The tour was interesting, specifically, the fish market. The ticket fee to the buddhist temple is Rupees 1000. Seems high, also ticket prices are not displayed anywhere. Communicated verbally.

The tour was customizable, we wanted to see the churches however, due to events it was not possible. The fish market was interesting, recommend sneakers or covered shoes. .
Despite an excellent and knowledgeable guide and super transport, this trip was a big disappointment. There is not actually that much to see in Nagombo and that which there is disappoints. The whole trip took less than 3 hours, half of which was driving to and from Nagombo. It is advertised as 6 hours!! Very poor value for money
Very nice driver and guide picked me up on time. He answered all my questions and gave me a great tour of Negombo. Highly recommended.
