Exhilarating and fun - This was an amazing tour. We toured many of the local “must do” locations as well as some off the beaten path. We were immersed in local culture and food. A must do experience in Colombo. This was the best tour experience we have ever had.

Wonderful way to see Columbo - We booked this tuk tuk safari around Colombo as our last trip in Sri Lanka .it was such a great way to fill in time whilst waiting to catch a plane . We stopped at a Hindu, and Buddhist temple, drove past the red and white mosque . Drove through the throngs of people and pavement of the crazy markets . We got such a great feel for the city . We also stopped for fruit drink and had an authentic Sri Lanka meal served on a lotus leaf. Our tour guide couldn’t do enough for us and even found a second hand book store for my husband . He shared so much of his island history and culture and is really great unofficial ambassador for his land . And of course a great tuk tuk driver .

Brilliant tuk tuk tour of Colombo. - We booked this as a party of 8 (4 x 2 couples) for the last day of our cruise and met Pradeep at the port exit where he introduced us to his drivers and gave all the ladies a welcome garland and introduced us to the other drivers, all kitted out in uniform. There was complimentary beer and water in the tuk tuk along with a refreshing coconut drink so we're off to a great start.
The 4 - 5 hour tour itself was great with various stops at places like the Dutch hospital, a couple of amazing temples and a drive down the bustling market street. Included in our tour was a meal at a traditional Sri Lankan restaurant.
This was a superb tour, good value for money and an excellent and very different way to see and understand the heritage and culture of Colombo and Sri Lanka.

Superb intro to Colombo - This was an absolutely fantastic excursion. Pradeep was a superb guide and we thoroughly enjoyed all his insights, not only about Colombo, but about Sri Lanka in general. All the food stops along the way certainly enriched the experience exponentially. The lunch in particular was outstanding. Thank you showing us a small part of your amazing city👍 Highly recommend this tour.

Traveling by Tuk Tuk is an exhilarating experience winding through market crowds, the aromas of spices filling the air. Enjoyed seeing familes in festive clothing at temples.We were offered various traditional snacks along no the way and a luncheon at seaside establishment.
