Welcome to Yamu Travels
Yamu Travels was established as one of the leading travel companies for holidays in Sri Lanka long before the island became one of the hottest destinations in the world. Founded in 2009, our dedicated and talented staff possess an intimate, in-depth knowledge of Sri Lanka. Spearheaded by our founder Samadhi, Yamu travels grew bigger by attracting the right people around her. An integral part of our growth lies with listening to our customers valuable feedback and improving ourselves, where we compete with ourselves everyday! Operating from Italy and Sri Lanka we tailor holidays to clients’ exact requirements with detailed personalised advice provided by a highly-trained team in Colombo. We are a family run enterprise with significant professional experience in a variety of roles, and have become one of the premier tour operators in both Italy and Sri Lanka.
Most of our competitors in Italy are run by large international companies with Italian or international staff. We are one of the very few travel companies to be owned and operated by Sri Lankans who really knows the island. It dawned on us that most tourists really miss out on the best that Sri Lanka has to offer as they don’t have any proper locals who know the island showing them around. We have explored every bit of the country and assessed locations, attractions and hotels. So, we set-up Yamu Travels to make both your dream and ours come true. We want to be your “local” friend and ensure that you have the best time of your life. Sri Lanka was the main and primary destination to conquer. Our brand started to gain its momentum in Italy as a reliable travel partner for booking personalised tours to Sri Lanka through our customer referrals and creative marketing techniques.
We have partnered with local companies to combine a committed personal service alongside immense value-for-money which cannot be beaten by the independent traveller who seeks to go it alone. As well as a carefully-curated choice of accommodation options to suit all budgets, we also offer a wide selection of specialist itineraries, a varied range of experiences and we regard our pool of chauffeur-guides as the best in the country.
At present we have a strong workforce who all share the same belief we’ve had since day one – that personalised travel tours are the best way to experience a destination, and taking care of our customers needs by assisting them in every possible way is the most important part of our brand.
We are so passionate about creating authentic local holidays. We pride ourselves in creating memorable and innovative experiences to help you get more out of your time here.
If our story and values resonate with you, we personally invite you to contact us, even if it is just to say ‘Ayubowan’!
Our vision
Our objective is to make you fall in love with Sri Lanka and raise the profile of the country and the people. We want to be the best at creating immersive and authentic experiences. We pride ourselves in our capacity to take care of the hassle around planning and ensuring that our clients make their dream holiday a reality.
