Welcome to Ceylon Personal Chauffeurs, where we not only traverse the vibrant landscapes of modern Sri Lanka but also delve into its captivating past. Our island nation, known today as Sri Lanka, boasts a history steeped in ancient civilizations, colonial rule, and a journey of cultural transformation.
Formerly recognized as Ceylon, the island's historical narrative is a tapestry woven through time. The origins of human settlement here date back thousands of years, evidenced by archaeological finds that speak of early civilizations thriving along the island's coastlines. These ancient roots laid the foundation for the island's diverse cultural heritage.
The name "Ceylon" was bestowed upon the island during the period of European colonialism. Portuguese explorers, followed by the Dutch and then the British, established control over different regions of the island for trade and colonial expansion. It was the British who, during their rule, officially named the island "Ceylon."
Centuries later, as the country embarked on a journey towards independence, there emerged a desire to shed the colonial vestiges and embrace a new national identity. In 1972, the island nation chose to rebrand itself, adopting the name "Sri Lanka." This change marked a pivotal moment in the nation's history, signifying a renewed sense of sovereignty and cultural pride.
"Sri Lanka," meaning "resplendent island" in the Sinhala language, encapsulates the allure and beauty of this diverse land. The transition to Sri Lanka heralded a new era, celebrating the rich tapestry of cultures, languages, and traditions that define this remarkable nation.
At Ceylon Personal Chauffeurs, we honor this rich heritage as we guide you through the enchanting landscapes and historical landmarks of modern-day Sri Lanka. Our personalized tours offer a glimpse into the island's past, blending the echoes of ancient civilizations with the vibrancy of contemporary life.
Join us on a journey through time, exploring the depths of history and the allure of a nation reborn as Sri Lanka. Experience the warmth of its people, the splendor of its landscapes, and the rich tapestry of its cultural heritage.
Let Ceylon Personal Chauffeurs be your companion as you discover the treasures of this resplendent island, where history and modernity harmoniously converge.
We greatly value and appreciate the feedback from our guests,

Your best friend in Sri Lanka
Thilak is a very nice person and fun to be with, at the same time really professional. It was a huge help to have him as a driver in Sri Lanka, without him we couldn't have seen a fraction of the sights. He was very patient with me all the time, listened to even my most stupid requests carefully and did his best to satisfy us. (I work in tourism, too and can be quite demanding sometimes) I felt that every penny spent with his company was well worth it. We not only gained a lifetime experience, but also a good friend, which brought Sri Lanka a lot closer to our hearts. Thank you Thilak :))”
Professional and on time
Used Thilak's services again for ground transportation during my brief visit to Sri Lanka recently. Thilak was ever reliable and also he took extra care in ensuring comfort and safety as i was travelling alone. Despite late arrival hours he was there waiting till my hotel check in was complete and also was on time for my pick ups despite it being very early in the mornings. Ever reliable and will definitely opt to use his services again. Highly recommended.”
Very professional and reliable
I went to Sri Lanka with two other girl friends. Thilak was our driver/guide for whole trip and we all are very very happy with his professional behaviour. He is very reliable and took extra care of all three of us as it was all girls trip. Always on time, very polite and he knows the places very well which helped us do good shopping ???? and taste local tea with some good local snacks. Not to forget that his driving skills are too good !”
2021 Sri Lankan Tour
Thilak is a friendly and responsibility person, it was very fun for us to have a trip with Thilak. He was the one to show us the interesting places and be the responsible driver. We were very happy to go on a trip to Srilanka, and it was more fun because we could gather with Thilak and have a great time. Thilak was kind for all my friends, and I requested all of my other friends to travel to Srilanka and have a great time with Thilak. Thilak always was responsible for our journey to be safe. I felt like every since cent I spent on this trip was very useful. I only didn't discover the places I even discovered more people and made new friends. I will visit Srilanka and meet Thilak????”

Tilak, did an excellent job, very nice human being, he was always on time, took us to places which were not part of the itinerary in free time, took our pictures :) . The tour was amazing, packed so much in just a few days. The accommodation was wonderful and the food experiences truly memorable. Especially if you are a solo traveler and you should choose Tilak right away for your travel. He put extra effort to make his travelers happy.
