My wife and I have just completed an 8 day tour of Sri Lanka with Grand Tour who have been absolutely brilliant in every respect. Ashi was so helpful in the planning phase and added so much value to my basic plan — the trip we wound up with offered so much and the pricing was very reasonable. We met our guide Indika the day before and we had a very good feeling right away.

It's thankful to choose GrandTour to organise our trip in Sri Lanka. The company always replied me immediately when I asked any questions about our trip. Also, they are very welcome to adjust arrangement of the trip according to our willingness. The tour guide — Nuwan is very professional. He let us knew more about the history and nowadays of Sri Lanka.

Esperienza fantastica! La guida Indika era preparata, appassionata e sempre disponibile a rispondere a domande e curiosità. L'itinerario era ben strutturato, con tempi giusti e spiegazioni interessanti, senza mai risultare noioso. La compagnia si è dimostrata molto professionale, puntuale e attenta ai dettagli.

A small island, an enormous variety
Golden sand, swaying palms and some of the calmest turquoise water on the south coast — built for slow mornings and long dinners by the tide.
The world's highest density of leopards, alongside elephants and sloth bears, on Sri Lanka's most celebrated safari grounds.
Home to "The Gathering" — one of Asia's largest seasonal elephant congregations, set against open grassland plains.
Why travellers choose GrandTour
With a private fleet of comfortable, air-conditioned vehicles and a bench of highly experienced English and other languages speaking chauffeur guides, we build every trip from a shortlist of over 50 destinations and 100+ hand-vetted hotels — then stay reachable for the whole time you're on the island.
Secure, encrypted payments
Straight from the road
Real send-offs, real welcomes, real trips — a rolling look at the guests we've hosted this season.
Before you ask, we answer
Yes. Sri Lanka is a well-established, welcoming destination for travellers from the US, UK, Canada, Australia and Europe. Our private vehicles and English-speaking guides mean you're never navigating on your own, and our 24/7 support line is answered throughout your trip.
You travel privately, on your own schedule, in your own vehicle with your own chauffeur guide — no fixed departure dates, no waiting on a group, and no itinerary you didn't ask for. You can start from one of our sample plans or build entirely from scratch.
Sri Lanka's two monsoon systems mean somewhere on the island is in good weather almost year-round. Tell us your travel dates and priorities — beaches, hill country, wildlife — and we'll route you toward the best conditions at the time.
We recommend 6–8 weeks ahead for the best hotel availability in peak season (December–March), though we regularly plan excellent trips on much shorter notice. Reach out and we'll tell you honestly what's realistic for your dates.
Every quote is itemised in writing before you pay a cent: accommodation, private transport, a chauffeur guide, entrance fees and standard activities are typically included. Optional extras like diving, balloon rides or specific restaurants are always flagged separately — no surprise costs on the road.
Your holiday, your rules
Tell us a little about the trip you're picturing — how many travelling, roughly when, and what you love — and one of our local specialists will send back a free, no-obligation itinerary within 24 hours.
