Small, personal tours of Sri Lanka with a trusted local driver-guide. From a single day to a full month — beaches, safari, ancient cities, hill country. We design the trip around you.
I'm Walter, founder of Walter Lanka Travels. Before starting this business I spent years in Sri Lanka's tourism industry, driving and guiding visitors across every corner of the island.
I've started this small, personal venture so I can offer something the bigger operators can't — a single trusted face for your whole journey, real flexibility, and the kind of insider knowledge you only get from years on these roads.
A comfortable air-conditioned car for up to 4 passengers, with a larger bus available on request. Clean, safe driving. Honest recommendations on hotels and stops. And an itinerary built around what you want to see.
Every tour includes me as your driver-guide, fuel, and a comfortable vehicle. Hotels, meals, and entrance tickets are arranged separately so you stay in control of your budget.
Air-conditioned car seating up to 4 passengers. For larger groups, I arrange a private bus on request.

Honest reviews from people who've travelled with me — straight from TripAdvisor.
It was such an unforgettable tour! Walter was honestly the best — kind, fun to talk to, and incredibly helpful. He went above and beyond from start to finish and made the whole day feel smooth and well planned. We got to enjoy so many different things.
Great experience with Walter — a very helpful man, concerned about our well-being and passionate about his country. Good driver and guide!
Excellent family road trip thanks to our amazing Walter driver-guide! He accompanied us from Kandy to Tangalle, via Nuwara Eliya and Ella. He adapted perfectly to what we wanted and was of great advice. Walter didn't just lead us — he showed us all the essentials, but also more confidential places we would never have found alone.
