Tailor-Made Travel

You don't have to follow our tour plans

My tour programmes are ideas to start from — not rules. If you'd rather spend three days on the beach, add a second safari, skip the temples or stay longer in the hills, we simply change the plan. Every tailor-made trip is private, flexible and built around your interests, your pace and your budget.

Already have an itinerary? Send it to me. I'll check the route and driving times, suggest improvements from local experience, and arrange everything — or just the parts you need.

Questions

Tailor-Made Tour FAQ

What is a tailor-made tour?

A private trip planned only for you — your places, your pace, your hotels and your budget — rather than a fixed group tour.

Can I send you my own itinerary?

Yes, please do. I'll check the route and driving times, suggest improvements from local experience, and arrange it for you.

Can you arrange only some parts of my trip?

Yes. You can book just transport, a guide, hotels, a safari or a vehicle rental — whatever you need.

How long should my Sri Lanka trip be?

One week covers the highlights; two weeks lets you add the beach, more wildlife or hiking at a relaxed pace. Any length is possible.

Can you arrange bicycles, scooters or a car to drive myself?

Yes. I can arrange bicycles, scooters, motorbikes and cars. To drive yourself you'll need your licence and the local driving permit, which I can help with.

Can I change the plan during the trip?

Yes. It's your private tour, so we can adjust days, stops and activities along the way whenever possible.

How quickly will you reply?

Usually within a few hours, seven days a week.
