COLOMBO PRIVATE guideCITY TOUR WITH street food( All inclusive )

Driver did not show up. Trip advisor won’t refund. Don’t book

Boby was professional, courteous, respectful, friendly, funny and informative. His Tuk Tuk was well maintained and a cut above other dubious looking ones. He happily took us to/in many places and the local restaurant had fantastic food. Us 3 ladies thoroughly enjoyed our day. Boby seems to know everyone, everywhere! Would highly recommended this tour with Boby. Sara Coburn

We were hosted by Pradeep, who safely took us through the chaotic traffic of Colombo - showing us the major sights and giving us a great street food and tea tasting experience. We asked Pradeep to cut back the time spent at each sightseeing attraction and focus on the food, which was exactly what he did! We would have scored a 5 if the tuktuk had been in better shape. It was a bit shabby and some mechanical faults - but still got us around fine.

Fantastic day out, we were taken to see lots of interesting places with detailed explanations throughout. We had several great snacks as well as a wonderful meal in a local restaurant and found out lots of interesting things about tea and coffee production in Sri Lanka. The guide was knowledgable, friendly and answered any questions we had. Couldn’t have made us feel more at ease. Highly recommended!

The tour, while acceptable, did not meet some of the advertised features. It was, to some extent, impacted by a religious holiday and closed markets. Some featured stops were not covered and the method of transport was in tuk tuks ( no wifi, no refreshments ) and was late starting due to confusion by the operator regarding the pick up location. The provided lunch at local restaurant was very good. The tea shop visit was vey disappointing due in part to the large group of other visitors.

Not much food involved, more tea, coffee and temples. Guide did not speak much english. Pleasant trip but not what we were expecting

The lunch was good but we did not get any of the snacks mentioned (only received a small amount of fruit) we also got taken to a gem shop . For the price I would not recommend.

I was first taken to a tea shop to taste and buy tea. Then I was taken to 2 restaurants which was not the what the description said. And despite telling the driver I only prefer a mild level of spices, the first meal was the best out of the 3. The second and third meals that were prepared by the same restaurant were not really eaten by me once I tasted them.

I had Thairu as my tour guide, and he was hands down the best guide I had in Sri Lanka! He’s incredibly fun to be around, has a great sense of humor, and knows so much about the sites. He even adjusted the itinerary to make sure I got to see everything I wanted. At one point, I lost the back of my earring, and he actually searched the streets until he found it! When our tuk-tuk broke down on the way home, I was ready to grab an Uber, but he insisted on personally escorting me back in another tuk-tuk. I can’t recommend him enough—if you’re considering this tour, definitely go with Thairu!

Unfortunately this experience was getting driven around the city without a lot of interaction. The guide wasn’t much of a guide at all and took us around to different spots, albeit very cool areas but we were expecting an actual guide to chat to and learn about the food and culture. Our guide spent most of his time talking on the phone while we walked around from place to place. It didn’t seem like an a very well organized company. I would book elsewhere for a better experience.
