After a difficult time of...
Jane_C, May 2024
After a difficult time of meeting up with our guides and their TukTuks we ended up having a very enjoyable and informative tour including a delicious lunch!
Best of Colombo in 4hrs!
Justin_T, May 2024
We booked this tour very last minute as we had an unexpected long transfer in Colombo however luckily they were able to accommodate us! Ramesh was our guide and he did a fantastic job in showing us around all of the sights with a friendly manner, with lots of information and great English! With took in all of the main sites, tried some great local food and certainly got a good introduction to the city. Well recommended!
Great way to see sights in Colombo!

This was a wonderful tour. Our guides were knowledgeable and helpful, and we had a fabulous time! We saw parts of the city we never would otherwise have seen, and thoroughly enjoyed the excursion.
Colombo TukTuk Tour
jimmy_c, Apr 2024
What a great tour. There was some confusion on our part because when we arrived we checked GPS and were 6km away from Kingsbury Hotel instead of 2km as stated in the tour description. We did not realize that it is an industrial port and the cruise ship has to shuttle you to the port entrance. At that point it was 1.9km on our GPS. We got to hotel and operator was waiting and our driver promptly arrived and off we went. Our guide, Sagar, was very knowledgeable and guided us around the city pointing out landmarks and explaing significance of each. He stayed with us as we navigated the overwhelming market. He translated for us as we made purchases and was concered for our comfort the entire time. We had several different stops as well as a great lunch provided by tour operator. If you have only a little time in Colombo this is a great tour that will provide you a great overview of this interesting, busy city.
Letty’s Experience
Letty_C, Apr 2024
I was able to see the sights at my own pace and the guide went above and beyond to make sure I had a great and safe time. This experience was memorable.

Ricky was great - his tour proved to be the perfect way to immerse in Colombo, see the sights, and make sense of the city.

Pleasant Tour in Colombo
Apo_O, Apr 2024
We had a very nice tour with Ramesh. He was on time and drove us all around over 4 hours while explaining main buildings and events. Buddhist Temple was amazing and the old governor building was much fun, too.
Great guide great tour
Craig_J, Apr 2024
Ricky was top class. Great guy. Great tour. The sites were excellent and the guide was very knowledgeable.
Wonderful way to see Colombo
Helen_A, Apr 2024
I had the pleasure of having Ricky as my solo guide for the afternoon. It was fantastic because I only planned to have 3/4 of a day in Colombo and this tour checked off all major or interesting sights! Even though I asked a lot of questions, he always tried to provide helpful responses and shared a lot of information about Sri Lankan culture. We visited all the sights and he kindly waited for me as I went up the Lotus Tower.
Great intro into Colombo
Kristen_L, Apr 2024
We had one day in Sri Lanka as visiting by cruise ship and this was a terrific experience. We had a great time with our guide/driver, Ramesh. The company communicated with us about pick up time and place. the stops that we went to were interesting and good way to get an intro into Sri Lanka. Ramesh was a great driver and getting around by Tuk Tuk was definitely a good way to see the city. Tour included a very nice tasty lunch and snack.
Pick up location changed, not told, refund request denied
Charles_D, Mar 2024
We went to location on our ticket info, a hotel…. 20 minutes of waiting, driver/ guide called yelling he was at the pier waiting for us….he refused to come to hotel to get us…just yelled. No refund, no refund…Viator chat rep agreed no indication of new location, however Viator will not refund….
Response from Host, Apr 2024
I think you have misunderstood the instructions. We informed all our cruise ship customers on the change of pickup location to Gate 1 (port entrance). Please see our WhatsApp messages on the conversation In this regard. We picked 12 of our customers from there on the same day (28.03.2024). This is not our mistake . We greatly appreciate if you could remove the comment from our page.
Great Colombo highlights tour by tuk tuk
Thomas_R, Mar 2024
Wonderful 1/2 day tour with Ricky, our driver and tour guide. He explained each stop in great detail and pointed out numerous sights along the way.
A little bit of everything
Maris_M, Mar 2024
The perfect way to see a few different sides of Colombo in a short amount of time. Everyone in my group loved something different: the market, the temple, the old Dutch area, the coffee vendor. Lunch was also fantastic- one of our best meals in Sri Lanka! Highly recommended.
Fabulous way to see the city.
Patricia_L, Mar 2024
Took this tour yesterday evening and it was fabulous . My driver / guide was Ricky. He was very professional, knowledgeable, interesting and fun. I recommend this tour to see the sights of Columbo and get an understanding of the history. Ricky went out of his way to make sure I enjoyed the tour. Thank you - Trish Linton
Great highlight tour
Justin_H, Mar 2024
Ricky was great. We only had time for 3 hours so he customized tour for highlights. Safe driving and tons of great information.
A fantastic introduction to Colombo!
Simon_C, Mar 2024
Romesh was an excellent guide, who we’d strongly recommend to show you around Colombo. His polite manner and knowledge helped us appreciate the culture, history and feel of the city and its frenetic traffic! Experiencing Colombo by tuktuk is a must and Romesh was a great driver. In addition to visiting the key sights of the city Romesh had arranged street food and tea tasting stops which were great. The highlight for me was walking around Pettah Market with Romesh showing his the diverse range of market stalls and products on sale.
Absolutely super and so unexpected
Rory_W, Mar 2024
Linda and I would like to thank Ricky for a super afternoon. We really had a great time and saw some amazing sights around Colombo. It’s worth bearing in mind that Tuk tuk’s are not allowed in the port so you have to meet at entrance. We got to see loads and even had some food ! Well done and hope to see you again in the future
