About Diwan Tours

We’re a team of professional drivers and local tour experts based in Sri Lanka, and we’ve made it our mission to give every traveller the best possible experience on this island. Whether you need a punctual airport transfer, a scenic day trip to Ella, or a fully tailored 10-day island circuit, Diwan Tours handles the driving, the planning, and the details — so you can simply enjoy Sri Lanka.

Our Story


Diwan Tours grew out of a simple belief: that travelling Sri Lanka should be easy, comfortable, and genuinely personal. We started by helping a handful of tourists navigate the roads between Colombo and Kandy — and haven’t stopped since.

Over the years we’ve driven guests from every corner of the world: families from Australia planning their first Asian adventure, solo travellers from Europe on a two-week island loop, honeymooners from Singapore looking for secluded beaches, and corporate groups from the Middle East needing reliable transport. Each journey has taught us something new about what great service looks like.

Today, Diwan Tours covers the entire island — from Bandaranaike International Airport to the hill stations of Nuwara Eliya, from the ancient ruins of Anuradhapura to the southern shores of Mirissa — with a fleet of modern, air-conditioned vehicles and drivers who genuinely care about the experience.

Our Mission

To be the most trusted private driver and tour service in Sri Lanka — delivering safe, punctual, and comfortable journeys for every traveller, every time.


Safe & Reliable Transport

Every vehicle in our fleet is modern, well-maintained, and air-conditioned. Our drivers follow strict safety standards and know Sri Lanka’s roads inside out, so you can sit back and travel with complete confidence.

Honest, Transparent Pricing

We agree a fixed price before every journey. No meters, no surprise surcharges, no commission detours. What you’re quoted is what you pay.

Genuinely Personalised Service

No two travellers are the same, and we don’t treat them that way. From adjusting the day’s schedule to recommending the best local lunch spot, our team goes the extra mile to make your trip feel personal.

What We Do

From a single airport pickup to a full island itinerary, here’s how we can help make your Sri Lanka trip effortless.


Island-Wide Private Taxi

Comfortable, air-conditioned private transfers between any two points in Sri Lanka. Short hops between towns, long-haul cross-island drives, or flexible multi-stop journeys — our drivers are available island-wide, 24 hours a day.

Custom Sri Lanka Tour Packages

Tailor-made multi-day itineraries built around your interests, pace, and budget. We cover cultural highlights, wildlife safaris, beach escapes, and heritage trails — planning every route and logistics detail so you arrive at each destination fresh and on time.

Colombo Airport Transfers (CMB)

Punctual, fixed-price airport pickups and drop-offs from Bandaranaike International Airport to any hotel or destination in Sri Lanka. We track your flight, meet you at arrivals, and get you to your accommodation without the stress of negotiating with unknown drivers.

Private Day Trips & Excursions

Spend a day exploring Sri Lanka’s iconic sights — Sigiriya Rock, Dambulla Cave Temple, Kandy, Galle Fort, Yala National Park, and more — with a knowledgeable private driver-guide and a fully flexible schedule. No group tours, no rushed stops.
