About Tourify
Built by travelers, for travelers.
Tourify started with a simple frustration: why does booking a private trip to Sri Lanka feel so complicated and expensive? So we built the platform we always wished existed — one price per vehicle instead of per person, and an itinerary you shape yourself instead of a package you squeeze into.
We're a small team that has lived both sides of the trip — planning one from abroad and running one on the ground. Every route we sell gets driven, checked, and argued over before it reaches you.
You shouldn't have to spend weeks researching routes, haggling with drivers, and hoping the experience lives up to the photos. You should arrive excited — and leave wishing you had more time. That's the only thing we're trying to make happen.
— The Tourify founders
Who We Are
The people behind every trip.
Deep local knowledge of Sri Lanka on one side, years of international travel on the other — every Tourify trip passes through the hands of the people below.
Heshan Rathnayake
Founder & Technology Lead
Built Tourify after watching friends overpay for group tours and deal with rigid itineraries. He ensures the technology makes every trip feel effortless from the first click.
Tharuka Perera
Founder & Business Lead
Tharuka decides what goes into every Tourify plan — the routes, the stops, the stays — and cuts anything that feels like a tourist trap. If an experience isn't worth your time, it doesn't make the itinerary.
Nethminda Perera
Sri Lanka Operations Lead
Nethminda runs everything on the ground in Sri Lanka — coordinating itineraries, vetting local partners, and keeping every guest's trip seamless from airport pickup to send-off.
What We Stand For
Four rules we don't bend.
Every feature, price, and route decision gets checked against these — they're why Tourify works the way it does.
Traveler-first, always
We've been in your shoes as visitors to Sri Lanka. Every feature we build solves a planning problem we've personally hit.
Fair, transparent pricing
One price per vehicle, no per-person charges, no platform fees — you see exactly what you pay for and why.
Your trip, your shape
Destinations, pace, and stays are yours to reshape as often as you like before departure — free.
Good for the island
We work with Sri Lankan guides, drivers, and family-run businesses — so tourism money lands locally and travel stays kind to the island.
