I was picked up on time and warmly welcomed. During the four-hour tour, I saw the whole city, including many churches and both Buddhist and Hindu temples. The absolute highlight was the fish market, especially the area where the fish are dried, the entire process was explained in detail, which was incredibly interesting. The time flew by! My driver, Fernando was very friendly, knowledgeable, and answered all my questions. A great, fun, and informative tour, definitely recommended!
I had a lovely half day tuk tuk tour of Negombo. Robin my tour guide took me around in his tuk tuk to all the sites, gave lots of interesting fast and information on the places we visited. Also made some stops along the way to take some help photos. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone to anyone staying in Negombo.
Robin took me all over Negombo, churches, temples, fish markets, an amazing juice bar, tropical fish, a tea shop. Such a good overview. Robin made sure I got across roads etc. A fun half day !
We arrived two days early for a 2-week organized tour of Sri Lanka. We booked the Negombo City Tour by Tuk Tuk tour on Viator as an introduction to Sri Lanka. We were not disappointed. Our guide, Robin picked us up at our hotel. He was on schedule and provided many interesting facts about the churches, temples and markets that we visited. we had a fun-filled 4 hour tour before being dropped off at our hotel door. Highly recommend this tour!
Awesome Negombo Tuk Tuk tour with Robin! We saw churches, temples, markets and many other sights. Robin was friendly and informative - he happily made a dress shopping detour! Highly recommended.
My 2 friends and I had great fun with Fernando on this Tuk Tuk tour of the city. He was so friendly and courteous, as well as accommodating when we asked to for a change to the itinerary. Highly recommend for a fun few hours
We really enjoyed our tuk tuk tour of Negombo! Our driver Robin was an excellent guide was very knowledgeable,friendly and gave us a better understanding of the local Sri Lanka area. Stopping off at a local shop for a delicious masala chai was definitely a highlight! 😁
Robin was so friendly and was an excellent guide. We got to see so much and learned so much about the city and also a bit of history. Got to see a wide range of sites throughout Negombo. Would highly recommend this tour.
Went with Robin Fernando. Has a very clean and tricked out Tuk Tuk with a sound system that he used while driving, great fun. He is very well spoken, informative, with a sense of humor.
I would highly recommend this tour, we were extremely lucky to have Robin as our guide. We were in the best, cleanest & flashest tuk tuk. At every stop people were admiring & taking photos. Robin went above & beyond to endure our experience was memorable. His English was fluent and knowledge extensive. He gave us lots of great tips re dining, sunsets & beaches. A great day
