What to expect

Sri Lankan cuisine is unique, tantalizing, and a colorful journey that seems impossible to cover in a day, but this two and a half hour tour will get you to the tastiest morsels right away! Meet your food guide outside Colomobo's Galadari Hotel and begin a food walk around the city that will tease your taste buds and leave you hungry for more. You'll be visiting local street vendors, restaurants, and even get to observe food being prepared street side so you can discern how they are made. It's an eye opening tour not just about the food, but also about the culture within the city that is reflected in its food. You'll learn about Sri Lankan culture, norms, and its cuisine, as you taste hoppers, pickles, try drinks like the King Coconut drink, and more. You'll discover the characteristics that make Sri Lankan cuisine set apart from the others, such as their variations in rice and curry, local favorites on cooking methods and spices, and more. After sampling the snacks, you'll sit down to a good lunch or dinner to truly get a great taste of the cuisine. You'll return to your hotel with local sweets and vivid memories of the delectable tastes of Sri Lanka.

Review for: Evening Food Tour - 5:00pm

Originally, I booked the tour for 5 pm, but the tour guide decided to do it together with my city tour. It was fine with me, but the temperature was very warm. I also did enjoy the foods since I was allergic to seafood, and most of the food presented was seafood. But to sum it all up, I still ate some of it.

We were looking forward to our walking food tour, and had booked a one hour taxi from Negombo, however one hour before our tour, our host changed the tour to a city tour of Colombo in a car.....this is not what we booked.

Review for: Evening Food Tour - 5:00pm

Don’t book this tour. Better yet, don’t book any tour in Sri Lanka using Klook. We tried to book two things the first was cancelled (it happens) the second was this food tour. A few hours before the tour the tour operator contacted me asking if we could change to a driving tour not a walking tour and do a city+food tour. We had already done a city tour and I expressed this. The agent then assured me that it could still be a local food tour but in car. I was hesitant to accept due to reading that this happened to others and they had not had the best time. However, I reluctantly agreed as the agent didn’t offer any alternative and time was pressing on for us to do something else with our last night in Colombo. We arrived at the meet up place listed and the driver didn’t show up. After 10 minutes I contacted the agent and no response from them or the driver. After 20 minutes I contacted Klook who asked for proof (which I sent and still have) and I then informed them that we were leaving and I wanted a refund as I didn’t want to waste our last night and these two incidents hadn’t left me with much confidence that even when/ if the tour guide showed up, it would be a good tour. After 25 minutes the agent contacted me to say the driver had been waiting (but hadn’t thought to get in touch) and that he was at a different entrance (not the one listed on Klook’s website or one we had been informed of earlier). I told them we had already left and was in contact with Klook about a refund but the agent kept messaging me until I had to ask them to stop contacting us. We used other services to book tours and experiences in Sri Lanka and they went flawlessly, unfortunately the Klook ones did not.

only 1 found stand and 1 fruit stand and then a food court in mall to choose a main meal item. Not a food tour or a tour of any kind. long walk in heat to nowhere really down galley green. complete waste ic money, could have saved ourselves punishment and hand over the money and not go on “tour”

On 22.01.2023 I booked an excursion at 13:00. At 12:40 manager called me and told me, that excursion would be postponed to 15:00. She asked if it would be ok for me. If not, she would cancel and refund. I agreed for cancellation and refunding. But still my money are taken from card and no refund

Colombo street food can be a bit a mystery to outsiders. But once you know where to look, it's a very savoury and unique cuisine built from some many cultures. The tour lets try the best local treats and entrees without worry. The operator is VERY helpful...willing to customise for any request so you can learn as much as possible about the culture and cuisine. I can't recommend this tour enough to friends travelling the Sri Lanka for the first time. Amazing tour with a local.
