From the harbor and its Maritime Museum to the spice markets and the best coffee in town. From to different temples, two different towers to two different restaurants/ one for an amazing avocado shake, the other for a good local meal. ALL was one big journey with surprises and fun. And the driver is such a nice guy !! This is a must do!!

Let me say they went far and beyond to accommodate me and my electronic wheelchair. They actually sent two. One for me, the other for my wheelchair. We had multiple stops around the city and I was able to try different foods. One place the actually carried me back to tuk tuk. My guides were good at what the do and made me feel at ease. They didn't rush things and took time with everything. I would recommend this tour to anyone!

Fantastic, we had a short walk to The Kingsbury hotel as there are many tuk Tuk drivers trying to get your business at the Port gate. We had a fantastic tour of Colombo our drivers were very knowledgeable and looked after us very well, we even went up close and personal to Elephants getting ready for a festival parade. At the end of our tour we stopped for dinner at a local street food vendor and again they were so hospitable. I highly recommend them.

Kusal, picked me up promptly at 8:30 am at my hotel. He was very professional, courteous and informative. I had a wonderful time and was fortunate to be solo for this trip. We visited all the major land marks, temples and markets. We even viewed some elephants in the park from some festivities. Thank you for a wonderful day!
