The most trust worthy Tuk-tuk drivers - We arrived on Celebrity Millennium, it's all a bit daunting, the cruise ship offers tours but so expensive and you can just jump on the shuttle and you will be met by many Tuk-tuk drivers and to be honest if you book with Blaze before you arrive he will look after you totally. The other drivers agree a price before you jump in and do not pay until you are finished they will always complain about not enough money and see us as millionaires and in away we are to them support Blaze and he will look after all your requirements and show you the best places, he will not moan about the injustice and you will definitely Tip him because you enjoyed your time with him and you can book for the next day too.

Must Do!! - We had an absolutely fantastic time with Blaze Tuk Tuk Safari in Colombo! From start to finish, the tour was fun, informative, and truly memorable. He was friendly, professional, and deeply knowledgeable about the city’s history, culture, and hidden gems, so the tour felt more like exploring with a local friend than a typical sightseeing trip. If you are not hiring this tuk tuk - you wasted your visit to Colombo. Highly recommended!

5 star food and city tour. Highly recommend if you only have a day in colombo - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Had an amazing time on Blaze’s tuk tuk food safari. We got a full sightseeing tour of Colombo along the way, with lots of history and background about the city which made it even better. The food was delicious – coconut sambal and coconut roti were the standouts for me. Blaze is a great guy and such a fun guide, really easy company. Felt more like hanging out with a mate who knows all the best spots than being on a tour. Would definitely recommend if you’re in Colombo

Fantastic experience and best way to get your fix - Really really great afternoon out and personally one of the best ways to see the city and experiencing the food vendors. Blaze has excellent English and knowledge and wonderful guy he is. Went with my friend and we had the best time chatting and getting to know lots abt Sri Lanka (formerly called “Ceylon”… Blaze taught us that)

Yummy and fascinating - Blaze picked us up in his comfortable tuk-tuk in the afternoon of our first day in Colombo. He took us to a variety of food trucks, vendors, and restaurants over the four hour tour. My favorite were the hoppers! He also timed it just right that we saw the sunset from the end of Galle Face Green. Blaze is an excellent communicator, is very organized, and gives an interesting and flexible street food tour. I highly recommend this!

You'll have to pay extra money - Blaze was friendly and took me to many tourist spots. However, he asked me extra 2,000 rupees to pay for the food because I was solo. I have never experienced this in 38 other countries that I did food tour. Even if I was solo.
