How a round trip with Dinu works

  1. Plan the route together

    Send Dinu your dates and the places you'd like to see. He talks the usual highlights through with you and suggests quieter spots away from the busy sights. His route advice costs nothing extra.

  2. Travel at your own pace

    On the road you decide when to stop, whether for a viewpoint, a waterfall or lunch. If you change your mind about the day's plan, Dinu adjusts the route.

  3. Overnight close by

    On trips of several days Dinu stays near your hotel, so the car is outside when you're ready. His accommodation is already part of the daily rate.

  4. The last leg

    At the end of the trip he drives you to your final stop or straight to the airport for your flight home.

From the south coast to the east

One family with small children set off with Dinu in Tangalle on the south coast. They drove up through the hill country and on to Trincomalee in the east. After their experience with other drivers, they described every stretch of the way as safe and relaxed.

"We've been as family with 3 kids (youngest 2 years!) travelling for 4 weeks all over Sri Lanka. We had several drivers, but got back to Dinu always!"
