It was perfect, good food and good timing especially for a transit in Colombo. Flight was delayed. We will be back for a proper trip. Oir driver, Boby, made this excursion!

A wonderful trip

This was an amazing trip! We enjoyed so much delicious food along the way and got to experience some of the most authentic Sri Lankan cuisine. Faizar was also an excellent driver—friendly, professional, helpful, and great to chat with throughout the journey. Most importantly, you’ll be eating a lot! Make sure to come with an empty stomach, or you’ll definitely regret it! 😂

Just like being driven around and shown Colombo like an old friend!!

Faizur is a brilliant tour guide, it didn’t feel like a tour, but instead a drive around Colombo with an old friend! Faizur took me to all the good places in Colombo to get great tasting and high quality food! I was not disappointed, and would do it again tomorrow! Thank you very much for a fantastic time!

Book this tour, you will not regret it!!

Faizur is a fantastic tour guide, I felt like I was being driven around Colombo by a friend, being shown and given some of the best food I have eaten. From short eats, to spicy seafood and kotthu roti, all were fantastic and did not disappoint. Faizur also was very knowledgeable about Colombo and Sri Lanka, I learned so much and had a great time.

Tuk tuk food tour

Great tour from start to finish. Our driver Boby was very knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. He explained what every dish was etc. The food was fantastic and although most dishes had spices in it wasn't overwhelming. Great way to sample Sri Lankan food and I highly recommend it
