We had a kind, professional and attentive driver. I highly recommend this tour. Our itinerary took us to all of the highlights. We especially enjoyed the temples. And it was wonderful taking a tour of Colombo in a Tuk Tuk. Definitely try this if you are in Colombo.

I booked this late on a Friday night for the following morning, and the communications worked well and my driver, Feros, was in contact early so I was reassured of the booking. The tour was fun! Tuk Tuk travel is like nothing else, and it’s amazing how it all works. Feros was very knowledgeable...
