The Colombo city tour was very informative. We enjoyed visiting both the Buddhist and Hindu Temples. Our guide Kanishka was very friendly.
Shiraz, our guide, was excellent. He is very knowledgeable on all topics and offered a perfect experience. He treated us to coconut and snacks. As a native of Colombo, he shared great knowledge. Recommend him as your guide
Had a great half day driving tour, particularly because of our tour guide Kuma. He was exceedingly knowledgeable about every site we visited and gave us a tour. He was also very flexible with the changes we wanted to make.
Perera was fantastic - a wealth of information along with all of the sights to go with it. We came in at 12PM, he picked us up with a sign at arrivals, and took us out on a great adventure. We were back to the airport at 6PM, right on time for our next flight.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We're delighted your layover turned into a memorable adventure with our knowledgeable guide and seamless timing. We truly appreciate your recommendation—it helps fellow travelers discover Sri Lanka's magic. Looking forward to hosting you again! Warm regards, Pathum

I was hoping for a good tour guide and I got a great one! Shimaz was very knowledgeable and spoke English proficiently. He showed us everything the tour description listed and then some additional sites which were absolutely outstanding. He even included a stop for local ice cream and a local textile venue. Thank you!
