I had a great experience with Shalaka. He picked me up from the airport to bring me to  my family. The drive was smooth and comfortable. Along the way, we stopped for lunch, and he introduced me to some delicious local food, which was a really nice touch.

He was friendly, helpful, and made me feel comfortable throughout the journey. I would definitely recommend him if you’re looking for a reliable driver. Thanks again, Shalaka!

Shalaka (Shaleke) was our driver throughout our visit to Sri Lanka and he made our trip so much better. He was punctual, extremely professional, and drove safely at all times — which is very reassuring on Sri Lankan roads!
His English is excellent, so communication was never an issue. He shared lots of interesting insights about the places we visited, had a great sense of humour, and was always flexible with our plans. Whether we needed extra stops, recommendations for food, or just someone reliable to handle the logistics, Shalaka took care of everything with a smile.
He truly helped us enjoy the beauty of Sri Lanka without any stress. I would highly recommend CeyGlow Tours and especially Shalaka to anyone visiting the country — you’ll feel safe, well looked after, and you’ll make a friend in the process.
Thank you Shalaka for the fantastic service! We hope to return to Sri Lanka one day and will definitely book with you again.

Shalaka was absolutely wonderful. He took great care of us when driving us from Colombo to Yala as well as a Colombo day tour. As a wheelchair user he was very helpful and accommodating making our trip so easy. He was great company and gave us so many great tips and taught us so much about Sri Lanka. We highly recommend Shalaka to anyone visiting Sri Lanka

We have just returned to the UK from 3 weeks in Sri Lanka with friends.
From the very first pick up to the last, Shalaka was amazing.
Shalaka has a great sense of humour and, as all Sri Lankans, a beautiful smile.
When we needed a Tuk Tuk for the smaller roads it was arranged by Shalaka and they were there waiting for us.
We have no hesitation in recommending Shalaka. He will enhance your holiday and save you money.
You will feel very safe with him. Nothing was too much trouble with plenty of bathroom stops when required along the way!
Thank you Shalaka.

The Perfect Guide for Families – Exceptional Care and Local Expertise

​I recently traveled to Sri Lanka for my son Jo’s first-ever international trip. As a mother traveling alone with a child who has Down Syndrome, I was naturally anxious about how we would navigate a new country, manage crowds, and handle the logistics. Meeting Shalaka Pereira was a true blessing; he was absolutely "God-sent" for our family.
​From the very beginning, Shalaka understood Jo’s specific needs without being told. His patience and genuine consideration were remarkable. Jo, who usually takes time to warm up to new people, was comfortable with Shalaka almost instantly—so much so that they were inseparable throughout the trip!
​Why I highly recommend Shalaka:
​Customized Itinerary: He didn't just give us a standard tour; he curated every stop to ensure they were places Jo would actually enjoy and feel comfortable in.
​Navigating Crowds: He went above and beyond to get us special consideration at every site, ensuring Jo never had to deal with long queues or overwhelming crowds.
​Genuine Connection: He wasn't just a guide; he was a companion who made my son feel safe and happy.
​If you are traveling as a solo parent or with a child who has special needs, I cannot recommend Shalaka enough. He turned what could have been a stressful experience into a wonderful, lifelong memory. Thank you, Shalaka, for taking such amazing care of us!

Shalaka was personally recommended to us by a friend who had booked with him previously.  It was easy to contact him using WhatsApp and he quickly responds to messages.  He provided lots of useful information to help us book our trip.

He is a lovely, friendly, reliable guy who is very knowledgeable about his country and speaks excellent English.

He made great suggestions for places to see, booked visits for us, helped make dinner reservations and arranged Tuk Tuks when needed for the smaller roads and places of interest. He also is a great photographer, making sure we got the best pics possible at each location.

Shalaka is a calm driver and we felt very safe with him. He always had water and snacks on hand for us when travelling.

Nothing was too much trouble and I have no hesitation in recommending him.

Thank you Shalaka !

Ceyglow arranged a driver for 5 days of our holiday in Sri Lanka at short notice. Driver recommended was excellent. We also had the nods, Shalaka, collect us from outside Hikkaduwa and take us to airport. An excellent driver with great English, and a brilliant smoothe drive. We can not recommend him enough.

It was awesome Sri Lanka trip! We traveled with Mr. Shalaka. He was incredible – picked us up right on time at the airport in a comfy car, everything spotless. He was so caring, always checking if we needed water or a break, super attentive to every detail. Chill guy with great English, shared cool tips, and took us to these hidden gems we'd never find alone. Felt like he really looked out for us – trip was perfect!
