Lala is the best tour guide I ever met. As we know that it is hard to get the train ticket, he tried his best to find the tickets for us, so we can take lots of amazing photos on the train. Thank you lala

A truly special holiday On considering options for a family holiday, our neighbours recommended Sri Lanka and Lala in particular, with whom they had a wonderful holiday the year before. We reached out and with some great suggestions from Lala we landed on an itinerary that balanced our interest in the history and natural beauty of Sri Lanka, with our desire to go at a pace that suited our 3 year old and felt like a real holiday. From the moment we arrived, we felt safe and comfortable in Lala's company - a warm welcome and safe driver (now even comes with child seat ;-). We travelled through the mountains and southern coast, to Sigiriya rock, Dambulla Cave Rock Temple, Kandy, Ella, Nuwara Eliya, Udalawale NP, Mirissa and back up the coast via Columbo. A great mixture of history, natural beauty, animals, random interesting stops and sights, beaches, swimming etc etc. Highlight for me was the train from Nuwara Eliya, for my fiance the spa and massage on the second night and my son, the Safari and seeing elephants sleeping standing up in the early morning light. Lala was so considerate throughout, always keeping his ear to the ground in case anything special or interesting was afoot, giving us space to enjoy family time, looking out for our safety and even carrying our little boy when he (and I) got tired! We had not previously travelled with a chauffeur / guide but it made it so much easier and allowed us to enjoy our holiday even more without having to worry about the little things. Not to mention Lala's knowledge of history and culture actually allowed us to dig a little deeper than we might have otherwise have been able. Two unbelievably special things - Lala managed to track down the BEST seats in the most special historical train for us and he also organised a special Fire Engine cake and party at a restaurant in Ella for our little boy's 3rd birthday! If you are considering a guide, don't hesitate to drop Lala a message and I'm sure you'll not look back. We have a friend from our little one's nursery off to meet Lala over Easter! Sam, Meg & Ray

If you plan to visit Sri Lanka, 1 advise: you should contact Mr Laleendra (Lala) from Dream Day Tours Sri Lanka. We just came back from a 15 day roadtrip and spent a wonderfull time with our Driver/guide Lala. He has a large knowledge of his country, is friendly, helpfull and we were feeling very comfortable with him. Hé was our guiding star during our Holiday in Sri Lanka!!!!

Myself and my husband travelled with Lala at the beginning of this year. I have to say this was one of the most enriching and beautiful trips of my life. I am someone who is well travelled and usually go for the DIY option but for this holiday we wanted to travel in comfort, with ease and security- which Lala delivered 100%. Lala helped us plan a route which consisted of some usual SL highlights (including Sigiriya / Ella) but then also experiences off the beaten track (white water rafting and jungle treks). Our route was - Sigiriya, Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, (train) Ella, Yala, Udawalawe, Hiriketiya, Weligama, Galle and Colombo. All beautiful places steeped in history with the most amazing scenery. Lala was incredibly knowledgeable about all elements of Sri lanka - from wildlife, to the ancient kingdoms, to the highest peaks, to buddhism - I felt I learned so much about this beautiful country and its people in a way that felt very enriching and rewarding. I think it is important to note that when you book a driver or tour guide, you need someone who understands the importance of being available for customers without being overbearing and Lala managed this perfectly - so myself and my husband still had time just the 2 of us with all the comfort of knowing he was around if we ever needed. Travelling with Lala was a wonderful experience and I feel lucky he was part of our trip. He is a very trustworthy, knowledgeable and a genuinely lovely person - I can not recommend him highly enough!

I must admit we did not actually do this particular trip, but we organized our own itinerary with help of Lala, the owner of the Dream Tour operator. We were 8, 4 adults and 4 children age from 10 to 13 and we had the most wonderful time ever. Sri Lanka is definitely one of the most beautiful countries that we visited, full of great nature, history, friendly people and awesome food. We only had one week, but Lala was with us the whole time and he was the most helpful and kind guide we could have wished for. Thank to him and his hospitality and service we visited many wonderful places (Dumbala, Kandy, Ella, Nuwara Elija, Udawalawe national park, Mirrisa) we saw beautiful animals including wild elephants and blue whales, and overall we had one of the most wonderful family and friends holiday ever. Thank you dear Lala for all your help and we definitely will return...not only one time :). Jan and Veronika.

I can not recommend Sri Lanka enough and Lala made the trip amazing. He planned the trip for us with great accommodation and showing us where to eat for the most amazing food we had in Sri Lanka. The places we visited took my breath away and Lala’s knowledge of his country is unlimited. Thank you Lala ❤️

Laleendra is so considerate and friendly guide, we had very nice tourist experience; Sri Lanka is a beautiful place and we will definitely come back again.

We cannot express how fantastic our experience was with Lala. His incredible knowledge of the country matched with his genuine humanity and compassion made us experience such a wonderful trip. Having a guide made our holiday so seemless, from travelling in between different destinations to booking our experiences, having Lala with us provided a piece of mind that there would be no difficulties in the trip. Sri Lanka is a wonderful place and and the people are so hospitable. The scenery, culture, wildlife and cuisine is truly remarkable, the deep rooted history and culture is facinating to learn about. Lala was not only our guide, but in fact became a very good friend. We are already excited for our next trip to incredible Sri Lanka

Through 12 Day Dream Tour with guide and driver Mr Laleendra, Sri Lanka holds such a warm place in my heart! If this is your first time to this beautiful island, get ready to be amazed by nature, culture, dance, fire walking, wildlife, sun, beaches, tea, food and people! Mr Laleendra offers an exquisite itinerary that takes in all of Sri Lanka’s gems and treasures. Like yourself, I found this wonderful gentleman on Tripadvisor and you won’t find a happier person, so positive and respectful! Things have been so hard for everyone in Sri Lanka, for too many reasons, but he has persevered and is now finally touring again to show off his beautiful country. Lala, you are a ray of sunshine! I travelled in a party of two and I’m confident anyone travelling by themself or as a family will be totally delighted with Mr Laleendra’s services. I pre booked all accommodations organised by 12 Day Dream Tour beforehand and all of them met all of my expectations, clean, great food, fantastic views, wonderful hosts across the country. The food was so delicious everywhere we went and fresh Sri Lankan tea is divine! Everything is taken care of! I’d like to highlight how diverse Sri Lanka is and that there is something for everyone! There is so much to see and do! No wonder Lala has named this a Dream Tour, his services and his country have made mine come true. I recommend at least a 12 day trip to really get to know this beautiful island and you can always add on days at the beach! It’s worth using up those extra holidays in a country that is such great value for money. I highly recommend this tour and the services of Mr Laleendra. No need for hesitation, go and book your preferred dates. You will have the best time! Say hi to Lala from his English girls.

It’s such a pleasure to write a review for Mr Laleendra from Romantic Dream Tour. Look no further if you are planning a trip to the stunning island of Sri Lanka and you need a driver and guide who knows his home country inside and out. I travelled with another woman, but would have happily been by myself in Mr Laleendra’s company. I found Sri Lanka a great destination for solo travel or female only travel. And communication with him is a breeze. I’m British with Dutch heritage. Sri Lanka is an all year round destination and Mr Laleendra knows exactly where to find the best weather for your chosen season, it’s why I would really recommend two visits, one during the South-West and during the North-East season. You can’t go wrong. What I love most about his tours is that they can totally be personalised to your own tastes and likes, whether it’s one of the stunning national parks, loads of culture or finding the best beaches or eateries. For us, he organised tea plantation tours by Tuk Tuk, wonderful overnight stays in stunning accommodations with views of the highlands and the highlight the full moon ceremony at The Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic. It made me so happy to experience walking along the local and international worshippers. With Mr Laleendra, we felt in safe hands! I can’t wait to come back and visit in a different season to experience the best Sri Lanka has to offer, with the services of 12 Days romantic dream tour. Please read his 5 star reviews for his Dream Day Trip underneath his business page. As well as day trips, he has already been providing 12+ days for years. If you’ve already booked: lucky you!! You’ll have an amazing experience. Thank you, Lala, so much for the trip of a lifetime!!!
