    Our two day tour with Neel has been fantastic! Neel is very friendly and an excellent driver. We only had some ideas of what we wanted to see and he showed us even more of this beautiful country. The trip has far surpassed our expectations! Bohoma istouti!

    already the second time with the best driver Neel - and we will do it again! Neel was our driver across Sri Lanka for 18 days. From safari, city tour, hiking, beach or jungle... he always responded flexibly to every request and always found good accommodation for us. about 300km in chaotic Sri Lankan traffic - Neel is a great driver and we always felt safe. The vehicle was freshly cleaned every morning. he was always on time and you can rely on him 100%. There are no rip-offs here! He has become an honest man and a good friend.

    We looked online for a driver in Sri Lanka and found Sri Shannon Tours. Neel drove us from Negombo everywhere during our vacation. Planned were only 3 days, it became 10 days - via Kandy, Ella, Yala and Mirissa. And it was the best decision! No trip was boring, Neel told us a lot about the country and everything we saw on our way. He stopped everywhere on the way when there was something to see and helped us with all organizational things (train tickets, safari etc.). Everywhere we got the best prices. All drives were really comfortable and had a great car with AC. Highly recommend a tour with Neel!

    Excellent trip across Sri Lanka by our tour guide Neel. Super informative, knowledgeable, patient, helpful and most important flexible. We made a lot of adjustments to our itinerary but it was never a problem for Neel. He always made sure we were ok and happy. 10/10 definitely recommend and I will use again when I’m next in Sri Lanka

    We hired SriShannon Tours for 9 days during our tour around Sri Lanka. Their service was excellent and I highly recommend! Our drivers name was Kavindu and if you are lucky enough to get him for your tour, you will be very glad. He was an amazing tour guide and driver. By the end of our trip he became a good friend. Request him if you get the chance!

    Neel is a wonderful organizer and tour guide. He showed us the best of Sri Lanka even if it meant to change plans or find additional accomodations so that we could see the elephants, the jungle, the history and the culture of his country

    I have used Neel's services already twice, and I must say he is a fantastic driver. He knows a lot of places and can arrange any type of accommodation for you, or just drive you around. He is very friendly, punctual, and takes care of your stuff. Unlike other drivers, he does not urge you to buy things at places of his friends. Just now that inside places like sigirya rock etc. they have extra licensed guides, the drivers cannot show you around these places. Recommended!

    goes out of his way to make sure our time in Sri Lanka was well spent. Helped us with the booking of hotels and even gave recommendations on where to go and what time to be there. He's also entertaining, knowledgeable and friendly. πŸ‘

    My girlfriend and I were in Sri Lanka in October 2023, staying in Negombo, and did 4 day trips with Sri Shannon Tours. Neel our driver was extremely professional, friendly, helpful, and we had a wonderful time visiting Colombo, Kandy, Galle, and exploring Negombo. I can’t recommend Sri Shannon Tours and Neel highly enough. The tours were all in a fully air-conditioned vehicle, and Neel was kind enough to personalise some aspects of the tours. Sri Shannon Tours offer safe, great value for money trips, we’re already planning our next holiday to Sri Lanka with some friends, where we plan to do a ten day tour with Sri Shannon Tours to continue exploring this wonderful country.

    We did 4 day trips with Neel and he did everything possible to make sure we had the most wonderful time. I have car motion sickness and Neel stopped multiple times for me, bought me medicine and took alternative routes to try and help me ease my sickness. He is a very safe and skilled driver and knows all that there is to see and experience in Sri Lanka for every kind of traveller and every kind of experience. Neel stopped whenever we wanted a coffee/cigarette/snack break, quickly adjusting to how we like to travel (taking our time and soaking up the atmosphere). Neel thinks on his feet and is able to personalise the tours throughout so that we had the best time ever and got the most out of all our experiences with him. Can't wait to return and see more of enchanting Sri Lanka with Neel!

    We engaged the services of Neel to take us on a 9 day tour of Sri Lanka. We found him to be helpful, knowledgeable, kind and caring as he took us on an enchanting journey. As a driver he was careful and skilled and we felt safe at all times. He stopped at important sites of interest and was always available to attend to our needs. He made our experience a thoroughly enjoyable one and shared his knowledge on good hotels, places of interest and restaurants. He helped us get some very favorable hotel rates. Our whole experience in his beautiful country was made even more special with Neel to drive, guide and suggest..... We are very happy we chose Sri Shannon Tours. He comes very highly recommended.

    We recently embarked on an unforgettable adventure to Sri Lanka with Shri Shannon Tours, and I am thrilled to share our exceptional experience. From the moment we set foot in this enchanting land to the time we bid farewell, Neel’s expertise and dedication made our trip memorable. What truly set Neel apart was his unwavering courtesy and willingness to cater to our preferences. His flexibility in tailoring the journey according to our needs made us feel not like clients, but like cherished guests. Neel’s warm and helpful nature made the entire trip feel like traveling with a friend who had our best interests at heart. As I reflect on our time in Sri Lanka, I am filled with gratitude for Neel’s exceptional guidance and professionalism. Our journey was made extraordinary by his thoughtful planning and dedication to ensuring our comfort and enjoyment. Sri Shannon Tours provided us with an unforgettable expedition through the rich tapestry of Sri Lanka’s culture, nature, and history. If you’re seeking an authentic and personalized travel experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Neel Tours. We eagerly look forward to embarking on future adventures in Sri Lanka with Neel.

    We had an incredible experience in Sri Lanka. The itinerary was thoughtfully crafted by Mr.Neel. The accommodations were top notch, providing both comfort and an authentic feel of the region. Mr. Neel is well experienced and has exceptional knowledge of the country. If you’re considering a trip to Sri Lanka, look no further than this tour operator.

    Amazing travel experience with Neel.he is the most knowledgeable, kind and helpful person. His advice of which place to visit, where to stay and where to explore local cuisine is awesome. We travelled with kids and he was the most helpful with them even when they were sick, he helped with local doctor and medicines. He has contacts for the best safari deal also. We took the 10 day tour with him and it was worth the money. I would recommend him anyday and anytime we visit again, we will always call Neel. Thanks Neel

    Neel is a great person to be with as your tour driver in Srilanka . We were on family vacation and we used his services. His nature of being flexible is excellent to curate and cater to the needs of the client. He is also very sensitive and humble in his nature and drives safely and comfortably. His presence of mind to make special moments is very thoughtful . We were celebrating 2 birthdays during our visit and he surprised us with beautiful gestures which is unforgettable. He is now upgrading his Vehicle so you will have more comfort when you choose him. As part of your trip you need to understand that a separate tour guide needs to be taken at places you choose to visit as Neel will help you find them. We would definitely recommend and opt Neel’s services in future . All the very best Neel.

  • 5/5 Abhishek S. 10 months ago on Google
    I recently had the most incredible experience exploring the breathtaking beauty of Sri Lanka, all thanks to Mr. Neel for his Hospitality and Service. He is such a nice, calm and humble person. We liked his hospitality and will give 10 on 10 for that. He is an excellent driver and his deep knowledge of Sri Lanka's roads made us feel safe and comfortable at every step of the way. He made sure that all the places in our itinerary should be covered within time and he is very much flexible in that regard. We had completed almost all the places which were there in our itinerary. Also he showed some beautiful places which we couldn't have thought of visiting. From our arrival to departure he was on time and things went so smoothly. He not only ensured that we reach each destination on time, but also shared fascinating insights about the country's history, culture, and hidden gems. Hotels booked by him were too good. We not only enjoyed srilankan places but also enjoyed our stay in Hotels. Being a Local Guide I would recommend him as a #Great Tour operator. Book him blindly and you won't regret it.

    We booked a 14 day trip around Sri Lanka. It was a safe and fun tour around. We are thinking of coming back and will book him again. He has the knowledge about Sri Lanka a lot and knows the attractions very well. So, you are in good hands when you are with him.

  • 5/5 John Van P. 8 months ago on Google
    Neel took my wife and I on a very interesting 3 hour tour around Negombo. He gave us a very good commentary in excellent spoken English. We visited some Catholic churches, a Hindu temple, a Buddist temple, the fishing harbour, the Dutch canal and the fish market. Excellent personal service for a very fair price thank you Neel.
