Can I request a female Sri Lankan driver for a solo tour?

Solo female travellers can ask for a female chauffeur guide through certain progressive travel agencies in Sri Lanka. Even though the commercial driving world stays largely male-dominated, more and more firms are hiring female drivers who create safe and comfortable settings for women travelling alone.

Because the number of licensed female guides is still rather limited, you should place the request a few months ahead. These specialised drivers give real peace of mind, and at the same time, they share fresh perspectives on everyday life, culture, and the social fabric shaping Sri Lankan women.
