Tuk-Tuk Fun in Sri Lanka - This was amazing! Our guides were awesome! Travelling around Colombo quickly and efficiently, seeing all the sites close up, with photo stops anytime you wanted! We visited Hindu temples and Buddhist temples with complete explanations by our guides. We stopped at two local shops for authentic souvenirs, and then went for lunch for authentic Sri Lankan cuisine. The tour was advertised to be 3-4 hours, but ours was 5+ hours!

A good overall tour of the City with knowledgeable guide - Arriving by ship in the afternoon, we were kindly offered an air-conditioned car (at no additional charge) and driver rather than a tuk-tuk, which we gratefully accepted. A list of City highlights was supplied and visited, with a personal guide/driver. As we were the only guests, we added in another stop to the cricket grounds. There were the stops at the usual shopping locations, but we passed on the final street of shopping - too hot and we were happy with all of the tourist sites visited. We did have to pay $4 to get into the Temple, but it was a modest fee for the large buildings and contents. We would highly recommend this company and tour if you only have a morning or afternoon to spend in the City.

Colombo tuk tuk - Good tour but just be advised this tour is purely a tuk tuk around and doesn’t cover any entrance costs to anything you might visit. There seems to be a lot of visits to temples where there’s an entrance fee that you pay to driver. Best advice is be firm and visit sights and only visit temples you genuinely want to visit or trip could get costly. At the end they will try to take you to obligatory spice shop, jewellery shop etc, just refuse if you don’t want to go. Other than that great little tour.
