Sri Lanka Colombo Tour

We took our tour with Shifan and it was incredible! Shifan was a great local guide and was very knowledgeable about the sites we visited. He was even able to point out different fruit trees and cinnamon bark trees for us to see and smell. His English was also very good and made it easy to understand the history of Sri Lanka. Highly reccomend!

Great guide, despite Booking.com pickup system issues

Rilvan was a wonderful guide for my city tour in Colombo. He was incredibly polite and knowledgeable, showing me a great mix of historical landmarks and spots where they sell gemstones and local tea. I truly enjoyed his excellent company and highly recommend his services! ​However, please note that the guide was unable to pick me up from Katunayake despite me setting it as the pickup location, so I had to spend extra money to travel to his specific pickup point. Booking.com needs to fix this system issue by preventing bookings if a traveler's location falls outside the guide's actual radius.
