Great tour - We had a tour with Nishan yesterday, and it was great! He was ready and waiting for us when we came out of the hotel. Nishan really made sure we had a good time, letting us pick music for riding around in the tuk tuk and making sure we got some great photos.

A tour you do not want to miss - From the start the guide was informative funny a knew how to conduct a tour He took us to all the appropriate places and beyond. To watch the fish workers working behind the scenes was very humbling. We had enough time at each stop, and everything was clearly explained about the culture of Sri Lanka. We did two temples 1 church, fish market, food market, Canal, Dutch fort. In between the rides in the tuk tuks were a lot of fun!! He also took unlimited photographs of us all at certain points We cannot thank him enough for today. It’s been an absolute blast!

Tuk Tuk Tour Negombo - It was our first day in Sri Lanka and the Tuk Tuk tour was very interesting. Our drivers Nishan and Vishud drove us safe and explained a lot. We had plenty time to take photos. Everything was fine and we recommend Nishan and Vishud.

Nice way to learn about Negombo. - It was an educational experience, it was really nice to see an outside fish market where fish were caught and dried. Also it is a beautiful Buddhist temple with a huge history there. Also nice ride on tyk-tyk which takes you all around Negombo. It is worth to take this tour.

Absolutely... - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely fantastic TukTuk city tour in Negombo! This tour was one of the highlights of our trip! Our tour guide was incredibly nice, warm and attentive at all times. You immediately noticed how passionate and knowledge he has about his city – we got so much exciting background information and real insider insights into Negombo that you would never have discovered on your own. We were particularly impressed by how caring he was: During the trip he even bought us water so that we were well looked after in the heat. This service and personal attention have made the tour really special. The ride was perfectly organized, super varied and relaxed at the same time. We felt comfortable and welcome all the time. 100% recommendable – if you want to experience Negombo authentically, you should definitely book this TukTuk tour!If you want, I can also write you a slightly shorter version or a looser/English version for Viator.
