Perfect Tuktuk Safari - We booked the tuk-tuk tour with several families during our stop in Colombo as part of our cruise. Each family had their own tuk-tuk, but we explored the city together. We truly saw the most beautiful sides of Colombo, got to taste local spices, and enjoyed a very delicious lunch. We felt very comfortable and had a wonderful day. Our driver took great care of our children and guided us through the colorful streets of Colombo. We can highly recommend this tour to everyone.

Wonderful holiday experience - There’s just so much to review, this was our first trip to Sri Lanka. We stayed at the Blue Water Hotel at Wadduwa. Its gardens looked out on to the immaculate gardens and pools and rough but beautiful ocean. The hotel was very comfortable and welcoming, the food was amazing with a huge variety of choice, Freshly prepared every day. Rooms were cleaned daily with fresh water and towels left. It was a busy hotel with many weddings during parts of the day taking place, but not noisy enough to cause any problems. There is also a small cafe area where you can have drinks and snacks. The are sun bed attendants who will bring you towels and drinks at your request. We had a holiday rep visit us after our arrival to make sure everything was ok and thru him we booked a 3 day trip away to visit other parts of Sri Lanka, Kandy Ella Galle, it was the best thing we did, we had a private driver who was very informative about the island and gave us a wonderful insight into the origins of SL and some of it’s history, the beautiful temples, tea plantations and the people who worked there who explained the tea processing, the people selling their wares along the busy roads, it was all just fantastic. Everyone seemed busy but always welcoming and happy to chat to you. We stayed at two hotels whilst away which were very clean and also we had lunch and dinners which gained everything was clean and offering a huge variety of choice. We booked our holiday thru Mercury Holidays and they were nothing but excellent in their services provided to us. We did so much on our two weeks away and can’t wait to do it all again, hopeful next year.

Great way to see Colombo - I booked this tour well in advance of our cruise ship’s stop in Colombo. The night before our tour, I received detailed information about where the pick up from port would be, and when I had further questions the next morning, the response was almost immediate. I can’t imagine a more fun or exciting way to experience Colombo than on this Tuk Tuk tour. We stopped at the city’s landmarks, spent time in a Buddhist temple, sampled coffee spiced with ginger and had a tea tasting. Lunch was included. Our guide, “Bob Marley,” was very personable and his excellent driving skills down city avenues and narrow shopping streets ensured our safe return to the ship. Thank you “Bob Marley” for this excellent adventure!

A Perfect Start to our Sri Lankan Adventure - What a fabulous first day in Colombo! We booked our tour in Melbourne prior to arriving and were so impressed by Praheed’s excellent communication. On the morning of our tour he rang to check that with three people in our group whether we wanted one or two Tuk Tuks- suggesting two for our comfort and wanting to optimise our experience. Fantastic service in booking a taxi for a pick up and drop off at our own expense from our hotel in Negombo. Every step of the way the communication was excellent. An action packed four hours in Colombo visiting temples. past well known landmarks, stops in the Spice Market and places to drink and eat. Our two drivers expertly navigated the hustle and bustle of Colombo and were keen to share their pride in the city. Could not recommend this day more- and a perfect start to exploring Sri Lanka!

Very Happy with Tour - As we exit the gate outside the cruise ship, I immediately noticed that the driver had a sign with my name. What a relief!! Donald introduced himself and gave us fresh flower garlands and coconut water. The tour by tuk-tuk was easy and safe. Donald took us to various note worthy sites and we were very happy with his knowledge about the area. I would highly recommend this company.

Colombo’s happiest Tuktuk tourists! - What a great day out around Colombo. Donald our guide was a real treasure and a wonderful human being to spend the day with, he showed us the sights of Colombo with great information and a smile on his face throughout the day. Couldn’t recommend him highly enough if you’re looking for a first class day out in Colombo.
And good luck Donald and wife for the arrival of your first child this year! Best wishes Joe & Rachel
