Common questions
Anything else? Message us on WhatsApp and we will answer.
Is the vehicle only for us?
Yes. On a private tour the vehicle and driver-guide are only for your group, for the whole trip.
How many days do we need?
A week covers the classic route. Five days works for Kandy, tea country and the coast; ten to fifteen days lets you add wildlife and beaches slowly.
Where does the driver sleep?
Hotels provide a guide room, usually free of charge. You don’t need to arrange anything.
