It was very fun and lots... - It was very fun and lots of food - a bit too spicy for me though. Fun riding in the Tuk Tuk and guide was very informative.

Amazing Scooty Tour - What a fun way to explore Negombo! Riding the scooty along the beach and through local streets was amazing. Our guide was super friendly and showed us hidden places we’d never find on our own. Highly recommended!”

Excellent Service - I took the tuk-tuk tour on a Sunday with my family and am glad I did. I found that the market and
streets were less busy than usual, making it a more enjoyable experience to walk around.
Colombo city is also a sightsee if you go with the right people. We were offered an authentic
lunch at a hotel. The lunch was delicious. Moreover, it was a peaceful day with less people on
the road. We thoroughly enjoyed our city tour. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting
Colombo for a unique taste of the city, with an expert guide to take you around. The guides are
friendly and willing to go above and beyond to help

Super Tour of Columbo - Was picked up at our hotel in Nagombo ontime by T. Kavithan and we were not rushed as we were just finishing breakfast there.
We were taking the 40km to Columbo and started our fabulous tour including visiting a Hindu temple. The Town Hall, a market, the amazing Red Mosque and Independance building. Lunch was also provided to us.
Our guide was very knowledgeable about Columbo and knew everyone!
He dropped us off at a place we wanted to go to, to end our trip.
All in all it was a super packed-in 4 hour tour by a great guide, that we would highly recommend anyone going to Columbo to do.

Private Full-day Colombo City Tour by Tuk Tuk - My husband and I took the street food tour as we just wanted to taste authentic Sri Lankan
street food. I must say, one of my favorite aspects of Sri Lankan street food is the vibrant
atmosphere created by the vendors and the bustling street markets. The vendors are friendly
and welcoming, and they are eager to talk and make recommendations. The street markets are
a great place to explore and experience local culture, and food is an important part of that.
Another highlight of the tour was the best coffee and tea shops that we visited. We had a
chance to taste and buy some of the best quality tea and coffee in the city. It was a unique and
enjoyable experience. Our guide was so friendly and helpful throughout while we were exploring
and tasting food.

Amazing Colombo - Colombo city tour was a great experience. The level of comfort provided by our tuk-tuk tour
impressed us right away. We felt safe and comfortable throughout the journey because the
vehicle was clean and well-maintained. It was a unique local tuk-tuk tour experience was a highlight. Traveling around the city in this manner gave us a truly authentic perspective, and we felt as if we were experiencing Colombo as the locals do. This tour is highly recommended for anyone visiting Colombo. It provides a unique and authentic perspective of the city and its culture, and both the guide and the tour company provided excellent service

Unenjoyable experience, not as advertised, poor planning and pacing - Would not recommend this tour. We've been on multiple food tours throughout the world at this point, and unfortunately this was by far the worst we've experienced, food tour or otherwise.
The positives:
- the food itself and locations were good and we probably would not have known about the restaurants on our own.
- the pickup and drop off were easy, transportation was good, and communication before the start was helpful
Negatives. Tour not as advertised:
- length: the whole tour lasted under 2 hours despite being advertised as 3.5hrs.
- itinerary not as advertised and parts missing: There were no drinks, no king coconut, no spice or tea tasting, no exploration of Negombo or anything of the sort.
- uneducational: there was no attempt to explain the foods or tell us anything about Negombo, aside from 'this is a traditional Sri Lankan food' which is implied. We learnt nothing from this tour that we couldn't have just Googled ourselves
- disengaged guide: although our guide was nice, he might have something happening at home as he was on the phone for the majority of the time and seemed to be rushing through the tour. In which case, it would've been best if he just cancelled it. Attempts to ask him questions about Negombo or the food resulted in a short answer and just very little engagement to make the tour interesting at all.
Other cons
— portion sizes: on similar tours a plate of food is shared between 2-4 participants which allows everyone to have a taste of something new while having enough room to taste many things. This was not the case, we were given whole plates of food for each person and a lot would have been wasted if we didn't take the food with us. Going so quickly through restaurants meant that it was hard to enjoy the food and there was too much given too fast. No time to savour or really enjoy the food.
- samey food items: the only foods we were introduced to were savoury items, all of which were a variation of bread or dough (dosa, hopper, kotthu). There were no sweet items or anything else, no drinks besides bottled water (even though coconut and tea were advertised) . This could have so much potential, maybe seasonal exotic fruits, Sri Lankan sweets, etc.
Overall I cannot willingly recommend this tour to anybody. This whole tour did not feel like a food tour, it felt like a speedrun of 3 restaurants via tuk tuk.
