Our story

The airport is our home ground

Travel Ceylon Tours is run by a Sri Lankan family team in Gampaha District, 25 minutes from Bandaranaike International Airport, with decades in the island's airport travel trade.

Who we are

Local in the truest sense

Most travellers meet Sri Lanka for the first time in the arrivals hall at BIA. So did we — from the other side. Our team has spent decades in the airport travel trade at BIA: meeting flights, driving visitors the length of the island, and learning exactly what makes the difference between a trip and a great one.

Travel Ceylon Tours grew out of that experience. We are not a booking portal reselling other people's services — when you message us, you're talking to the people who will actually plan your route, and the guides who will drive it. Every chauffeur guide we work with is licensed, English-speaking, and someone we'd happily send our own family with.

We keep the model simple and honest: private vehicles priced per vehicle (not per head), fixed quotes agreed on WhatsApp before you fly, and itineraries that change freely when the weather, a festival or your mood says they should. The island rewards flexibility — our job is to make that effortless.

Our cars are stationed near Katunayake, 25 minutes from arrivals. When your flight lands at 2am, that matters.

What we promise

Three commitments, kept on every tour

Honest quotes, no surprises

Fuel, tolls, parking and your guide's costs are all inside the price we agree. The number on WhatsApp is the number.

Guides we vouch for

Licensed, experienced, and chosen for warmth as much as knowledge — the guide makes the tour, so we don't compromise here.

Your trip, genuinely

We advise, you decide. If a cheaper or shorter route is the better trip for you, we'll say so — repeat guests are our business model.

Where we came from

New name, long history at this airport

What we have done for 25 years

  • BWK Travels (Pvt) Ltd has delivered mishandled baggage for Emirates passengers from Bandaranaike since the 1990s
  • Collecting at the terminal and driving to hotels island-wide, usually urgently and often overnight
  • It is the same work as an airport transfer without the passenger — the same roads, the same timings
  • Registered as BWK Travels (Pvt) Ltd at 321/A, Batepola, Dunagaha 11264

What we are honest about

  • Travel Ceylon Tours is new, and we do not have a long list of reviews under this name yet
  • We are building them from zero, and we would rather say so than point you at unrelated ones
  • So we put our company details, our history and our prices in the open
  • Payments go to our registered company account in the name of BWK Travels (Pvt) Ltd — never a personal or third-party account
