The only way to brave the insane traffic of Colombo and to see the fascinating past to the future of the country. Our guide Starlin was a great guide, knowledgeable and very flexible. We stayed for as long as we wanted at each stop. The Tuk Tuk was well shaded and moving air kept us cool. Our questions didn’t faze him, neither did the traffic. Highly recommended, top notch all round.
Khan was a total professional, he gave amazing details of the history of all the places visited. The Tuk Tuk tour was a perfect way to see most of Colombo's attractions and maximize my time. Thanks heaps Khan, you have created some great memories.
Very good discovery of Colombo by Tuk Tuk, it was practical and pleasant. We see lots of places and also the city
You spoke in easy-to-understand English, and I was able to listen and understand very well without being intimidated by the hearing. I was grateful that you took pictures at all the tourist spots. I had so many samples at the tea tasting corner that my stomach hurt, but the Ceylon tea, which came in four strengths, was made into milk tea and was incredibly delicious. I bought it because I didn't want to leave after just the tasting.
Sterlin was a brilliant and knowledgable tour guide who made Colombo feel magical. He has an excellent grasp of the history of the city which made the tour all the more interesting. He drove safely, and took fantastic photos! Couldn’t recommend him more. Great value for money.
I am very satisfied. You explained it slowly and gently in English, and it was easy to understand. Thanks to Stalin.
It was a fantastic tour with Stalin! We visited a lot of places in Colombo in a span of just 4 hours in his comfortable red tuktuk. He also explained the significance of each place we visited ( the oldest fort, maritime museum, Lotus Tower, park, St. Anthony Church, buddhist temple, market, among others and also took very good pictures of us. Thanks a lot Stalin for the wonderful tour indeed.
