Roy Kennedy

Hailing from a family with roots in England, Roy Kennedy is fondly known among travel trade colleagues as “Guitar Roy”, a name that perfectly reflects his unique blend of music and guiding. Roy’s journey began in the world of music, where he spent 12 years performing with the Sri Lanka Army Music Band, followed by another 12 years leading his own music band, entertaining audiences across the island.

With this rich artistic background, Roy seamlessly transitioned into tourism, bringing with him not only deep local knowledge but also an entertainer’s spirit. Today, with over 20 years of experience as a chauffeur guide in Sri Lanka, he is one of the most sought-after professionals in our chauffeur pool. What truly sets Roy apart is that he often travels with his own guitar, delighting guests with live music during journeys, campfire evenings, or relaxed moments at hotels, creating unforgettable, personal experiences that go far beyond a standard guided tour.

Roy’s warm personality, storytelling ability, and passion for sharing Sri Lanka’s culture make every journey with him engaging and memorable. Tourism also runs in the family, he is a proud father of two children, including a son who has followed in his footsteps and now serves as a chauffeur guide, continuing the tradition of heartfelt hospitality.

Blending rhythm, road, and rich travel experience, Roy Kennedy transforms every tour into a journey filled with stories, music, and lasting memories.
