We were done in less than 2 hours and at the airport in 2.5 hours, which is half the time of the 5 hour tour advertised. I would’ve given it a one star but since the driver was really nice, hence I gave it two stars.
Thank you for booking with us and for your feedback. We would like to clarify that our chauffeur took you to all the locations included in the tour itinerary. However, some attractions required entry tickets, and you chose not to visit those sites. As a result, the tour duration became shorter than originally scheduled. Since additional time was available, our chauffeur kindly offered to take you to Negombo City tour as an alternative destination, even though it is not included in this tour package. This offer was declined. Following your request, the chauffeur then dropped you at the airport earlier than the scheduled tour end time. We always strive to provide the best possible service and flexibility to our guests while ensuring the tour is conducted according to the agreed itinerary.
The most comprehensive first look of Colombo, this tour brings you to the must-see attractions the city has to offer. Yohan, our driver and guide, was very helpful to make this tour seamless and enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour if ever you have time o spare in Colombo.
We are pleased to serve you. Thank you for booking with us. Looking forward to another tour not only in Colombo but also around the Sri Lanka
Excellent tour. We had a last minute stop over in Colombo and they we're able to accommodate us with very short notice. Fantastic introduction to Colombo.
Thank you for booking your tour with us. Looking forward to serving you with another tour.
Sightseeing in Colombo to and from the airport is available using transit time at Bandaranaike International Airport. If I asked them, they would incorporate it and come up with a course. Our driver didn't seem to be a guide, he just took us to sightseeing spots with little commentary at the temple. I'm not very good at English, so it's good to think that I'd feel bad if it was explained carefully in English, but I felt a little unsatisfactory, so I lost one star. The driver was good-natured and safe to drive.
Terrible. While the person who was interacting with us and the driver were polite, this tour went awful for a number of reasons. 1- 500ml water bottles were part of the deal. Not a single bottle was provided despite my ask. Had to buy water myself at one of the grocery stores near to end of my trip. 2- Distance from Airport to Colombo city and back is approx 40 minutes which is included in the tour so effective tour is for 3 hrs or 3 hrs and 30 mins max. 3- Driver took us to none of the places mentioned in the itinerary. Was (apparently) driving too slow to complete the "5" hours. Since we only had a layover for 10 hours in Colombo, our internet was not working and we couldn't verify. Ended up spending trapped in traffic jam at Beach park and rest of the time on the road.
Thank you for your review. It makes us to correct our mistakes. I apologize if you did not get the water butte. Distance and traffic, internet and flight time checking are not our control. Also, the tour is clearly mentioned 5 hours. So, your extra layover time we cannot take responsibility. In Sri Lanka we have regulation from Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority, the chauffer cannot do ruff driving. It will be risk for traveler. Safety is fest for us. Finaly, most of the complins are not in our control and apologies for you inconvenient and thank you for booking with us.
It was very friendly and kind. The guides were easy to understand and gave us a good balance between recommended places and where we wanted to go.
Thank You booking with us. We value your business and for us guest satisfaction is first. Looking forward to serving you in another tour.
Munir was an excellent host. For a half day layover, the tour could not have gone any better. We arrived with a feeling of excitement and left with a feeling of fulfillment and a desire to come back and visit again. Munir's hospitality was unmatched. Thank you for an amazing layover tour!
There are no trains from Bandaranaike Airport to Colombo city, and it seems difficult to get a bus, so I was afraid to travel alone as a woman, so I took this tour. In the end, I'm really glad I took the tour. Even if it was not included in the tour, they would take me there if I requested. I was able to experience an Ayurvedic massage and a supermarket. The guide was very kind and friendly, so I was able to enjoy the trip with peace of mind. I was able to get to the airport with plenty of time to spare. However, the jewelry store we stopped at on the way had a slightly scary atmosphere. However, when I said I wanted to go home, the guide responded quickly and I was safe. The curry I had for breakfast was very delicious. I would like to ask for a guide again when I come to Sri Lanka.
Great communication and on time. Clean vehicle and a friendly guide as well. Great way to spend a long layover in Colombo!
Thank you Cody booking with #SafariToLanka Holidays. We please to save you in future in Sri Lanka. Hope you will book multiple day tour with us.
Prior to arrival, the communication was very smooth and effective, we were provide with enough information upon our arrival. During our 8hours transit, we were able to have a quick tour around the city and see some important sites. Picked up and dropped off at the airport on time. Overall a professional and satisfying service.
