Knowledgable, helpful and flexible. - Driver was punctual, knowledgable, friendly and flexible. He spoke excellent English and at our request took us to a couple of bird spotting locations. He also went the extra mile to help us locate some specialty shops on the way back to our hotel that stocked our sizes on clothing and footwear items we’d left at home.

Fun way to check out the sites of Negombo - Had a great time checking out the sites of Negombo by tuk tuk. Nishan was a fantastic guide and very knowledgeable. A good way to get your bearings when first arriving in Sri Lanka.

Helitours great experience - Picked us up from Dolphin which is quite far out of town. Knowledge guy and very interesting without giving too much information. Super polite asked if we wanted to take a detour to shops which we did not so tailored the tour to where we wanted to see. There were also a church which was not open and he took us to an alternative which seemed better to me. Thanks so much had a great time and experience.

Excellent way to see the main industry (fishing and fish) and buildings (religious) - Nishan was extremely courteous and knowledgeable. Happy to include or omit sights. Negombo is interesting but clearly quite poor. Well worth the tour
