About AroundCeylon Tours

Your Trusted Sri Lanka Travel Partner Since 2019

Our Story

Passionate About Sharing
the Real Sri Lanka

AroundCeylon Tours was founded in 2019 with a single belief: that the best way to experience Sri Lanka is through the eyes of someone who truly loves it. Based in Divulapitiya — a quiet town in the Western Province, just an hour from Colombo — we are not a large corporate agency. We are a dedicated team of local guides, drivers, and travel experts who have spent years exploring every corner of this extraordinary island.

We started small, taking our first guests to Sigiriya and Kandy with a single vehicle and a lot of passion. Word spread. Travellers from the UK, Australia, Germany, India, and beyond began to trust us with their most precious holidays. Five years later, we have welcomed over 500 happy travellers and earned a reputation for personalised service, honest pricing, and the kind of local knowledge that no guidebook can replicate.

What sets us apart is simple: we treat every guest as a friend, not a booking reference. When you travel with AroundCeylon Tours, you will have the personal WhatsApp number of your guide before you even land. We are available before, during, and after your trip — because your peace of mind matters to us.
