It was very interesting to see colombo from a tuk tuk. Food was good. Learnt heaps.
Thank you so much! 😊 I’m glad you enjoyed exploring Colombo by tuk tuk, the food, and learning about our city. It was a pleasure having you with us.
Superb tour. Temples, hubs of administration, tea experience & samosas from the Muslim area of the city. We experienced so much more than if we'd gone through a big travel agent or hotel recommendation & felt it was very authentic. Dinuka is a gem & he shows you the real city.
We were a family of 6. We had a great few hours. Dinuka was very accommodating and we all enjoyed the experience. It was a great experience especially when we only had a 24hours.

Our driver Dinuka and his colleague gave us all the main sights in an impressive and eventful drive through Colombo. With many explanations at the respective stops we learned a lot about the country and people. Thank you.
Great tour. Our ship was 2 hours late. Dinuka waited for us and gave our full 4 hour tour. He took us to a great Indian restaurant. Exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend. We had a lot of fun zipping around the city in the Tuk Tuk.
Excellent guide, full of knowledge. Visited lots of places that we have not seen before. Lunch was super but ensure you have some water to add to your enjoyment.
We had a great time with Dinuka on our tuk tuk tour. He was knowledgable and answered any questions we had in detail. The curry was very nice too! Recommended
