Great trip
Great trip with the tour guide (Mr. Hemsan). He took us to all nice places in the list and waited for us until we left with the smile on his face! Love Sri Lanka, both the country and the people!

A great way to see the.main sights
We had a great tour with Krisor on our first morning in Colombo. A Tuk Tuk is the best way to see the main sights and Krisor was a fantastic guide, nothing was too much trouble for him. Highly recommend

Top tour with a top guide
Top experience thanks to Olivier who makes this moment magical. He helped us discover places in Colombo that we would never have known, with a way of describing things that shows his love for this city.
Do not hesitate to use his services if you want to live an atypical and unique experience.

We can only recommend this excursion and thank Olivier again for his kindness and for sharing the love he has for this city.
Go for it with your eyes closed!

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.

Great trip, a little challenging climb
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!

Amazing Street Food Tour
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!

Colombo tour
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!

Amazing overview of Colombo history
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...
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.

Great morning tour of Colombo
We had a great morning with our guide Kishor. He drove us around the city, stopping at all the major points of interest. His knowledge of the history was very interesting. Water, samosa snack at the market, entrance to the temples and traditional lunch were all included. Fully recommend doing this tour to get your bearings of the city or if you have limited time. Thanks Kishor!

Colombo by Tuk Tuk
This experience went over our expectations. Mr Kishor was so helpful and spent so much time showing us all over Colombo we knew more that what our separate paid for city tour the next day. The tour was exciting but at all time, we felt safe. Can not recommend this to any travellers considering using a Tuk tuk here in Colombo.
