Me together with my wife had the luck to hire Pradeep as our driver for 15 days.
I can say from the beginning that the name of "safest driver"... read more is absolutely true. During all our trips we felt safe, he drove carefully and always anticipating the traffic.
The communication was great & easy as Pradeep has a great English. Anytime we needed an advice he replied quick on WhatsApp.
Also the planning itself was great and very clear written via the initial emails. He suggested some nice places to visit. Never force anything and always was transparent to us. Even on the trip to Sigiriya he gave us some tips on how to refuse the guides (which we didn't want) so it was all a honest experience.
To recap: good price, great vibe, always on time, always willing to help! Next time we'll visit Sri Lanka we'll surely use the services again!

I was pleased with the booking and communication via email to the company before the trip. It was well organised and they were helpful when amending our itinerary. Our driver... read more was Lucky he was professional, helpful and informative. He ensured we got to destinations safely along the trip and was prompt with timing each day. We really enjoyed the safaris and he took it upon himself to organise this for us which was helpful as this was on our first day.
A few improvements that we thought would have made the trip even smoother, firstly it states we book tickets and this is not included in the package price so we were aware of this and wanted to book our train tickets to Ella, but then we were told the day before by Lucky that he had already purchased them and it was not the class we wanted. Therefore we were rather disappointed with this because it occurred unnecessary costs as it been booked for us. Although we booked a driver and it does state we can choose if they can aid in a way as a tour guide we felt that this was not an option for us and at times we were made to feel bad that we didn’t want a tour guide and just wanted to explore at our own pace. I know this means Lucky was trying to help as much as possible but each client has different wants for their trip.
Overall, I would recommend to friends travelling to Sri Lanka.
We recently had 8 days with Pradeep (Sri Lanka Safest Driver) travelling through a significant part of the country. We suggested the itinerary to Pradeep and he was able to... read more accommodate our requests perfectly. Pradeep was a safe driver and was an excellent host with strong local historical knowledge. He was always on time for pick up and expected drop offs to hotels and he knew the areas exceptionally well. "Sri Lanka Safest Driver" was able to vary the day as we required and stops for photos and rest breaks where never an issue. Pradeep was a 100% organized with fuel and the vehicle we drove in (Prius) was impeccably clean and reliable each and every day. We can absolutely recommend "Sri Lanka Safest Driver" and if you are considering a trip to Sri Lanka (stunning country) then don't hesitate to to get in touch with these guys.
