Things to do in Colombo

We went to Yala National park today with Srizara. We had Lucky come with us as a naturalist and guide for the day. We had a great experience and were able to see all the animals on our list including the leopard with the opportunity to take great photos. We couldn’t have hoped for a better day thank you 🙂.

I had an amazing experience with this private tuk-tuk tour in Colombo! My transport from Kalutara was delayed, so I arrived about 30 minutes late, and my drop-off location also changed unexpectedly. But my guide was incredibly kind and flexible, even coming to pick me up at the new location. Despite the limited time, he took me to many places, including historical landmarks, Lotus Tower, a Ceylon tea shop, and some beautiful hidden gems. He also shared fascinating insights about Sri Lanka’s history, culture, and current situation, which made the tour much more meaningful. After the tour, he even helped me find an affordable direct bus to the airport. He took me to another terminal when the first one was full and made sure I could get to the airport on time for my 11 PM flight. Highly recommended! He was knowledgeable, helpful, flexible, and genuinely cared about making my experience in Colombo memorable. Definitely one of the best decisions I made in Sri Lanka!

Absolutely fantastic 7-day tour in Sri Lanka with Ceylon Paradise Travel. Our guide Chanaka was professional, welcoming, and very knowledgeable. He flexibly and thoughtfully adjusted the plans according to the weather. The itinerary matched our interests perfectly, and every day felt enjoyable and well organized. We learned a lot, took great photos, and truly felt taken care of from start to finish. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a personalized and stress-free way to explore Sri Lanka!

Sadeep, the local operator, who is also the snorkeling guide and expert was very thorough with everything. First, he suggested that we have to move our booking from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM for better weather conditions of the trip, and glad we did! Secondly, he picked us up earlier 8:50 AM which was very nice. Thirdly, upon arriving at the area where we gonna do the activity, he explained everything: from the dos and donts, our snorkeling experiences, etc. Fourth, we saw a total of 3 turtles and it was a great experience! Lastly, Sadeep offered a king coconut as refreshments after the activity. It was fun, well guided trip and very affordable.

We had a very great travel with Ceylon Travel having Mr Oshan our Tour guide who was very accommodating and attentive to us. Overall we have a long day but the experience is imprinted in memories cannot be forgotten. We had the comfortable transportation and best experience with Mr Oshan as our tour guide.

This tour is worth the price, the tour guide is very friendly and helpful, definitely will booked him and this tour again for next time visit to Sri Lanka. Having wonderful time at here. 😇

Had a wonderful holiday in Sri Lanka!! Kuddos to Ravi for giving me memorable memories in Sri Lanka through it’s beautiful history in Sigiriya and Polonaruwa and also wonderful experience in Yala National Park!! will try diving next time in Sri Lanka (Ravi’s recommendation)! 😁😁😁

The driver's service was truly excellent; he gave us plenty of time to visit the tourist attractions. I am very satisfied with the quality of service provided by the driver during our tour. Although it was a half-day tour, the driver was incredibly kind and spent almost five hours with us. He even asked if we wanted to see a church and offered to continue the tour. We are very grateful to him!

I participated two years ago, and the quality of the tour has slightly declined (too many shopping excursions). Also, the tour fee has increased quite exorbitantly (reportedly, that country now implements differential pricing for foreigners; for example, elephant park tickets are more than ten times higher for foreigners than for locals).
