanju's driving always made us feel safe, even when he was navigating difficult weather conditions in the hills. His vehicle is extremely comfortable and spacious.
Sanju also helped us to organise all of our tours and had helpful suggestions for the best places for us to stop along the way. We had a great time in Sri Lanka and will contact him again if we return. Sanju is a reliable and trustworthy person and we really appreciate his help to make our holiday special.
Fantastic Experience with Sanju
We had an excellent experience travelling with Sanju. He’s warm, friendly and very easy to deal with, and was always right on time. His driving is exceptionally safe and smooth, and his car was spotless, comfortable and clearly well-maintained — which made even long drives really relaxing.
Sanju knows the country incredibly well. He suggested great viewpoints, interesting stops and little local spots we would never have found on our own. He handled everything so effortlessly that the whole trip felt stress-free from start to finish. Communication was easy, his English is excellent, and he was flexible whenever we wanted to adjust plans.
If you’re looking for a reliable, knowledgeable and genuinely caring driver in Sri Lanka, Sanju is a fantastic choice. Highly recommend.
"Exceptional Car Rental Experience with Sanju Travels!"
Our trip was absolutely perfect, thanks to Sanju Travels! Their car rental service was seamless and reliable, making our journey stress-free and enjoyable. A special mention to the driver provided—he was professional, courteous, and truly enhanced our travel experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for top-notch transportation services!
Chandrika best driver ❤️
Chandrika was a perfect driver ! She was very secure and safe with us. She find other safe driver when We are in other city.
I recommande at 100% chandrika 🫶🏼👌 . Best price, not expensive for us.
She was the best with us.
Unforgettable 13-day tour with our family (parents, 2 daughters and their friend)
We had a 13-day fantastic tour with Dinesh as driver. He has made our holiday unforgettable. Dinesh helped with planning, advising on fun outings, restaurants, reserving tickets for a boat trip to watch dolphins and whales, rafting, Sri Lankan evening and much more. It was a busy program, but Dinesh kept the peace. Also in traffic! Which was very chaotic for us. In short, thank you on our behalf!

Sanju Travels = Stress free travels
We’ve just completed 10 days with Sanju from Sanju Travels. Sanju has provided us with a great introduction to the North and East of Sri Lanka.
Sanju has been kind, polite and friendly whilst collecting us on time each day, driving us to various places of interest. His car is a clean, comfortable, well air conditioned SUV. The roads are often hectic, Sanju drives well and takes all the stress out so you can simply enjoy your travels.
It’s our first time in Sri Lanka, Sanju was very good at helping us find our feet with the vagaries of learning the ropes in a new country.
We’ve very much enjoyed our time with Sanju, money well spent and we will definitely use Sanju again when we return to do the South West region of Sri Lanka in future.
Thanks Sanju.
Great experience with Sanju travel
We booked Sanju for a driver this April, travelling all round the county. Our driver Piyasiril was great. Really knowledgable and suggested great trips while we traveled round. He was a genuine pleasure to be with.
Sanju Travels are reliable and safe
We had a fabulous 10 days with Dinesh who was an excellent safe driver. Dinesh co-ordinated our sightseeing activities so that everything went so smoothly. His suggestion for a guide at Lion Rock was the best idea as it is strenuous and you benefit from the guides experience and historical knowledge
All of the lunch stops were timely and healthy clean places. Thank you Sanju Travels for your prompt communications and assistance for everything

Good transfer
He is kind, friendly, interested and drives safely.
Arrived exactly at the agreed time.
The car is clean and comfortable.
Mirissa trip
Five star review because of two excellent drivers,Prasad and Upul,both excellent in all ways,they made our visit very memorable.
Excellent car and careful driver
We requested a ride to Colombo airport from the city. Sanju was on time and the ride was good.
I recommend to use Sanju’s service.
Excellent and Memorable trip
Sanju travels is excellent and our guide cum driver Mr Piyasiri is an extremely knowledgeable person and he gave us a nice guided tour. We will remember our Sri Lanka tour for a long time as the trip was made memorable by both Sanju travel and Mr Piyasiri
Highly recommend Sanju both as a professional driver and a very informed guide
Sanju is very professional and went above and beyond to make sure we get to see the best of Sri Lanka, in our available time.
Very considerate driver and excellent tour guide
We were lucky enough to have Sanju as our driver for a fantastic 13 days in Sri Lanka. Sanju ensured that we fell in love with the country and saw all it had to offer. Whilst we had provided Sanju with a list of sights we wanted to see, he ensured we saw all that we had planned and so much more. Every drive to main destinations included suggested stop offs at temples/view points of interest en route and at both Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa Sanju included the less-visited ruins/monuments which he knew we would be interested in. He arranged and joined us for an excellent safari to Kaudulla National Park - because of the time of year we saw hundreds of elephants and water buffalos as well as stunning birds such as the Indian roller and fish eagles. Sanju also detoured on our way from Ella to Galle to ensure we saw the stunning southern beaches, stopping off where he knew there would be a good chance to see turtles. We cannot thank him enough - he is an excellent driver and took real care of us (even driving to find us on our return from Little Adam’s Peak in a torrential downpour). Sanju was also excellent and easy, upbeat company and became a good friend on our travels.
Mr. Safe driving
I just returned from a wonderful tour of Sri Lanka in August 2024. A total of 29 days I was traveling with Sanju and his taxi – from Negombo to Padikudah, from Galle to Jaffna, and (almost) everywhere in between. With absolute reliability, Sanju kept to every agreement and ensured with his calm, prudent driving style that I could feel safe at all times, even if the road traffic once became hectic.
In addition to his convincing skills as a driver, Sanju was always helpful in solving minor problems during the trip, organising safaris and similar Things to do and interpreting in contact with locals.
Without him, the long journey would not have been so smooth and unforgettable.
I can recommend Sanju without reservation as a driver and companion!

Excellent driver and guide who added a lot to our trip to Sri Lanka
We have just completed a 28 day tour of Sri Lanka with Sanju as our driver accompanying us throughout our trip.
He is, first and foremost, an excellent driver. We felt safe with Sanju at the wheel.
He drives a Nissan SUV, which is very useful as it provides a higher viewpoint than other vehicles and has the ability to deal with the Sri Lankan roads which, at times, leave a lot to be desired.
Sanju was there whenever we needed him, including some very early morning starts to view sunrises and evening trips to restaurants and events.
We had to make a number of changes to our trip, when hotels turned out to be nothing like the pictures in their web sites (a common thing in Sri Lanka) and he was proactive in finding alternatives for us.
Sanju has a deep knowledge of Sri Lanka and an excellent network of contacts. He suggested additions to our itinerary and mobilised his network to help us with bookings for trips and events. We found that we saved a lot of money by using Sanju’s contacts rather than booking through hotels or on-line sites.
Overall, we strongly recommend Sanju as a driver if you want to make the best of your time in Sri Lanka
Unforgettable experience
We just returned from a wonderful family trip in Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka and our time there was magical. Janith,our driver and companion in these two weeks, was lovely. He ensured we were comfortable from start to end, made us feel safe all throughout our travels and was both professional and warm.At the end, he became a part of our family.
For families who wants to see different parts of the island, having a driver and car makes a big difference as the distances are quite long. We made the right choice with Sanju travels and Janith.
Perfect tour in Sri Lanka with Sanju Travels
Sanju guided us thought Sri Lanka during 5 days. He knows all the good place to go and also how to avoid the tourist traps where the price can be really expensive. Regarding the lunches he brought us to these small village restaurants where the food and the view were amazing.
We left Sri Lanka with only good memories and for sure it is also because of Sanju !
Fabulous experience
I had a great experience with SanjuTravels. Over 9 days I travelled around Sri Lanka with Imran, my driver and guide. He was 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. He is also 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 driver guide or generous person. I can recommend without any hesitation. I am already hoping to return again next year. Thanks Imran and Sanju travels!
Sri Lanka z przewodnikiem
We were in Sri Lanka for 6 days. every day filled with exciting trips . Imran is very positive, competent and cultured. We recommend it!!! He took us to his dad's house to try their hospitality and real Lankan cuisine. We felt very safe with Imran's care throughout our stay. a clean car and punctuality are additional features. We'll be glad to come back.

Amazing trip with Sanju
Sanju has definitely made the difference in our trip and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better driver.
When we arrived, we had an idea of what we wanted to see but he helped us plan every day to make the most of this beautiful country and everything it has to offer. We wouldn’t have been able to enjoy it so much if it wasn’t for his suggestions and recommendations, from restaurants, tours, waterfalls, photo spots and hidden gems.
He is an amazing and safe driver, the car was super comfortable and always clean.
If you are looking for a driver for your trip in Sri Lanka look no further, Sanju is your person.
Thank you for everything Sanju!
Great experience - Sri Lanka trip
During our two weeks stay, we travelled across Sri Lanka with Sanju Travels and everything was so well organised, well in advance we didn’t have to worry about anything. Janith, our driver, is a lovely person. We felt safe during the whole time with him. He was constantly helping us, giving us additional ideas about the trip, his knowledge of the country is excellent and it was so interesting to learn new things!
We are so happy we chose to travel with Sanju Travels and would definitely recommend to anyone! We really hope we’ll see you soon and thank you for everything, Janith!
Super friendly, professional and good drivers
Sanju is super friendly and a very good driver. We had a long trip from Negombo to Unawatuna with him. He drives very smoothly and safely, we felt comfortable at all times. The car was also very new. In general, Sanju runs a very professional company. He always wrote back immediately and also organized a very good driver for us for another trip from Sigiriya to Colombo in no time. We can recommend the company 100% and would book a driver here again immediately.
Sanju travels - Sri Lanka round trip 2024

Car and Driver Hire - Sanju, driver JANITH
During 12 days, we traveled with Janith across Sri Lanka. He was someone we could rely on, with excellent knowledge of the country. Additionally, Janith fluently spoke English and shared many interesting facts about Sri Lanka. It was a wonderful experience. Thank you for the journey, Janith! :)

Avoid this company!!!
Sorry if I'll be long and boring, but I'll try to tell the totally bad experience we got due Sanju Travels incompetence! Despite to the reviewes left from other customers, I want to warn and advise others from the behave of the owner (Sanju) and the driver (Samantha). I booked on February 2023 a trip of 16 days around Sri Lanka with my girlfriend and other two friends, and I found this company with good reviews. Based on that, I booked with Sanju Travels. The deal was: 150km included per day, professional english speaker, and "first excellent service, and then payment" (written by Sanju). We started having issues since the second day (we landed on 5th August). Sanju started to insistently text me on Whatsapp and calling me because - based on his opinion - I accepted the website "terms and conditions", with an advance payment of 75% after the first day. After a long discussion of days, he finally realized that he changed the terms and conditions on June/July 2023, few months after my booking. Anyway, he pushed me all day long to get the amount, despite the bad service.…
In fantastic experience!
10 fantastic days in Sri Lanka! Sanju helped us make an itinerary, so we could see as much of this amazing island as possible. Excellent driver, he made us feel at ease and accommodated all our requests! Beyond our expectations! We highly recommend it to anyone planning to travel to Sri Lanka! A thousand thanks!
Amazing trip! Book with Sanju!!!
Sanju did an incredible job as a driver and guide throughout Sri Lanka!
He’s extremely nice and friendly – and made our honeymoon in Sri Lanka a really amazing time.
We visited quite a lot during our 7 nights here, and Sanju made the trip run very smoothly. He was really good with keeping us on track, and communicating through the trip.
He always knew exactly how to get us to where we were going, and stopped to show us neat things such as temples and waterfalls along the drive.
The car was in perfect shape, lots of legroom, nice leather seats, strong air conditioning (very happy with that since hot outside 🙂 ), and wifi worked great!
My wife and I visited here on our honeymoon, and during the trip – we visited Kadulla national park for elephant safari, hiked Pidurangala and Sigiriya, drove through Kandy, stopped at a tea plantation, took a train from Nuwara Eliya to Ella, saw nine arches bridge and little Adam’s peak, Yalla National Park, Tangalle, and Galle.
We are extremely happy with Sanju, and know our trip was so fun because of all his help!
Thank you Sanju!!!

Very experience driver
If you are looking for a safe, experienced and comfortable driver, Sanju is the best. He was driving us all already Sri Lanka without any issues. We felt safe and well looked after during our 2 week trip. Just a reminder to read the terms and xonditions before signing.
Happy customers
Sanju was a great driver for us. On time, well organised great vehicle comfy and spacious. Calm driver with good skills and knowledge of local roads. Only wished would engage more with us about his local knowledge otherwise no issues. Thanks Sanju

Sanju is amazing!
We booked Sanju (Sanju Travels) for 5 nights. He was beyond helpful. Before we arrived he asked if we had a rough idea of what we wanted to do and told us to leave it with him. He came back with a brilliant itinerary that ticked all our boxes and more. We managed to do a whale watching tour, tea plantation, Yala National Park, two nights in Ella (Little Adam’s Peak, Nine Arch Bridge, Diyaluma Waterfall), Buduruwagala Statues and Udawalawe National Park in those 5 days.
Sanju arranged all the tours for us so we didn’t have to do anything. His vehicle is clean, spacious, the AC is good and he has YouTube music, so you can play what you want.
Finally, Sanju is such a nice, kind hearted person. He was very happy to help us and we shared some great moments together.
I would highly recommend Sanju and we look forward to booking with him again on our next trip!
Thank you for everything Sanju, you made our trip really special!

Great experience
We had a great 10 day tour of Sri Lanka, organised through Mr Sanju.
Our driver was Suda- he was friendly, reliable and a very safe driver which we greatly appreciated! Having Suda drive and guide us around made our holiday much more hassle-free and enjoyable
Thank you Suda and Sanju!

Great driver!
Great driver! He was always ready to help and helped us visit many places! He drives like a real professional, very neat! The van was very comfortable, a lot of space, there is Wi-Fi, air conditioning. I can definitely recommend Sanju!
Brilliant
Having Sanju travels to meet us at the airport was THE BEST THING THAT CAN HAPPEN TO US!!!
After a long way to Sri Lanka we felt blessed that we trusted Sanju travels for our journey.
Our first drive was 8h to the other end of the island with surfs and lots of luggage and we were amazed of the warm welcome, driving skills, insights to share, organization, fare price and safety we got. We slept half the way as we felt so secure in his hands.
This is just the beginning of ours first visit on the island and there is no other way to have this brilliant beginning without his support. We 1000% continue working with him not only as a driver but as our Sri Lanka travel agent.
10 stars from us and endless thanks!!!

Easy&friendly&safe
We had a perfect and safe trip!Vehicle is comfortable and clean. Sanju is professional driver and made our trip in relax mode!

Friendly, helpful driver.
Sanju became our go to driver throughout our Sri Lankan trip. He was very reasonably priced and had a comfortable vehicle with aircon and wifi. He always sorted something out if we needed a drive anywhere. Would highly recommend if you're looking for a driver!
First class experience!
Sanju is an excellent driver, who was always on time and so reliable. He drive my friends and I down the east coast over a few days and up to the airport. He was always so helpful and friends, and has a lovely, spacious car that is perfect for groups and long journeys. He also has the best prices for the wonderful service that he provides. His car is well air conditioned and even has charging portals!
Supun made our trip incredible
We had Supun as our driver and he was incredible. Professional and knowledgable throughout. He gave us so much information on Sri Lanka and took us everywhere we wanted to go, plus suggested extra things I didn’t know about before. Supun used his contacts to ensure that everything went smoothly during our trip. We definitely recommend Supun and wish him all the best.
Week in Sri Lanka
100% recommended! We were a group of 4 friends and we visit different places in Sri Lanka (Sirigya, Adams Peak, Hatton, Yala and Tangalle). Sanju always help with his recommendations and local advices.
6 days Sri Lanka tour
We used Sanju’s services for 6 days during the midst of Sri Lanka’s economic crisis. He acted in a professional and calm manner no matter what happened to ensure we experience the best side of Sri Lanka. Despite the challenges of the fuel shortages, Sanju was able to use his network to ensure our journey was uninterrupted and for that we cannot thank him enough. It meant a lot of late night calls and talking to filling station owners which he did not complain about once. His driving & navigation were exemplary, knowing the most efficient routes through the Sri Lankan traffic. He is always on time, mostly early! Sanju took us to many great local places to eat along the way, all of them good value for money and delicious. He did not pressure us to go anywhere we did not want but made sure we visited all the best sites and offered ways to make the most of our time. Sanju is well connected and as such, was able to organise some tours and activities at good prices, also helped in his hunt for fuel! Sanju’s van is clean and spacious and comfortable with great working wifi.…
A wonderful time in Sri Lanka
We were lucky to have Sanju as our driver in Sri Lanka. He is very professional, friendly and flexible, and communication was excellent. We had made a last-minute decision to spend our holidays in Sri Lanka and had little planned before landing in Colombo. Sanju helped us plan a super travel itinerary tailored to our interests. We honestly had not expected to experience so much in the few days we were there. We all had a wonderful experience that we will never forget. We hope to come back to Sri Lanka and would love to have Sanju as our driver again. We warmly recommend Sanju Travels for anyone wishing to experience Sri Lanka.

Trip around the Sri Lankan's ancient capital
We have made a trip of four days with Sanju and his confortable van. He has been very flexible and helpful, giving us precious tips but letting us free to decide what we wanted to do and see. He brought us in some very nice/cheap restaurants along the way to the different cities. Perfect driver that we will suggest to everyone!
Pleasant Sri Lanka Tour with Sanju Travels
We returned recently from Sri Lanka, after a nice 12-day tour, with Sanju Travels. Sanju was a very good and safe driver, reliable and ready to assist in every occasion. He helped us, also, to organize the necessary processes, such as PCR testing, to exit the country. The vehicle we used, was a new, very good and spacious van. When we needed a specific activity, such as safari in the Yala National Park, visit of a tea factory, or a local dance show in Kandy, Sanju proposed the better solutions, of excellent quality and low cost (probably 2-3 times lower than the prices we could find on the Internet). I suggest Sanju to anyone who would like to make a safe and pleasant tour of Sri Lanka.
Friendly, competent and always helpful.
Sanjun took over our trip from another Taxi driver and we were very happy about it!
He organized our train tickets what was really not easy for him. Thank you very much for this, Sanjun! 😃
Taxi is comfortable and in good condition. Further we could use his hotspot. 👍🏻
All in all, we appreciated his service and his safely driving very much!!!

Great driver and comfortable van!
We had 8 days with Sanju driving us around in his very comfortable van. We got him to pick us up in Mirissa, then it was on to Yala, Ella, Kandy, Sigiriya and then back to the airport. He is a very safe driver and makes you feel at home in his van, with charge points, Wi-Fi access and very comfortable seating.
If you need a driver for some of your time in SL I would highly recommend him.

Great guide and driver!
We were planning a two days trip in the heart of Sri Lanka (to Ella) and since we were a small group of people we decided to opt for a van transportation. Couldn’t have chosen a better driver! Sanju perfectly meet out time schedule, was always very accommodating and punctual and helped us as well organize the short trip, driving us to nice and cool sightseeing tours around the area. Highly recommended if you’re wondering about organizing trips around! We’re extremely happy and satisfied.

Amazing Driver!
Sanju is a very friendly, safe and reliable driver. His car is very luxurious, big and even got power plugs for the phone. Thanks for everything Sanju, will definitaley book you again!
Fantastic trip - great driver and car
We had a fantastic 9 day trip with Sanju. A lovely man - very professional. His van is fantastic with seats that fully recline so we can sleep on the move - great for an overnight airport transfer. We will only book Sanju again for our next trips.
Good transportation
Very friendly, helpful guide that drove us to the yala National park and back. Was waiting for us for over 1.5 hours.

Simply the best!!!
Me and my houseband have been twice to Sri Lanka both times accompanied by Sanju.
He is the best! Very professional and flexible to adapt to our needs with comfortable car. We will keep contacting Sanju every time we will go back to Sri Lanka
Made our travel in Sri Lanka extremely easy and reliable!
Exceptional service from Sanju and his team of drivers.
They organised everything for me. This included exchanging my money, buying a SIM card and organising taxis for other legs of our trip. Sanju was always willing to go the extra mile and was a fantastic driver.
Will definitely use him again!

A+ travel service in Sri Lanka
Sanju was fantastic. My wife and I had a complicated day trip from Ella to a national park then to Unawatuna starting very early in the morning. Sanju arrived on time and his car was very clean, I would highly recommend if you have any travel needs to use his service while in Sri Lanka.
Very good
We had 5 days trip with Sanju and it was cool experience for us.
Highly recommendstion for safety travel.
Thanks for the good service
We had very good driver. He picked us up from the airport in the middle of the night, and he was ready to drive whole day. Also he helped us to find places to eat and stay. Moreover he got us some advices for places to visit.
Car was really nice with air conditioning and a lot of space incide. So we even could sleep on the go from time to time.
Thanks for the good service!
Sanju Driver
We got a really comfortable big car (we were expecting a sedan, but we got a minivan for the same price). Air conditioning, large places, we could sleep there from time to time.
Our driver picked us up from the airport in the middle of the night, and he was ready to drive all day. We were advised by the driver in the best places to visit (we always had several options), where to sleep, where to eat and so on.
I will recommend this driver to friends.

Spend an amazing end of year in Sri Lanka
We were couple and we had an amazing time with Sanju Travel. Friendly, trustworthy and most importantly, felt very safe. Didn't really planned anything till we get there but we managed to see most beautiful part of the country.
Strongly recommend to people who have no idea what to do and where to go.
All good !!
Sanju was with us for 11 days, travelling from Colombo to Galle, Yala, Ella, Kandy, Sigiriya, and back to Colombo.
The three things you need to know are:
1) He's a nice person - nothing is to much trouble
2) He's a safe driver - no need to hang onto your armrests
3) The van is the way to go - comfy, plenty of legroom, wifi, charging facilities and power sockets.
You'll be very happy choosing Sanju.

A fantastic tour of Sri Lanka in a comfortable vehicle
Sanju was a great driver for our trip around Sri Lanka. He was there to meet us at the airport with no issues with his comfortable van with reclining seats, wifi and air conditioning. Sanju drove us around for 9 days - made suggestions for places to visit and things to see, helped us buy tickets, stopped at amazing viewpoints for pictures, and even helped us improve our trip itinerary. He also arranged another driver to pick us up from our final destination after a week at the beach to take us to the airport at no additional cost. Sanju even accompanied us on a shopping trip in Kandy to help us negotiate some better prices :) We felt safe with him driving and in his company, and would recommend him to other travellers looking for a personal driver. If you contact him before planning your itinerary he would be able to help you plan your trip and make hotel suggestions based on where you want to go. Thanks Sanju! We had a fabulous time in Sri Lanka and having you as a driver made it an easy and fun way to see the country.
Great!
Was an excellant trip with sanju travels. Managed to visit all the planned cities . Highly recommend.

Travels with Sanju
We had Sanju drive us for a 5 day jam packed tour of Sri Lanka and having Sanju allowed us to squeeze so much more in!
We went for a van so we could recline and use WiFi and I would recommend.
We told Sanju a broad outline of where we were staying and a few things we wanted to see and he took care of the rest. Got us there with no stress, making suggestions of where to stop and making sure we knew where to buy tickets and go!
Definitely recommend!
Highly recommended
Highly recommended Sanju travels in Sri Lanka.
We spent 3 weeks in Sri Lanka and Sanju took us to all the destinations we visited (airport-Arugam-Sigriya-Ella-Nuwara eliya-Mirissa-Kabalana-airport).
He always gave us good price, was very kind and most important he was driving very safely (there were some rainy days).
He also showed us new places on the road like Tea factory and a nice lake in Nuwara eliya and always gave us tips for our new destination. We highly recommend Sanju travels for each of you that planning to visit Sri Lanka.
Clean, Aircon, Wifi, Friendly, Knowledgable & Trustworthy
Sanju initially drove my wife and me from Negombo to Willapttu, then a day later to Trincomalee via Anuradhapura.
Following these two initial trips, we went on to use him frequently for other journeys all around the island. Always his price was excellent and was made to feel number one.
The service was excellent. He is both a quiet driver and a knowledgeable tour guide mixed into one. Perfect for when you just want to sit and quietly enjoy a book for example.
He knows all the little tricks for getting to sights (and importantly escaping them without being forced down the usual tourist trap routes). He recommends where he feels we might enjoy something, but is in no way pushy.
The van also has zoned airconditioning which you can control to your own temperature.
The wifi is also a neat feature that comes in useful.
We'd certainly use Sanju again and recommend his services to anybody.
Sanju 👑
Sanju is very very nice, you can put music in the car audio. There is a lot of space for the legs and the chairs are really comfortable! There is wifi !
Take sanju👑👑
Very comfy ride
We drove from Ella to the Airport with sanju. He tool us in a very nice van with much space. There was also Wifi on the car and we had a really good and comfy ride to the airport. Every time again.

Unfair - gave too much money and didn't give back
We gave sanju 75000 (80k including tips) rupees instead of 17500 because we had the wrong exhcnage rate in mind and didnt double check what he offered. One day later we noticed that we gave him too much money but he said we didn't. (we recalculated out ATM pickup and the expenses which was only the transfer) and the missing amount was exactly the 80.000 rupees (including tips).
He then said he will return the money even if we didn't give him (doesn't sound reasonable to me??) but later on he never replied anymore. Better search for someone else as sanju is not very trustworthy after experiencing this.. (imagine if you forget something in his car...)
Very good service
Good driver with perfect car: seats can transfer to bed( very comfortable to sleep), WiFi on board and cable for our music from mobile
Excellent travel from Colombo to Arugambay
We had a great trip from Colombo Airport to Arugambay, 8 hours on the road. Driver was funny and a really nice person caring about all our needs. The can is really comfortable with a/c. Recommended for short and long travels around Sri Lanka.

Excellent Private Driver For Sri Lanka Trip!
We booked Sanju as our driver for a few days last week in Sri Lanka. Coordinating the details was easy and Sanju was great to communicate with throughout the trip. He was always on-time, offered some great stop recommendations along the way, and we felt very looked after the whole time! Sanju's vehicle (van) was extremely comfortable and clean with wifi, A/C, USB charging, and outlets. I would gladly recommend Sanju to anyone looking for a reliable private driver for Sri Lanka.
Great trip with Sanju
We travelled with Sanju for 5 days, from Colombo, Galle, Yala, Ella and back to Colombo. Sanju was very polite and friendly, and had good recommendations. His van was very comfortable for the trip!
Great driver
I booked him as a driver from arugam bay to Colombo airport. He has a nice car, is cheaper than others and drives safely.
Thank you Sanju!
The Party Bus
Sanju was fantastic.
We have used him several times to get ourselves around the country and refer to it as the party bus. Reclining comfy seats, Wi-Fi, you can play your own music...What more could you want!
Sanju is always very punctual and professional and I think he is extremely reasonably priced.
Great service
We have used Sanju on my occasions throughout our travels in Sri Lanka and he has given us very reasonable prices without any hidden charges. He stopped many times for us during the long journeys and made us feel very safe. His van is extremely clean with aircon, WiFi and reclining seats if you feel tired. I would definitely recommend his services.
Best driver! Sanju was so kind and a very good driver. Thanks a lot!
Best driver! Sanju was so kind and a very good driver. Thanks a lot! We appreciate it a lot and we really recommend you
Excellent driver
Our ride with Sanju was very comfortable. The van had air con, seats that could recline, WiFi, phone chargers etc. He was reliable and there were no hidden extra charges , which we have had with other drivers in Sri Lanka. We will be using Sanju again for our travels.
Good Ride from Colombo to arugambay
We travelled with Sanju in his very clean and cofortable Mini Van from Colombo Airport to Arugambay. He is a very good and safe driver and you can drop down the back seats so you can catch some sleep on longer trips and you arrive relaxed at your destination.
Sanju take always care of his customers.
Best way to travel around sri Lanka.
Thanks for driving us, Sanju!
Best regars

Arugum bay
Had a great trip with Sanju from Colombo to Arugum bay. Very hospitable, super comfortable van with air conditioning, wifi and charging ports. Thank you Sanju!
Great travels
Sanju took us on 2 trips. From Sigiria to Arugam Bay then on to Ella. He has a very comfy air conditioned van with free wifi. His English is excellent and he is very friendly and knowledgeable. He stopped whenever we saw things of interest to us - including an elephant by the road side. I highly recommend Sanju and we LOVE Sri Lanka.
Sanju
Sanju is a friendly and good driver.
Comfortable van.
He stopped at attractions if we wanted to .
We would travel again with him.
Comfortable transportation
We hired Sanju for transport from Arugam Bay to Karinda (Yala) best price for a very comfortable van with aircon! Plenty of room for our surfboards and plugins for all our electronics, great trip, really nice helpful driver, thanks again Sanju!
Best shuttle service in Sri Lanka!
We have been using Sanju's company for about five years now to travel from Colombo to Arugam Bay return. Sanju always provides clear communication regarding the pick up and drop off times and sends photos of the vehicle we will be travelling in. If he is not the driver then he will check in with us during the journey to ensure everything is fine.
If time allows it and we are interested he will take us to tourist sites along the way. He also makes sure we have enough stops for food and water.
For price, service and safety we cannot recommend Sanju highly enough.
Very happy with the service!
I heartily recommend Sanju Travels for (long distance) trips in Sri Lanka! Sanju and his team are very friendly, helpful and reliable drivers, who were always on time. It was very easy to communicate and organize our trips with Sanju. Furthermore, they gave us several recommendations for our trip and showed us some beautiful sight seeing spots on request.
No. 1 driver in Sri Lanka
From Day one in Sri Lanka Sanju was our driver. We got his number from a friend who also used his services in the past. Sanju organized our drive from Colombo to Sigiriya. And a few days later a drop of at Kandy. Everytime we needed a longer drive from one City to a another he organized eberything.
All his drivers were on time and the prices were fair.
Great Service
We used Sanju several times during our trip and he was brilliant. He recommended great places, was reliable and his driving was excellent. His van was spacious, very comfortable and had Wifi as well as plugs to charge our devices.
We have since recommended Sanju to several of our friends.
Best trip ever!
If you go to Sri Lanka, choose Sanju!
Me and my boyfriend went twice and have recommended to many friends. Comfortable car and flexible schedule make this an incredible experience! Sanju is very expert and trustworthy. Best Ever!
Great service
Transfer from Ella to UdaWalawa was excellent. The drive was comfortable and Sanju was very friendly. Would recommend
You will be in safe hands! 100%
I'm not a big online reviewer but Sanju has made the transport side of our 3 week holiday so easy. We are a family of five with 3 small children (3,6 and 9) and from initial contact in UK to arrival at 4am in Sri Lanka, through our numerous journeys across the country, Sanju has been nothing but excellent in his service.
His van is AC and comfortable and his driving is safe and experienced in our country where not many others are. His pricing is fair and reasonable in comparison to the many others I quoted with before and during our stay.
We travelled during New Year celebrations and where Sanju was unable to accommodate us personally, he arranged other drivers and sent us photos of vans and registration plates.
Everyone always arrived on time or if in traffic we were alerted well in advance to perhaps a 10-30 minute delay but this was rare.
This was our first trip to Sri Lanka and I did have apprehensions about booking drivers but with a young family it proved to be the better way. Stop when you want, go which way you want and no train delays!…
Great drive!
Very good and safe drive down from Ella to Yala National Park. Very luxurious car with A/C and comfortable seats. Highly recommend Sanju!
Very good choice
It was a great pleasure going with different drivers from Sanju Travels for more than 1000 km in 6 days,including two sightseeing tours around Kandy. We got what we wanted:A very comfortable car (van) for our four people group as well as confident and very friendly drivers. We always felt save and got useful information. We can really recommend the company without any reservations. In a nutshell:Good value for money!

Very nice driver
Sanju came to pick us up on time as agreed many months in advance. He suggested we would take off a bit earlier than planned as the forecast promised rain in the afternoon. He was a very nice and safe driver and his van was very clean and even had wifi and the possibility to charge our phones. I can highly recommend travelling with Sanju.
