Second time, and exceeded our expectations again We had an incredible trip with Wasana Leisure Tours in 2015 with our young children, so when we found ourselves back in Sri Lanka 10 years later we reached out and couldn’t be happier with the excellent service they provided, accommodating our last minute requests and making a second wonderful experience for us. They are so kind and accommodating and affordable!

Review from a returning customer We have been using Wasana Travels for our short visits around Sri Lanka for the past two years, and the experience has always been excellent. Mr. Wasana consistently welcomes us with a warm smile and ensures punctual pick-ups and drop-offs every time. His reliability gives us great peace of mind when traveling. He is very knowledgeable about Sri Lanka and especially well-connected around popular tourist hotspots. Thanks to his good relationships with locals, we often receive valuable inside information and helpful recommendations that make our trips even more special. We truly appreciate his professionalism, friendliness, and dedication, and we highly recommend Wasana Travels to anyone looking for a trustworthy and experienced driver in Sri Lanka.

Couldn't rate our tour more highly An excellent tour. We arrived as the tragic disaster affecting the centre of Sri Lanka unfolded. We noted the Sri Lankan government encouragement of tourists in areas not directly affected by the cyclone to help businesses relying on tourists for business and we adapted our tour with Wasana accordingly. Our tour was so good. Wasana used local guides for activities like at Polonnaruwa, Sigiriya (Lion rock and safari), all real highlights especially our safari guide who was an elephant whisperer - predicting where they'll go and positioning us nearby). And when things didnt go according to plan and we needed hospital level care, Wasana couldn't have been more helpful and caring. Best tour guide ever.

Highly recommend this service for everyone who is curious and seeking adventurous experience in Sri Lanka. Wasana tours provided a great service during our trips made to historic places in Sri Lanka. In addition to the comfortable, reliable experience we had, we were also guided and en routed through few other landmarks and discoveries which were unknown to us.

Next time again with Wasana Leisure Tours! The 10 days tour with Wasana was perfectly organised and flexible enough to cover spontaneous wishes. Wasana is a good driver and we always felt safe in his comfortable car. The tour covered a large variety of aspects as nature, culture, wildlife, local food and trecking. Wasana is a really sympathic person, always relaxed and answering all our questions. We got to know Sri Lanka from a very special side, learned a lot about the religion, the culture and the people. Next time in Sri Lanka we will travel with Wasana Leisure Tours again!
