Meet Vimukthi – Your Local Driver Guide in Sri Lanka
"Hello! I am Vimukthi, the owner, lead driver, and founder of Sithu Tours. For over 10 years, I have been guiding international travelers across every corner of Sri Lanka. When you book with Sithu Tours, you do not deal with call centers, sales agents, or third-party brokers. You speak directly with me from your very first WhatsApp message until I drop you back safely at the airport."

Named after Vimukthi and his wife's daughter — the person who means the most to them.
My Story – 10 Years on the Road
From Local Roads to Full Island Journeys
I began driving full-time in 2016. Over the past decade behind the wheel, I have navigated every type of terrain Sri Lanka has to offer—from the winding mountain passes of Nuwara Eliya and Ella to coastal highways and quiet village tracks.
During those 10 years, I realized that what travelers want most isn’t a rigid, high-pressure tour itinerary. They want safety on chaotic roads, honest recommendations for local food, clear pricing without hidden surprises, and the freedom to enjoy Sri Lanka at their own pace.
Whether helping you cross a busy street, finding the best roadside fruit stall for fresh king coconuts, or adjusting daily departure times so you can sleep in, my goal is simple: to make your trip completely stress-free
The Meaning Behind
"Sithu Tours"
People often ask me where the name Sithu Tours comes from.
Sithu is named after my daughter. Putting her name on my vehicle and business is my personal guarantee to every guest who visits Sri Lanka. It represents my commitment to operating an honest, transparent, and family-driven business.
Every booking supports local Sri Lankan families directly—from small village restaurants where we stop for lunch to local 4×4 safari jeep drivers in Yala and Minneriya.

Our Quality Standard & Driver Network
My Promise to Every Guest
While I personally drive the majority of our tours in our high-roof 6-seat Toyota van, there are times when I am already booked on specific dates or when guests prefer a smaller sedan car.
On those occasions, I work exclusively with a small, hand-picked group of senior driver-friends whom I know and trust personally. They share my exact values: calm driving, punctuality, respect for your privacy, and zero pressure. Every booking—regardless of who is behind the wheel—is monitored and managed directly by me.
