    Thoroughly enjoyable tour with Rumi- he adapted itinerary well to accommodate what we had already seen, hours of opening , our interests and the quite hot conditions. He was knowledgeable and interesting providing good background for our longer island tour starting tomorrow.

    Colombo can be overpowering, even a tad crazy, but this tour took all the stress out of it. We had been offered no end of tours by eager tuk tuk drivers - but this one was in a nice air conditioned car,driven by a knowledgable guide who spoke perfect English. He took trouble to find out what we wanted to see (and didn’t want - the zoo for example). We were very impressed, especially as we only booked late on the day before the tour. Well done Remi
