Journeys to Inspire and Personalize

"Leo who is the owner is an amazing person. He understood fully our needs and arranged a high quality round trip for 10 days in Sri Lanka. We have traveled to countries all around the globe, but this trip rated no. 1 in service, hotel quality and experience. We did a 6AM yoga session on top of a mountain with amazing views..."

"We had the pleasure of working with Leo on our recent holiday in Sri Lanka. The service he provided us ( a big group of 50!) was excellent! He organised our trip up country too with well picked hotels and safe and good drivers too. Would highly recommend Travel Lanka Compass for your Sri Lankan experience!"

"My husband and I travelled with TLC on our honeymoon in 2023. We are from Ireland and a number of our friends had travelled with them previously. Their rave reviews were what encouraged us to book too. Our two weeks travelling around Sri Lanka were absolutely phenomenal and Leo arranged every part of that for us. He kindly met us at the airport and gave us local gifts in celebration of our new marriage. Just so thoughtful!"

"Leo put together an unforgettable weekend for me to explore Galle. He tailored the itinerary perfectly, offering a wide range of experiences to choose from. Kingsley, who hosted me throughout the tour, was amazing in coordinating each activity and sharing his knowledge along the way. I highly recommend reaching out to them if you're wanting to explore Sri Lanka!"

"Leo created a tailor made 2 week holiday (Easter 2025) for our family of four with two teenagers. He organised a fabulous circuit, wonderful activities, avoided the crowds, lovely villas, hotels and restaurants. Prabath was our driver throughout and treated us with care and consideration. He introduced us to many new experiences (the side of road buffalo kurd and palm liquid sugar an absolute delight). There’s no way we could have organisedthis ourselves. Thanks Leo and Prabath."

Tailor-Made, Just for You 
It’s your holiday let it feel like one.  We take time to understand your travel style, pace, and preferences. Whether it’s wildlife safaris, wellness retreats, cultural discovery, or beach escapes your itinerary is built around you, not a preset schedule.

Sustainable. Respectful. Real.
You enjoy unique experiences while supporting local communities and sustainable tourism. It’s travel that feels good ethically and emotionally without sacrificing comfort.

From the first plan to your final goodbye, we’re here organizing, fine-tuning, and quietly making things work behind the scenes. You travel easy, knowing you’re in caring local hands. 

FAQs

Absolutely. Even with our handpicked journeys, we encourage you to share your preferences. To give you the best possible holiday experience, we fine-tune each itinerary for seasonality, travel times, and overall trip flow. This means there may be small adjustments from the original outline, but your wishes are always considered.

“Your preferences are always welcomed and tailored into the plan”

As a matter of policy, we don’t provide line-by-line breakdowns. Instead, our pricing is built holistically around the complete experience we’ve designed for you. It includes your accommodation, transfers, experiences, our planning fee, and dedicated concierge-style support throughout your holiday.

“One clear, all-inclusive price – no confusing breakdowns”

Of course. If you share your itinerary with us, we’ll provide a price quote for your holiday. You can also check our car & driver page for an indication of daily rates (inclusive of taxes and service charges). Please note that while all our chauffeurs are trained to the same high standard, preference for specific chauffeur allocation is given to our tailor-made holiday bookings.

“Yes, you can book car & driver only. Chauffeur preferences are reserved for tailor-made trips”

Currently, excursions can only be booked as part of our tailor-made holidays or with our car & driver option. This ensures our experiences remain authentic and not mass-marketed. It’s also more cost-effective to book excursions together with hotels and transport, as this bundled approach offers savings. Plus, you’ll enjoy the added benefit of our complimentary holiday planning and concierge services.

“Excursions are part of our packages. Bundled for authenticity and value”

To confirm your holiday, a 20% deposit is required, with the balance of 80% due 30 days before travel. Booking early not only helps you secure the best offers but also gives you peace of mind knowing your arrangements are protected against unforeseen disruptions such as travel delays, unrest, or family emergencies.

“20% to book, 80% due 30 days before travel, with peace of mind built in”

We believe in fair and transparent pricing for all our travellers, so we don’t offer discounts. However, we’re happy to adjust your itinerary, for example by recommending different hotel or excursions, to better fit your budget without compromising on experience.

“No discounts, but flexible options to suite your budget”

No hidden surprises. All our prices are disclosed upfront and include service charges and taxes. What you see is what you pay. No gimmicks, No add-ons later.

“What you see is what you pay. No hidden costs”
