Colombo Tours

"This tour was fantastic! We were picked up in Columbo in a large, air conditioned van. Our driver was wonderful and told us all about Sri Lanka during our drive. We stopped at a spice garden on the way there and a temple on the way home. He personally accompanied us on both stops. The campsite was clean and the staff was wonderful. They were very accommodating and helpful. The food was very good and we got to try some of the local favorites. The tent was clean and comfortable. The two safaris were perfect and our driver was great. He even took my camera and got some great shots of a Leopard when I couldn't see the Leopard myself. I highly recommend this trip for anyone looking for a once in a lifetime experience!"

"We took this morning tour as an introduction to Colombo as we just moved here for a year. Quick response from the company when I had questions about a pick-up place since we were not at a hotel. Our guide, Shiyam, was awesome. Pick-up was right on time. He explained sites as we drove by and was an excellent guide when we went into temples, quietly explaining the traditions, etc. We did not feel rushed and he said several times that he could take us to other places of interest if we wanted. He is an experienced driver (20+ years) and we felt safe as he weaved in and out of traffic along with the rest of the tuk tuks and cars. It was enjoyable to talk with him about many things throughout the morning. He also bought us a bottle of water, refusing payment, when we mentioned we were getting thirsty. I highly recommend this tour!"

"Sirigiya was amazing, the tour guides and driver were very accommodating and freindly, nothing was too much to ask. Great trip worth the money no doubt"

"Mars our tour guide puts you at ease straight away upon meeting him he was very friendly and knowledgeable all throughout the whole tour. I would certainly recommend taking a tour with Mars. We had a fantastic time and saw some great sights which we would not have had the chance to see without him."

"We had a wonderful time in Colombo, our guide was very friendly and welcoming. We visited only interesting places, no shops (and it’s great). Thank you so much once again :)"

"What an amazing day! I had a great time celebrating Christmas with this company. The tour guide was amazing and very personable. His English was perfect. I also asked if they would drop me off in Kandy instead and they did for a fair price. The manager of this company is awesome as well. He is well organized and very accommodating. He asks you throughout the day how the tour is going and he makes sure you’re taken care of. The only issue was that the site tickets were not included. That’s fine but I did not know the prices of each site I had to go to the ATM 3 times in 1 day. Other than that we had an amazing day! We also saw elephants in their natural habitat! They also offer additional services such as ride transfers and the price was fair as well. It was about the same price as PickMe, which is Sri Lanka’s version of Uber."

"Wonderful tour! Just the right length. Going by tuktuk is the best way to explore Colombo, and this tour gives a good cultural overview of the city. My guide Maran was very well-informed, very welcoming and just an overall great presence to be around. Highly recommend this tour if you're in Colombo and have half a day to spare."

"A tuk tuk tour is a must in Colombo. It is one of the best ways to get around the city which can get very busy at time. This tour was complete, we saw most of the sights and the driver was very flexible with what to see and accommodating. Booking a tour like this is a good way to go, if you pick up a tuk tuk in front of the hotel, you might find yourself at jewelry shop or other shop for an unscheduled stop. My driver was professional, we just stuck to the schedule and I had a great tour. Good way to introduce yourself to the city."

"Strongly recommend! Driver already there when we arrived, accompanied to the car, good driving skills, good English. We felt really safe!"

"This was one of the best tour experiences I've ever had and there were a number of reasons for that. Number one, the driver, Buddika, basically allowed me to dictate how the tour was going to go. So, instead of taking me to all of the normal tourist haunts that are part of tours like this i.e. gem stores, tea plantations, etc.. he gave me options that were more to my liking. I essentially told him that I didn't want to go to any place that tries to sell you anything and we went from there. With that in mind we started at the Elephant Orphanage in Pinnawala not in the original tour packet and an additional 16 charge but definitely money well spent, at least for me. From there we went to the incredibly beautiful Royal Botanical Gardens in Peradeniya. Yes, I know what you're thinking, ho-hum, another garden but wait...this garden is special and HUGE!!! I easily spent 90 minutes there wandering around and could have easily spent 90 more. After that, we drove to Kandy to visit the famous Temple of the Tooth, which was very interesting. Upon arrival Buddika hooked me up with a local guide who for a nominal charge of 1000 rupees about 6 gave me a guided tour of the temple and its surroundings. After that, we went up the hills overlooking Kandy where I took a number of photos and then finished up at a great restaurant for a late lunch. Being completely frank, I chose this tour company because it had by far the cheapest price for a tour to Kandy. So, it was a very pleasant surprise that things turned out so well for me. A large part of that was Buddika, who's a pleasant, mature, educated person and totally knows what he's doing. I highly recommend him and this company for anyone pondering a tour to Kandy and its environs."
