Short but great tour! - Although it was a short tour, Aashik was able to show us all the highlights of Colombo. We were picked up at our cruise port in a comfortable air conditioned car. We were able to spend some time at the Gem Factory…. Much to my husband’s displeasure as we did buy some beautiful jewelry. While in Sri Lanka, one must try Lion beer…my husband’s new favorite. Thank you Aashik for a memorable day.

COLUMBO CITY TOUR - Ferose was my driver and guide for my tour, he was an excellent driver and guide, made the tour, with his knowledge and helpfulness, nothing was too much for him, always checking that I was ok and whether there was anything I wanted to see or need. The tour was absolutely great, and Ferose made it so, Can highly recommend this tour, very interesting, well worth the time and cost. Finally a big thank you to my original contact with Kingfisher Tours, who, after a false start, got the tour re-organised,many thanks.🤗

Great tour and guides - Our tour guides were very informative and accommodating to our needs and desires. They knew exactly where to take us based on our descriptions. We saw quite a lot in a very short period of time. Great photographers as well.

A Reliable Tour - I did the Colombo City Sightseeing Tour with Kingfisher Tours Sri Lanka. From the beginning to the end It was a pleasent trip. They were very flexible on various matters. Normally I was out of the regular pick up area but with an extra arrangement they coordinated a pick up for me, changed the vehicle type and payment timing for my comfort and satisfaction. My guide Ferose was ready at the hotel, even before the pick up time. He was a nice and friendly gentleman and he was flexible as well. He made some slight changes in the tour according to my interests and expectations. I would suggest the tour and the company.

King Fisher Sri Lanka: Making the Top 30 Worst Tour Companies a Reality! - I had a short layover in Sri Lanka and booked a tour with King Fisher along with an airport transfer. Arriving at 4 AM on a rainy day in a crowded airport, there was no one to pick me up. Later that day, no one showed up for my afternoon tour either. The hotel manager took pity on me and arranged a driver, though he wasn't a guide, so my day didn't go as planned. Before the trip, Asshik from King Fisher sent me long messages boasting about being one of the best companies in Sri Lanka. When I messaged him about the missed pickups, he apologized, claiming a mistake, and continued to emphasize their professionalism and status. If this is one of the best, I dread to think how bad the worst could be
