Reisroute
Ontmoet uw groep 's ochtends vroeg in uw hotel, Voordat je aan boord gaat van je tuk-tuk, maak je een korte wandeling door de centrale zakenwijk van de stad, waar je een aantal koloniale gebouwen kunt bewonderen.
Ga aan boord van je gemotoriseerde rit terwijl je bezienswaardigheden in de stad bekijkt, zoals Colombo Harbour, de Fort Clock Tower, Colombo Lighthouse en het President's House. Vervolgens passeer je Chatham Street, een trendy wijk die jarenlang verboden was vanwege de burgeroorlog in Sri Lanka. Ga vandaar verder naar Pettah, een wijk in Colombo die bekend staat om zijn gevarieerde marktkraampjes en de Rode Moskee. Stop 20 tot 30 minuten om wat snacks te pakken of koopjes te doen. Terwijl je wendbare tuk tuk eenden en weeft tussen mensen, bussen en fietsen, zoom je in voor een bezoek aan de Wolvendaalkerk, een Nederlandse structuur uit het koloniale tijdperk die meer dan 360 jaar oud is. Bekijk de verzameling oude grafstenen van de kerk uit de historische Nederlandse gouverneurs van de stad en praat vervolgens met de kerkhoudster, die inzichten kan delen in de geschiedenis en cultuur van de stad.
Ga naar Sri Kaileshwarm Kovil (de hindoetempel van de kapitein), de belangrijkste aanbiddingsplaats voor inwoners van Colombo, en ga vervolgens naar het Onafhankelijkheidsplein, de plaats waar Sri Lanka in 1948 onafhankelijk werd van de Britse overheersing.
Srilanka heeft zijn beste edelmetaalindustrie en het eiland heette in de oudheid 'Island Of Gems'. Je wordt meegenomen naar een Gem Museum om de geschiedenis van juwelen met knip- en polijstervaring te bekijken
Ga naar een theefabriek waar je de ervaring van pure Ceylon-thee kunt proeven met het proeven ervan (chocolade, vanille, aardbei) zijn zeer beroemde smaken onder hen
Maak de laatste stop van de dag bij Gangaramaya Temple, een van de belangrijkste boeddhistische tempels in Colombo. Verken de architectuur en schilderijen van deze religieuze plek voordat je de straat oversteekt naar het Bera-meer, waar je meer te weten kunt komen over de hedendaagse kwesties zoals vervuiling waarmee inwoners van de stad worden geconfronteerd. Beëindig de reis met een drop-off terug naar uw oorspronkelijke startpunt.

A great tip around Colombo with Aashik. He was very knowledgeable and pointed out many sights. Lots of stops and places visited, no way would you find them on your own. Definately worth the money and highly recomended.

Aashik gave us a really nice Tuk tuk tour of Colombo, covering all the main sites. He gave also us a good description of some of the history of areas of the city. The driver he had was quite adept at navigating the Colombo traffic. He was very adaptable to change the tour to suit our requests. Since we are birders we wanted to see some of the bird life in the city so he led us through Victoria Park and stopped at a river to see some of storks and pelicans there. I would recommend getting Aashik as your tour guide

Not what was advertised. The tour guide left me with the driver about 5 minutes into the tour. The driver drove me around to a couple sites…not sure what we were passing because there wasn’t any information about the locations. The gem museum and tea shop were just tourist traps with high pressure sales. Then the driver dropped me off at the hotel after 2 hours and didn’t take me to the most interesting stop on the itinerary. But I bought the driver a coconut so we enjoyed that together. All in all it felt like a scam. I would not use this company.
Our trip was enjoyable. Our guide and driver were pleasant and knowledgeable of the city. They tried hard to take care of us. Only complaint was that too much of the tour was dropping us off at a tea shop and a gem store that they said was a museum but it was just at store with very persistent salesmen. We got good pictures at highlight spots. Booking with Viator was good. When we had confusion on pickup spot tour company answered the phone and worked it out.
I booked about $1000.00 in tours this trip with Viator. Had to cancel this tour because our ship arrived very late & all of our scheduling needed to be changed.I gave King fisher tours 20 hrs notice & not 24 because we were on the ocean with no internet or calling ability. They refused to give a refund based on their 24 hour notice. HOW INFLEXIBLE ARE THEY? 4 hours !!!!! I have tried to speak to a CSR to no avail. Everyone is at a call center in the PHillipines with a scripted response. I am very frustrated & can't imagine we have NO USA management to address this issue!!!!!
We had a kind, professional and attentive driver. I highly recommend this tour. Our itinerary took us to all of the highlights. We especially enjoyed the temples. And it was wonderful taking a tour of Colombo in a Tuk Tuk. Definitely try this if you are in Colombo.
Good communication pre tour .Driver didn’t introduce himself .No commentary ,said was Englishspeaking guide .Would have been better if explained route,points of interest ,looked intetested in his job.Asked for tip at the end .Such a shame as Viator always use excellent companies .
Good service from Aashik, a young and knowledgeable local entrepreneur! Pick up right at the cruise ship, great city tour, extra time at no charge. We highly recommend this tour

I booked this late on a Friday night for the following morning, and the communications worked well and my driver, Feros, was in contact early so I was reassured of the booking. The tour was fun! Tuk Tuk travel is like nothing else, and it’s amazing how it all works. Feros was very knowledgeable and attentive to my needs as a first timer in Colombo, and he took care of all aspects of the activity. He took me to each of the major sightseeing attractions and as I was a single traveller he kindly took photos of me in a various locations and sent them later via WhatsApp. This was very helpful and has allowed me to share my experience with family and friends. The tour ended, as with all these tours, with visits to shops where goods were demonstrated in the hope that I would buy. There was not, however, a very hard sell, which was a better experience than I have had before. I was dropped back at my starting point some 3 1/2 hours or so later, better for my experience!
