Reviews
It’s a very amazing half day trip in Colombo. The driver was so patient in showing me around this city although they are raining during the trip, we negotiated some amazing views as well. We would like to recommend this travel item for customers. Some suggestions: 1. before travel, we can download what’s app, it is convenient for us to chat easily 2. we also can find some landscape or some new schedule and then tell the driver in advance 3. Depends on driver services whether good or not to and give their tips. 4. Must wake up early. You can experience local food and local markets. 5. Make sure the views are open or not Hope you are enjoying this travel in Colombo :)

I appreciate the tour in terms of visiting temples and tourist spots. One thing that I just want the tour operator to improve is the tour guide to better speak with clarity because I can't understand some words she was saying. But I really learned a lot from the experience.
Highly recommend this tour. it covers all places and our guide Mr. Lakshman was knowledgeable and courteous.
