Mr. Manjula is much more than a Taxi driver!
My husband and I met him outside Colombo’s Airport and he drove us all around Sri Lanka.
Thanks to his advices, we had the opportunity to visit some of the most interesting places, out from the classic touristic paths.
Moreover he gave us many explanations about local flora and wildlife, but also culture, traditions and ancient legends of the Island.
He explains everything with pleasure
and he loves to show his country to visitors at a very competitive price!
Manjula was our driver & tour guide .
He is excellent, friendly , polite and most importantly very Safe with people and surroundings with us. He cared for us and especially my 2.5,yr old son. He looked after him while we had a massage. Not only that he carried our son during hikes and tours that were tiring. He was also amazing with bringing us to all the local spots with good food/drinks and ambience. He gave us a wholesome trip throughout our holiday. We even when to Jaffna & delft islands which he did not need to come but still came for us and spent time together along with booking us the boat ride etc . Thank you for this special experience that we will always cherish and remember. I highly recommend Manjula for your trip. We will definitely come again and look forward to booking with you.
We had such an amazing week touring Sri Lanka with Manjula who has an uncanny ability create a friendly comfortable atmosphere, while giving you time and space to enjoy and explore with your travel buddies. He was excellent in anticipating our wants and needs and a special local touch everywhere we went. Thanks Manjula for such an unforgettable time touring around your beautiful country.
Manjula was professional from start to end and took care of all our needs, even going out of the way to arrange additional tours and showing us sights along the way. He was clear in his communication and was straightforward with his charges. He also shared his knowledge on Sri Lanka and the culture with us. Thank you for taking care of us. Will definitely recommend!!
Manjula was very polite and friendly person. Despite our last minute plans, he was always accommodating to our needs. Great guy and highly recommended him for your travel plans in Sri Lanka!
I’ve visited Sri Lanka twice and used Manjula as my driver-guide both times: first for a 7-day journey through the coast and tea country, and later for a 3-day Cultural Triangle trip. Having travelled with him on two very different itineraries, I can confidently say I would choose him again without hesitation.
Manjula is an exceptionally thoughtful and reliable guide who plans everything with great care. He consistently recommended the best timings to visit places, helped us avoid the crowds where possible, and brought us to spots and experiences (like roadside buffalo curd, mango tasting) we would never have discovered on our own. His planning made each trip feel seamless and very well paced.
Most importantly, he is someone you can completely trust. He is professional, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure everything is comfortable and runs smoothly.
Over the course of two trips, he has become a friend. If you’re considering travelling in Sri Lanka and want someone knowledgeable, dependable, and genuinely invested in making your trip special, I highly recommend Manjula and Hesalni Tours.
