*3 day trip*
The tour was planned very very well, we got to see a lot and felt safe during the whole time. We'd love to come back and do another tour with Darshana! Highly recommend them.response / report this review -

Awesome 10 days trip
We spent 10 days traveling with Darshana in Sri Lanka and it has been one of the best trips of our lives!
Since the first minute, his team helped us organizing the trip recommending us the best places and cities to visit. Communication was always fluent and he replied to all our questions.
Once we were there, Darshana welcomed us at the airport and took us to every place we wanted as planned! The car was very well equipped and he took care that everyday the car was as clean as the first day. During our trip, Darshana took us to places that we didn’t even think about visiting, took a lot of photographs for us, explained us the history of this awesome country and drove us to the best restaurants / secret spots frequented by locals.
In a nutshell, we definitely recommend going with Darshana Tours if you are planning to go to Sri Lanka. You will forget about any worries and make the best of your trip!
Increíble viaje con Darshana Tours.
Darshana y su equipo se han preocupado de que nuestro viaje a Sri Lanka fuera lo mejor posible, atendiendo todas nuestras peticiones y ayudándonos a organizarlo desde el primer momento.
El coche estaba genial equipado (podías hasta cargar el móvil) y siempre impoluto como el primer día.
En cuanto al trato, nuestro conductor fue impecable, nos llevó a los mejores sitios, nos hizo fotos, nos explicó mil cosas sobre el país, nos recomendó los mejores planes para poder sacar el máximo partido y hacer que nuestro viaje fuera un 10!
Si duda repetiría la experiencia y confiaría con los ojos cerrados en Darshana y su equipo.
100% profesionales y 100% cuidadoso con sus clientes.response / report this review -

Amazing 14 Days Trip Around Sri Lanka
From the minute we landed and met our Driver Hasi, who greeted us with a beautiful lei, to the final farewell, we have been very well taken care of. Thanks to Darshana and Hasi we have been able to see and do everything on our very extensive wish list. We realised from day one that this trip would not be possible without the incredible assistance of both Gentlemen. We really appreciated all the personal attention, flexibility, shared knowledge about the local culture and customs and Hasi's friendly and professional approach. Hasi made sure we had everything we needed and never left our side during our excursions which made us feel safe and added to our overall enjoyment. Every day was a new adventure and we loved every minute of it.
We are extremely happy and would highly recommend Darshana's services and Hasi as a Personal Driver. We took time to research and find the most reliable driver services, coming to Sri Lanka for the first time, and we think we found the best one. After spending two weeks together with Hasi we are proud of calling him our friend.
Thank you Darshana and Hasi for your hospitality and we are hoping to see you again.response / report this review -

Our HONEST review!
Nothing could have topped our first time in Sri Lanka! I know it’s always hard to base your choice on other people’s reviews, but I PROMISE, please stop looking further & just choose Darshana Tours already!
Darsha was our driver, and what an amazing, humble & kind person he is! More than just a “tour guide”, he immediately became our close friend. We didn’t had much time and wanted to see as many highlights in Sri Lanka within 7 days. He suggested the best 7 days itinerary, suggested the best hotels within our budget, suggested the most instagram-able places for pictures, suggested the best restaurants & food and our whole experience was based on his recommendations. Darsha and his drivers know Sri Lanka by heart, they’re locals, and there is NO way we could have had the same experience if we had to organize everything ourselves.
The car is comfortable and cleaned every single day. He was always 15 min before on time (even though we were sometimes a bit late in the morning, sorry Darsha! ). He’s a pro at understanding when to give you space & time alone, but we enjoyed his company a lot!
I can literally write a whole essay about how amazing this trip was, but if you’re still reading this, you should be convinced by now!response / report this review -

I have never had a personal driver before as being a lone female traveller I have always felt apprehensive about being driven around however Darshana exceeded in my expectations and I have felt safe 100% of the time.
I only had 6 days and I wanted to pack in as much as possible but had quite a lengthy itinerary, this was not a problem when I arranged it with Darshana and throughout the trip he always tailored it to my needs. I seen Negombo, Polonaruwa, Sigiriya, Kandy, Ella, Mirissa, Tangalle and Colombo and he managed to fit in all the stops that I wanted to see. He was also a good laugh to be around and never allowed me to be ripped off which is always good if you are budgeting.
Food wise he would know all the local spots for a very good price-all of which were amazing.
Honestly, cannot recommend Darshana enough he was a great driver, tour guide and friend and has made my Sri Lankan trip unforgettable and all for a very good price.
Thankyou so much Darshana!response / report this review -

If you are looking to experience everything that Sri Lanka has to offer, look no further than Darshana Tours. When we were first planning the trip, Darshana was very flexible with our itinerary and suggested good places to go that we had not heard of. He did his best and worked very hard to make sure we got to see everything that we wanted in the one week we were in Sri Lanka. He responded to all of my messages within one hour with answers to my questions. He was very friendly and I already felt like he was more like a friend than a driver. When we arrived at the Colombo airport , he found us quickly and brought us to the colombo mosque through crowded traffic, which was far out of the way. Darshana worked very hard to make sure that both my wife and I were happy, well fed and hydrated on the way to Sigiriya. He drove late in the night while we were sleeping to our hotel. We loved the elephant safari that he arranged for us and the bike ride through the polonnaruva ruins. Darshana is more than just a driver; he is also a very knowledgeable guide. So you will be getting a good guide and driver for a very affordable price. Darshana went above and beyond what was expected of him. He even found an authentic Sri Lankan cricket jersey for me in Kandy. He also ran to the train station to make sure we had tickets from Nuwara Eliya to Ella. He is an extremely hard worker, he also likes to have fun and wants to make sure you have the best time possible. I can safely say that Sri Lanka is the best country I’ve visited of the 50 I’ve been too because of Darshana. After the trip, I was sad to leave. Like I mentioned before, he is more than a driver or guide, Darshana is a great friend. I recommend him highly to anyone visiting this beautiful country.

What a memorable journey organized by Darshana 10days tours in Sri Lanka.I feel really great from the whole tour. Darshana is a very considerate and nice private driver and tour guide. He is highly responsible and pay attention on details on my tour. Although my tour schedule is a little bit tight and rush, Darshana always makes everything happened more than I expect. Darshana is a local travel expert in Sri Lanka, I communicate with him in English all well. He is a good driver and always ensure I have a safe journey. Darshana arrange great and fruitful sightseeing plan for my tour. There's nothing I can complain and unsatisfied. I have no doubt at all to recommend Darshana be your private driver and tour guide if you are planning a trip to Sri Lanka. I believe he will make a great trip for you.
參與了Darshana 10天斯里蘭卡環島遊，整個旅程感觉十分良好。Darshana是位十分友善的司機和導遊，十分盡責和細心。即使我的旅程安排已十分緊迫，但Darshana仍一一為我安排得盡善盡美。Darshana是位本地斯里蘭卡人，但全程用英语溝通並没有問題。Darshana 在旅程上駕駛十分安全且舒適，當次旅程安排坐駕是Honda Fits, 絕對適合2～3人組團。Darshana安排了很多值得一去的觀光行程，並没有帶我去些騙旅客的地方，Darshana甚至為我和當地人議價，可見他是位誠實又盡責的人。我極力推荐Darshana成為你唯一的斯里蘭卡導旅和司機。response / report this review -

Had a spare 9 days , got in touch with Darshana tours to request a itinerary that would take in a few sites and experiences that I have not done before , he arranged white water rafting and a few other areas of interest to my needs .
Since my last visit the tour guide as purchased a new vehicle which was comfortable and could accommodate 4 people.
The driver was included in the cost of the hire and was polite and knowledgable throughout my short stay.
I will be returning again and will use the tour company again because I felt safe with the tour company and driver through out my visit which ended with them dropping me off at the airport , pick up and drop off was included.
They arranged all accommodation on the tour to suit my price range.response / report this review -

30 days archaeological and cultural tour of Sri Lanka with Darshana Tours.
Awesome. I enjoyed every moment.
I was taken all around the island to all the major cities and sites, but we also visited less touristic religious, natural or archaeological places, which were really out of the way and most of the time not on my itinerary.
I am not an easy traveller due to my specific interests. Darshana Tours prepared a perfect itinerary for me. The trip flowed easily and efficiently, giving me time for both visits and relaxation. They can organize guides and safaris in prime sites. My favourite park was Minneriya.
I chose to eat at local curry places or bakeries which I found very rewarding.
Out of 17 different hotels, I would stay again everywhere, except at the Kite Surfing Beach Resort in Kalpitiya and Villa Tea Fields in Nuwera Eliya, which were my own choice and which I wouldn’t recommend. I would leave the bookings to Darshana Tours, because they can get the best rate (hotels in Sri Lanka bump up their usual rates by the commission percentage for bookings sites).
Finally, I found Darshana Supun and Shanil Perera who both drove me on the tour to be very safe and reliable drivers, always ready to help and allow me to see what I wanted. They went out of their way to ensure I had a memorable experience.
Darshana Tours is efficient and trustworthy and I would travel with them again if I return to Sri Lanka. Highly recommended.response / report this review
