Enjoyed Excursion but Transport could be improved
We enjoyed the experience however the car we travelled in was uncomfortable for the 3 guests in the back seat, especially when exiting and entering between the various stops. A minimum six seater vehicle would have been more appropriate for the 4 of us.
The driver/guide spoke very good English, very nice man and was a very safe driver in the busy traffic. We covered all the sights promised but would have been happy to miss out the Gem Store and Tea Factory shop.

Great tour and driver
Our driver Calli was brilliant, very knowledgeable and good sense of humour. He took us around all the sites, and was our guide also.
While we were visiting one of the temples, there had been a wedding and Calli took us through to where the food was and to help ourselves and had a cup of tea. That was pretty special moment.
Would definitely recommend this tour

Not worth the money - saw very little of the city.
The temple was interesting but the rest of the trip was a waste of time. Following a quick tour of the temple we visited a jewellery shop (which we had said we weren’t interested in) and a tea shop who was a relative of the driver. We then did a quick 10 minute tour of the city on route back to the ship. We would have done better to have arranged our own visit with a private taxi!
The driver was more interested in complaining about the current government than telling us anything about the city buildings!

Higher recomended. Best way to see the city
Tour operator was excellent. We had a group of eight. The ship was boarded two hours late. and the tour operator still waited for us. Tuk Tuk ride was exciting. Going in and out of heavy traffic . Tour operator even offered to pick us up after the culture show with no extra charge.
Higher recommended

Great
The ability to alter the trip as needed. Our guide was very good and did not rush us . The pick up and drop off points were very beneficial.

A very interesting and informative trip, with a great driver who managed to avoid all the manic Tuk Tuks! His knowledge of the City was wonderful.

Outstanding experience on our city tour in Colombo
Our guide Chindhaka was amazing!!! he took us to the Hindu and Buddhist Temple. He took us to a tea store and to a gym store, where my husband purchased a sapphire. The highlight of my adventure was to see the elephants in the park where I got some great pictures. He was very personable, professional and knowledgeable .
