A great tour of Colombo by a knowledgeable guide - We decided in advance to do a tour by a local guide as we'd done others before. The ship prices were expensive and we would have been part of a large group.
Suneth met us at the Grand Oriental Hotel to start our 2 hr tour of the city. . He picked us up in a clean, airconditioned car which was great for travelling to places further away. He sent an itinerary which we could have modified but all his recommendations were great and they matched the tour offered by the ship but at a more competitive price. He gave a commentary on each place of interest . We saw all the places we had asked for. The tour ended early as it was a Sunday but Suneth was apologetic and was prepared to continue to other places but we were happy to finish. He is an experienced guide and comes fully recommended. Thanks Suneth.
(Tour was in January 2020 but TripAdvisor will only allow me to select back to 2021)
