All the city's sights in 4 hours

This tour offers the opportunity to see all the city's sights in 3-4 hours. The guide will pick you up from your hotel, drive you along the entire route, and finally drop you off at your hotel. The guide speaks good English and is knowledgeable about the country's history.

Tuk Tukin around 🛺

Great way to see all the sights around Colombo! Our driver Sariq was a great guide and shared his knowledge and love of the city. He was also a great driver amongst the traffic chaos. We didn’t feel rushed and he let us spend time appropriate time at each spot. We booked last minute and the company easily accommodated our request.

Great introduction to Sri Lanka

Stirlin arrived on time ready to take us exploring in his very clean tuk tuk. His appearance was very neat & tidy & he had great English & with lots of knowledge about the history & buildings of the area. We stopped at lots of places to take photos & hear about the history of the buildings. We also stopped to sample some coconut water & local food at a stall. It was delicious! Stirlin takes u to a tea tasting shop (a great toilet stop) & to a gem factory that tells you all about the famous Sri Lanka sapphire & other gems. A fabulous tour to do early in the morning before it gets too hot! Plenty of water was supplied.

Superb experience

What a great trip. Driver was competent and safe in and around the narrow streets as well as on the busy main roads. Visited all the highlights of the city a few hours. If you want a great experience a TUI tuk is the way to go ….. parking was always close to the attraction too which was much appreciated in the heat!
