      Unique way to see the sights of Colombo
      We had a great time travelling around in the Jeep and visiting places we couldn't have found on our own. Manju our guide was brilliant. Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He was a pleasure to be with.

      Fantastic Colombo Tour by War Jeep – Highly Recommended
      We had an amazing 4-hour tour of Colombo with Manju as our driver and guide. From start to finish, everything was professional and well-organised. Viator kept us informed with helpful WhatsApp messages leading up to the tour, and the pick-up/drop-off from our hotel in the suburbs was very convenient. The tour itself was a fantastic way to see the city’s major landmarks without feeling rushed. Manju was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights about each site. He also took plenty of photos for us and sent them via WhatsApp afterward, which was a great touch. The war jeep added a unique and fun element to the experience, and the cool boxes stocked with beer and soft drinks were much appreciated in the Colombo heat! Overall, this tour was excellent value for money and a perfect way to get an overview of the city before exploring the rest of Sri Lanka. Highly recommended!"

      Lakpura for the win!
      Lakpura was tip top. They communicated immediately and continued communicating throughout my trip to ensure everything was professing as planned. Made my visit so effortless. Will use when I return!

      Great experience
      We had a great experience! Our driver Darmasiri was fantastic and very knowledgable. We saw such a range of animals, alongside many many elephants. There was also a smooth pick up and drop off back at our hotel. Couldn’t recommend enough.

      Great safari - bring snacks
      Great trip, saw lots of wildlife and the drivers were very helpful at spotting the wildlife and explaining facts etc. One small issue was that it started so early we weren't able to get breakfast as nowhere was open and no snacks provided, so it's useful to arrange something to take. The driver was great and stopped at a place for us to pick something up when we got there (6am) otherwise we'd have been falling over from hunger.

      Elephant Splendor!
      I booked my Safari through Lakpura Tourism and under the stewardship of Hansika and Kani I was able to enjoy an amazing sunset Safari where we saw many elephants, water buffalo, birds, crocodiles, and even a monitor lizard! The Safari was amazing, but the service provided by the Lakpura team was top notch. They were extremely communicative making the trip completely stress free from a logistical standpoint. I look forward to using Lakpura the next time I return!

      Fantastic Experience
      I booked a private car for myself for 10 days with a chauffeur cum guide. I also booked 3 activities through Lakpura. 1- Sigiriya Village Tour with Bull cart ride, boat ride, traditional village lunch and Tuk Tuk ride with hotel pick and drop. 2- Minneriya Elephant Afternoon Jeep Safari 3, Elephant ride from Sigiriya. Minus points - I was originally offered a sedan car which got changed at the last minute to a maturity wagon r. I did not mind this since I was a Solo traveler and my only condition was the car had to be in a good condition and have a powerful aircon which it did. The activities that I booked through Lakpura I quickly learnt was a big mistake since they over charged me like crazy and also took me to cheaper sightseeing places than what I booked. For example instead of Minneriya I was taken to a cheaper park Hurulu Eco and did the elephant ride there. When I brought to their notice they agreed to refund me 15000 LkR however I still feel I was heavily overcharged. Not happy with this. Plus points - Lakpura did arrange for a cheaper car option for my 10 days trip amounting to 500 USD with all inclusive - Toll, Parking Charged, Full tank Fuel, unlimited mileage within the given route of my designed itinerary, insurance, First Aid, High way Fees, Drivers accommodation, his meals and any other expenses, any other charges on road and 1.5 litres of sealed water bottle per day. Sri Nanda Perera was an excellent chauffeur cum guide cum friend. He took great care of me during the entire 10 days of trip and made sure that I did not face any problems, helped me beyond my expectations to ensure my trip was excellent and form good memories to take back home. His family was very nice and I spoke with his mother and his 3 kids. His mother made wood apple juice and wood apple puree for me because I wanted to taste the fruit. Sri Nanda also on the way bought me so many new Srilankan fruits, ice cream, Pizza, local snacks, tea and lion Beer on his own cost so that I get to experience the variety of new fruits that I don’t get in India. Sri Nanda is a very fun person and he became my friend so I take away another good friend memories from my trip. Sri Nanda also helped me buy sports shoes at a very reasonable price in Colombo since mine were completely worn out and torn from the trip. Sri Nanda on the last day also helped me exchange my LkR balance money to USD which I used to purchase Whisky for my Father from the duty free outlet at airport. Overall I had a blast in Srilanka for which I will always retain these wonderful memories and wonderful Srilankan people I met during my 10 days trip. Thank you my friend Sri Nanda Perera and I wish you from the bottom of my heart all success in your journey in life to make it to a big successful person in whatever you aspire to do for future businesses.

      Great service topped off with a leopard sighting
      Great service! Picked up from our hotel in Galle and taken to Yala National Park - was really happy with the safe driving of Jiwantha and his recommendation for lunch. The Guide around the Park was passionate about the animals and explained things well. We saw a leopard which was really special. Thanks for the great experience

      Super fun
      Train maybe delayed it once on it get ready for lots for scenic views. Definitely get a window seat in second class not first class since windows don’t open in first class. You’re in for a treat so bring snacks and drinks to chill to while you take in the views. Bring TP since you never know and enjoy the ride.
