Top-rated Colombo Attractions, Landmarks & More

This was a wonderful introduction to Sri Lankan history as well as an excellent tour of the city! Our guide’s English was good and he took excellent care of us on this first venture! 💖

Smooth, right on time, great communication. Totally recommended

Mr Yoga provided a comprehensive and well planned tour of the main sights in Columbo. Leaving favourite places to visit later

Thank you Olivier for this wonderful experience, a well of knowledge accessible to me. A whole day spent sharing a country that asks to live better but against the harshness of natural elements and a moving world, the Sri Lankan has a smile and welcomed us kindly.

Oliver gave us a very good morning in Colombo before we caught our flight. Whether upon your arrival or before your return, do not miss this tour. Olivier knows the history of Colombo and Sri Lanka perfectly, which helps one understand many things about its population in particular; he will take you where you would not have gone on your own while adapting perfectly to his audience. Our 6 and 9-year-old children also loved it, and the fact that they could enjoy explanations in French helped them enjoy the moment.

Excellent experience!! My guide Chadhu was respectful and full of information. Very very helpful!! 10/10 . Guide at sigirya, Tilak was also exceptional!! A definite book. However the village experience/ safari was not required after the long temple and sigriya climb. Too tired to do it!

Very informative and friendly guide. Knowledgeable and interesting. Enjoyed the morning. Recommend to do this

We had a wonderful Sigiriya and Dambulla day tour with my family, and it was truly a memorable experience. The entire trip was well-organized, comfortable, and enjoyable from start to finish.A special thank you to our driver, Nuwan, for his excellent service, friendly attitude, and safe driving throughout the journey. He was very knowledgeable, helpful, and ensured that we had a pleasant experience at every stop.We would also like to extend our gratitude to the Beyond Escapes team for their excellent arrangements and professionalism. Everything was handled smoothly, making our family trip stress-free and enjoyable.Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore the beauty and cultural heritage of Sigiriya and Dambulla. We look forward to traveling with Beyond Escapes again in the future!

The trip was absolutely fantastic! Baby elephants were the highlight of our trip! Now, climbing Sigiriya rock was a little difficult due to humidity and heat. I recommend doing this tour in December - January, when Sigiriya region is more cool. I also wish lunch was a little better, had buffet option. Overall, the trip was fantastic. Highly recommend!

Great tour taking you into all different aspects of street food and Sri Lankan cuisine - our guide Dulshan was a knowledgeable and generous host! Couldn’t recommend this guide or tour more highly!

Great tour with Ajeet. Got to see many interesting parts of Colombo, including the port, old hotel, mosque, dutch hospital. He had great English and was very knowledgeable. He ended up dropping me 1.5 hours to my hotel in Bentota for a reasonable price. Would recommend Ajeet and the tour!

This was an amazing overview of Sri Lankan history. Sheer takes the time to set the stage with who Sri Lankans are as a people and then the walk through Colombo Fort and other areas really shows the influence of colonial history and how it shaped Sri Lankan history. Definitely recommend this experience, especially early in your Colombo visit.

Deegoda was an excellent guide for what was supposed to be a food-focussed walk but ended up as something completely different. We had 3 mobility-challenged parents with us and Deegoda was very accommodating of their needs, the endless delays to the schedule and also helped us book tuk tuks and vans to move around. He completely changed the schedule to make it easier for our group while entertaining us with stories and anecdotes. He was also very clear with his communication beforehand and throughout. Highly recommended.

This tour was the perfect introduction to Colombo on our first day in the city. Ramesh was an expert driver and efficient tour guide and managed to show us so many highlights in the brief time we had. He shared many interesting parts of his city with us with levity and humor. To top it off, we finished with dinner of the best chicken kottu roti I had on the entire trip. I definitely recommend this tour!

Great way to see Colombo! We arrived last night and did our tour today with Hemi and it was great!He shared so much info with us and the Tuk Tuk was so much fun.Highly recommend! Small warning to those who can't eat spicy food, the lunch is delicious and authentic but there is no spice-free option haha!

We spent a great morning with Olivier who showed us the most important places in Colombo and excellent coffee! He knows the history of Colombo very well and allows you to learn things
