Lanka Tour Hire was founded by Niranjan, fondly known as Nira, a tourism professional who began his journey in 2012 as a private driver guiding travelers across Sri Lanka’s most breathtaking destinations. Through years of hands-on experience, Nira gained deep local knowledge and a strong understanding of what travelers truly need when exploring the island.
After working closely with international visitors and helping them navigate the country safely and comfortably, he recognized the growing demand for a reliable Sri Lanka private tour driver guide service—one that combines local expertise, flexibility, and personalized care.

EXCELLENT Based on 12 reviewsPosted onAaa .bTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing 5 full-day trip with this company, and it truly exceeded my expectations. Kavin, despite being young, handled everything so professionally and thoughtfully—from airport pick-up until drop-off. He carefully planned itineraries that perfectly matched my interests, drove safely at all times, flexible, attentive and helpful. As a Muslim traveler, I was deeply touched by how considerate and respectful he was of my needs. He was mindful of prayer times, made stops at mosques if there was a possibility I wouldn’t reach the hotel in time, and genuinely put in the effort to find truly halal restaurants to accommodate my dietary restrictions. If I have the chance to visit Sri Lanka again, I will definitely use their service—no doubt. A truly stress-free experience. Please keep being the wonderful person and spreading kindness to others. Highly recommended! 👍Posted ontaQ -Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our trip with Lanka Tour Travel was incredibly smooth and enjoyable.

The service was exceptional, and Kavin’s dedication made all the difference! Exceptional Service and all the best !Posted onnirmala krishnanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our organiser booked Lanka Tour Hire for our recent trip to Sri Lanka, and I’m truly glad they did a great job. We were guided by Kavin and driven by Mr. Dilanka, and both went above and beyond throughout the journey. Kavin was incredibly knowledgeable about the history and culture, and his storytelling made even someone like me, who usually isn’t into history, feel genuinely interested and engaged. Really made the places come alive with his stories. Even he patiently answered all our questions. Always made sure everyone was safe and accounted for, and showed such genuine care especially towards our grandma, helping her without being asked whenever we encountered steep paths. They were always punctual, and the trip was well-organised while still being flexible. We made last-minute changes like shopping stops and watching a chariot procession, and the team made it all happen without any fuss and still kept us on track and made sure we didn't miss a thing. Even when my dad and I stayed back at the hotel, Kavin helped arrange a tuk-tuk to temple for us from afar, staying true to his word. He also treated us to little snacks during the journey and even brought flowers for our prayers with his own money thoughtful gestures we’ll never forget. At one point, I left something behind in the van, and they made sure it was returned to me, which I really appreciate their honesty. Mr. Dilanka was an excellent driver — calm, friendly, and always willing to help us get the best deals from local vendors. The entire team made us feel welcome and looked after, with great hotel choices and constant warmth and smiles. As a woman, I felt completely safe, respected, and cared for throughout the entire trip. I’d definitely say this company is visitor-friendly and one to look out for if you’re planning a trip to Sri Lanka. Thank you again for making our journey so special and unforgettable.Posted onBalaji U (Bala)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
