From the time Sri Lanka was controlled by the Portuguese, the Christian faith has had a strong effect on Negombo. Because of the city's huge number of churches, it is commonly referred to as "Little Rome." The church's construction began in 1874 and was finished in 1922, after a lengthy break. The art and architecture of this church, as well as a few other comparable buildings in Sri Lanka, reflect the early twentieth-century cultural fusion of European practice with Sri Lankan art and architecture.

Temples and a little history

The trip was what we expected and our driver was friendly and attentive. I would never want to drive myself around Colombo it was very busy.

Colombo City tour.

The booking is pretty easy through their website. They do pick up from some nearby hotels, otherwise their point is the Kinsbury Hotel. The tour guide gave enough information. I especially liked it because they do slow down at the various important buildings and this is a great way to get a good glimpse of the city.

Best and most fun way to get to know Colombo with the excellent service.

This was one of the best tours on our vacation. We visited the old city and some excellent street food. We saw the beautiful towns, temples, beaches, and of course shopping. Pushpaka company made sure we were taking care of. Pushpaka is friendly and goes out of his way to make sure you have a great day (and visit overall). Would not look any further, excellent service for the fair price.
