Den spændende dag starter med afhentning fra dit hotel af en repræsentant for Sanota Walkers. Derefter bliver du pisket for at besøge et af Sri Lankas stærkt ærede templer kaldet Gangarama Temple, som ligger på den berømte og maleriske Beira-sø midt i byen Colombo. Gangarama-templet blev oprettet for omkring hundrede og tyve (120) år siden og er et af de vigtigste buddhistiske templer i Sri Lanka. Templet blev oprindeligt bygget til at være en lille hermitage på et stykke myrlendt land i det 19. fvt. Tempelet er vokset til at omfatte flere imponerende bygninger og blevet et internationalt kendt sted for tilbedelse, et center for læring samt en forsamlingslokale for munke, mens også vært for et museum, et bibliotek og et relikskammer blandt andre.
Seema Malaka er et buddhistisk tempel i Colombo, Sri Lanka. Templet bruges hovedsageligt til meditation og hvile snarere end til tilbedelse. Templet ligger i Beira-søen og blev oprindeligt bygget i slutningen af det 19. århundrede.
Når du først har fået dine sanser begejstret med det gamle og det nye i Fort & Pettah, er det nu tid til at besøge den verdensberømte Galle Face Greenand slappe af i den beroligende lyd fra bølger, der springer ved bredden. Med udsigt over det storslåede Indiske Ocean, ved siden af den smukke Galle Face-strand og den berømte kolonistilformede Galle Face Hotel (der er kendt som Asiens smaragd på grønne siden 1864), er en elegant promenade foret med svingende palmer og ofte besøgt af både lokale og besøgende både kaldet Galle Face Green. De Grønne, som det er kærligt kendt, er et mødested for det gamle og det nye med kanoner, der engang var monteret på bjergkanten af det gamle fort Colombo, nu er lagt ud til overholdelse og prestige, mens familier og børn spiller sport , flyve drager, helbredsentusiaster tager deres aftenvandringer og andre forkæle sig med nogle lækre rørende varme lokale gademad, der sælges på adskillige madboder.
St. Anthony's Shrine er en romersk-katolsk kirke i erkebispedømmet i Colombo på Sri Lanka. Kirken ligger ved Kochchikade, Kotahena, Colombo 13 og er dedikeret til Saint Anthony fra Padua. Kirken er udpeget til en national helligdom og mindre basilika.
Kelaniya Raja Maha Vihara eller Kelaniya Temple er et buddhistisk tempel i Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, syv miles fra Colombo. Hovedansvarlig er ærværdig professor Kollupitiye Mahinda Sangharakkhitha Thera.
De to bemærkelsesværdige steder at besøge er byerne Fort og Pettah. I det 16. århundrede brugte portugiserne dette område, nu kendt som Fort eller Kottuwa (tidligere kendt som (Kolonthota), som et af deres handelsposter og udviklede det til en befæstet base. I det 17. århundrede erobrede hollænderne fortet og revet En del af befæstningen og rekonstrueret til de hollandske specifikationer. I det 19. århundrede havde briterne erhvervet kontrol, og da de anså det som usandsynligt, at de ville blive udsat for en direkte militær trussel, og at fortet hindrer byudviklingen i området, Colombo-fortet blev revet. Dog eksisterer der stadig flere bygninger, der hører til den hollandske og den britiske æra, i Fort-området, herunder det hollandske hospital, som nu er konverteret til at omfatte butikker med god ende og god mad samt al-fresco-restauranter og gamle General Post Office-bygning, der blev opført i 1895 med edwardiansk arkitektur Pettahor Pitta - Kottuwa (betyder ydre fort) er en travl og livlig by beliggende tæt på t han Colombo Fort-området.
Lad os nu tage til et meget specielt sted kaldet Uafhængighed, der er placeret kun få minutter væk fra den gamle parlamentsbygning. Denne bygning blev bygget til minde om Sri Lankas uafhængighed fra kolonistyret og er beliggende på det samme sted, hvor der blev opført et specielt podium i 1948 for at markere ceremonien for Sri Lankas start med selvstyre og nyt parlament. Bygningen i Uafhængighedspladsen huser også et museum, der viser en historie med alle de personer, der kæmpede og kæmpede for Sri Lankas uafhængighed.

The temples were amazing, so atmospheric, one was quite dark with lots of incense burning..and walking barefoot seemed to make the whole experience quite spiritual…loved it. Our guide was full of information, and graciously allowed me to stay in the air conditioned car when I’d flagged a little…although watching the snake charmers from a distance still made for interesting viewing. Great insight into the city finished with a rooftop lunch..nice day

We had a wonderful tour of Colombo with our guide, Chamika. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about the city. We visited several temples where Chamika provided very detailed explanations for what we were seeing. After a delicious lunch we visited the Lotus Tower and Independence Square; followed by a driving tour of the city as we made our way back to our cruise ship. The transportation was a very nice air conditioned van with ample space for the four of us. Our pick-up at the port was especially convenient; we were met inside the port near the end of the gangway. This was a very nice surprise! Thanks again to Camika and Lanka Tours for a special day in Colombo
Thank you very much for the great Comment.
The temples and history of Sri Lanka were good to see, and the guide was quite knowledgeable on the temples. The guide (who was also the driver) spoke excellent English, was a very good and safe driver and had a lot of local knowledge. I also enjoyed most of the shopping, especially the Laksala. The only thing to be aware of, is some of the shopping is where they take you to a single shop and the shop tries to pressure you in to buying expensive items at triple the cost they would charge locals - although if you enjoy this type of shopping, then no issues.
i booked my city tour with Sanota Walkers after reading the reviews on TripAdvisor and was certainly not disappointed Chamika was very professional in making the booking and answered all my questions He even changed our pick up time at the last minute Driver was Subash - he was excellent and very patient - answered all our questions and was on time for hotel pick up - very professional Will certainly recommend this company and will use them again on my next visit to Colombo Keep up the good work
Me and my partner had a lovely trip yesterday. We were picked up on time by our tour guide Subash, the car was air conditioned and clean. Subash was very attentive and even made a detour at the end as we had already seen one of the temples. Water was provided in the car and he drove safely and was extremely informative and was happy to answer all our questions. The highlight of the trip was the visit to the Buddhist Temple in Kelaniya this was turkey beautiful. Thank you Subash for a wonderful trip.
good city tour, good driver and good lunch. We had limited time and only had the tour for four hours. Shopping was something we could not do, though the driver was more than willing to do this with us
<p>We took a private tour in Columbo. I use a mobility scooter, but am able to walk short distances,which was not a problem. The guide was extremely helpful, realised my limitations, and gave us a great tour accordingly. We visited 2 temples, and had a city tour. We than had lunch. We then negotiated to extend the tour to Galle, where we saw the fort, the fishermen on stilts, and the amazing turtle sanctuary. Our guide was informative, kind, courteous and polite throughout, cannot recommend him enough. Thank you.</p>
Our driver was at the ship on time so no delays. Car provided was clean and comfortable for my wife and I. We visited all of the temples and other places. Our driver taking us on personal tours of each place we visited. He was very good and attentive and I am sorry that I can't spell his name. We were last in Colombo in 1984 and it was interesting to see how some things had changed and other things remained the same. The lunch venue was very good but be aware that nearly all of the food offered is either a curry or similar. All in all a good day and no problem with recommending this tour
<p>On this tour our fantastic driver/guide showed us some of the most interesting places in Colombo.When one of our friends fell ill he took care of everything.He drove us back to our apartment and made sure that everything was OK before he continued the tour with the rest of us. After the our we got a call from the agency. They wanted to make sure that everything was allright. What a service - excellent. We can highly recommend this tour. Sysser and friends from Denmark</p>
