Great trip with Manju
We have visited and toured Sri Lanka several times now, and Manju is our "must have" driver and guide.  He is friendly, relaxed and very knowledgeable and great to have around while you enjoy all that Sri Lanka has to offer. His car is clean and comfortable and well set up with water and wifi , and his driving is calm and safe.Manju is helpful when you are trying to plan your next stops with suggestions of things you should not miss etc, but not overbearing and generally nothing is too much trouble. The whole atmosphere is fun, and the conversation flows easily. We consider him a friendCam and Charlotte

The car was prepared perfectly with wi-fi on board , cool water and snacks for us to enjoy.Manju’s English is very good and making conversation was easy. He informed us of the areas we were driving through and answered any question we had.During our stay in Hill Country, Manju organised a wonderful day out including a boat ride, lunch in a local village and unforgettable elephant safari.Even though, we have been in Sri Lanka before, Manju showed us new, interesting places we didn’t know about.All in all it was a magical tour designed perfectly for us, Manju is very flexible and will be happy if you want to change any plans, he is always ready to give suggestions and alternatives.We would definitely recommend for anyone coming to Sri Lanka.

Magic with Manju
There are so many drivers it's difficult to choose but Manju stands out from the rest. Always calm, always careful Manju always made us feel safe amongst the chaos that can sometimes be a Sri Lankan road. The vehicle was immaculate, equipped with water and snacks and the WiFi gave us the chance to share our experience. While we had a rough idea of what we wanted to see Manju was receptive to our ideas but made it all work. He also took us to some places we didn't know about, so we got the best of both worlds. He would often walk with us and where guides weren't available, he would step up and explain to us what we were visiting. Sri Lanka is such a beautiful and amazing place don't hesitate to book. The beaches, the mountains, the tea plantations, the temples, the jungle and the scenery will take your breath away and the national park safaris provide endless hours of animal watching. The food was outstanding and Manju introduced us to some local delicacies we hadn't experienced before.It's not often I can say this, but I would highly recommend Manju for your Sri Lankan experience.

Amazing Sri Lanka round trip with Manju
We did a 10 day Sri Lanka round trip in January 2023 with Manju, and it was absolutely perfect!He picked us up from our Hotel in Bentota and in the following days we went together to Dambulla/Sigiriya, Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, Ella, the Yala national park, and he droped us finally in Mirissa. Manju is an excellent driver and his car is very comfortable. Usually in our holiday we used to drive by our own, but with Manju you don't need to worry about organising your trip and you can enjoy Sri Lanka in a comfortable, local and individual way! Since I am pregnant he planed the right amount of time. He was always very polite and patient, and even helped me hiking up hills, what I appreciated a lot ;)!Whenever we wanted to change plans - e.g. doing the Horton plains additionally - it was no big deal to adapt flexibly to our wishes. For my boyfriends birthday he even arranged a surprising dinner with a birthday cake and song from the staff :D!  As he knew that my boyfriend was very interested in Sri Lankan food, Manju kept it always in mind. E.g. concerning our cookery class in Ella with Iranga - which we highly recommend as it was fabulous! -  he and Iranga surprised us with an additional small cooking action and kottu roti meal! Another great trip we had was to the Diyaluma waterfall, an amazing experience to be on the top with this great view and to take a cold bath all together in the natural pools up there!Manju is a great guy - cool, extraordinary friendly and open minded - and he fulfilled every wish that we had! He has a good balance between guiding and providing free time to enjoy the trip. We experienced the  beauty of Sri Lanka and it's variety in nature, food, and friendly people throughout the whole journey. We ourselves fortunately got the recommendation to contact Lanka i Leisure from a friend of mine, and now we also can just highly recommend this great experience with Manju who made it very special to us! Thanks a lot Manju :) ! Laura and Manuel, Germany

Lanka i Leisure – Amazing 5-days Tour with Manju!
Our visit to Sri Lanka was really great and unforgettable. It was our first time when we decided to hire someone to assist us with our journey. Our driver Manju was an excellent driver and guide. He was listening to all our needs, adjusting the whole plan appropriately.We spend 5 days together starting from Induruwa (we stayed there for few days just for rest) via Hikkaduwa to see turtles (as we wanted) Galle, Mirissa (beautiful beach with great lunch suggested by Manju – local delicious food, wonderful views, reasonable prices) and Weerawila (as we had a booking there). Then considering our location we had a great safari trip.Next point of our trip was Ella with fantastic waterfalls. There Manju arranged for us short trekking to waterfalls when we had an unforgettable opportunity to swim in its swimming pools with fantastic views and very nice lunch on the rocks (delicious food on banana leaves which we could eat just over the pools) – this day was very special because we never experienced that kind of attractions. We also had an opportunity to see a very popular Nine Arch Bridge and Little Adam’s Peak. Then another day we planned to move to Nuvera Elija. Initially planned to go there by car but we really wanted to get there by train with great views on the way, thanks to Manju’s support and suggested we finally get the train tickets realizing one of our dreams.Then for the last day we visited tea factory and some viewpoints on the way with unforgettable tea plantation view and get back to Colombo.Manju organised for us a safari trip, tea factory visit, waterfalls trip, assisted with train tickets, arranged two hotels according to our budget, organised all places for lunch, suggested the places for dinner. He was always there when we needed, answering all the questions and showing all important points on the way and making us a lot of pictures 🙂Manju was not only a driver and guide but also a great companion and photographer always on time. Very nice, protective, supportive with a great sense of humor. Also very flexible to our needs. He has a great knowledge of the country as well as a perfect English. Travelling with him was really comfortable, the car was nice and clean, and water for travellers was always prepared.Manju as a driver was very careful.We will keep this trip in our minds for long, we still have some parts of Sri Lanka not discovered so we are going to go back and then definitely ask Manju to be our support. If any of our friends want to go to Sri Lanka we will firstly suggest they hire Manju as a driver.

Amazing Tour of Sri Lanka
My husband and I did a 14 day tour with Manju.  Our itinerary included Sigiriya, Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, Ella, Yala, Tangalle, Mirissa, Bentota.We started off the tour as clients and we ended the tour as great friends. Manju’s English Is good and we didn’t have any problems understanding him or making ourselves understood. Also, I booked this tour in the early spring, but we didn’t arrive in Sri Lanka until December. Communication with Manju through WhatsApp was easy and we were able to plan the itinerary via WhatsApp. Manju also recommended hotels and booked some of these hotels for us.  Manju was also flexible with any changes we wanted to make to the itinerary. He also used his knowledge of the country to recommend a variety of activities for us to do such as boat rides, a cooking class and hikes.Manju has many years of experience in the hospitality and tourism industry in Sri Lanka and outside of the country.  His experience shows in the quality of the tour that he provided us.Manju was very knowledgeable about his country and its history. We were able to gain lots of knowledge about Sri Lanka through Manju.  Also, his car was clean, comfortable and reliable and we didn’t have any issues during the trip. He also was always on time each morning even though we sometimes weren’t.I recommend that anyone considering Sri Lanka to put away your hesitations and come.  The country was safe and we didn’t have problems with lack of fuel for the car, food quality or power outages.  The people of Sri Lanka are so friendly and welcoming.  The country is very beautiful with mountains, tea plantations, safaris, beaches and bird watching.
