years on Sri Lankan roads
For more than 25 years I have been driving travellers across Sri Lanka, from the rock of Sigiriya to the tea hills of Ella and the whales of Mirissa. I’m not a big agency: when you book Island Walkers, you travel with me, in my own van, at your own pace.
I know where to wait for the best train seats, which family restaurants serve real Sri Lankan rice and curry at honest prices, and when to arrive before the crowds. My promise is simple: you relax, I take care of the rest.

Everything about hiring a private driver in Sri Lanka. Can’t find your answer? Send your question with the booking form.
The price depends on the vehicle, the number of days and the distance. Your quote always includes the driver, fuel, highway tolls, parking and the driver’s accommodation and meals, so there are no hidden extras. Send your dates and wishes and Susil replies with a free, fixed quote within 24 hours.
Yes. A licensed private driver is the safest and most relaxing way to see the island. Susil is registered with the Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority (SLTDA), has more than 25 years of experience and drives fully insured, well-maintained vehicles. Reviews regularly mention his calm, careful driving.
Susil guides in English. Many of his guests come from France, Germany and Switzerland, and simple English is all you need. You are welcome to send your booking request in French, German or Italian through this website; we reply in clear, simple English.
Yes, airport pick-ups at Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB) are available 24/7. Susil follows your flight, waits in the arrivals hall with your name and has cold water ready in the car.
Of course. It’s your private tour. If you love a place and want to stay longer, or want to skip something, just tell Susil. He adapts the plan, often with tips that aren’t in any guidebook.
The driver’s accommodation and meals are already included in your price. Most hotels in Sri Lanka have special driver rooms, so you don’t need to organise anything.
