What are people saying about Colombo
MOHAMEDRASOOL_M, Oct 2026
Great experience for a first timer in Colombo. Nasrin our guide was superb.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Outstanding Tuk Tuk Ride with Nasrin!
I had the pleasure of riding with Nasrin during my time in Colombo, and I can confidently say he’s one of the best tuk tuk drivers I’ve come across. He was polite, professional, and incredibly helpful throughout the journey.
His tuk tuk was clean and well-maintained, and he drove with great care and confidence, making me feel completely safe even in Colombo’s busy traffic. Nasrin was also very friendly and easy to talk to — he shared local tips, recommended great places, and made the ride a genuinely enjoyable experience.
If you’re in Colombo and need a reliable, respectful, and honest tuk tuk driver, Nasrin is your guy. I’ll definitely be contacting him again whenever I return to Sri Lanka!

Great day trip!
Highly recommend this day trip from Colombo to Sigiriya and Dambulla Cave Temple. My driver was great and got me everywhere safely and I had a wonderful guide at Sigiriya to help me get to the top while telling me all about the history. Be prepared for lots of steps but the views from the top and the accomplishment of making it to the top are worth it!

Value for Money - Go for it
A very well planned 3 day trip by Viator. The pacing is comfortable. Mr Arron my driver / guide did his job very well , 10 / 10 to Viator for choosing the right places to visit in 3 days so you get a good tour of important Places outside Colombo . A few points for improvement The Hotel 88th Ella at Ella was comfortable but the dinner was limited to a small set menu ( 4 dishes to choose from ) . If this stay venue can be changed . The Guide at Sigiriya Mr Tushar was no where near the top class guides normally I have encountered with Viator trips. His English was not clear . The guide did not cover the safety aspects when you climb up this treacherous route to the top of the Sigiriya Mountain . He was very casual . There were very strong winds as we climbed up the hill . No safety instructions given by the guide . Also his knowledge of the site was inadequate. This trip is value for Money . Just go for it .

Highly recommended Colombo city tour
Excellent city tour covering alk from itinerary plus few extra stops also. My guide Ahilan was very friendly and had lots of interesting background information about Sri Lankas history. He was also very flexible and dropped me off other side of the city at my request. Highly recommended tour and guide. Thank you.

This tour was the perfect...
This tour was the perfect introduction to Colombo on our first day in the city. Ramesh was an expert driver and efficient tour guide and managed to show us so many highlights in the brief time we had. He shared many interesting parts of his city with us with levity and humor. To top it off, we finished with dinner of the best chicken kottu roti I had on the entire trip. I definitely recommend this tour!

Day in Galle and south coast with boat trip
Very interesting train ride with views of the coast and people's daily lives! My guide was Kevin (Indika) and he was very kind taking me to the moonstone mine and the mask museum which were optional! The boat trip and the highlight, with crocodile and fish massage. In the afternoon, the sunset closed the day at the Galle fort! Finally, a perfect day with fun, culture, and many landscapes always accompanied by Kevin's attention! Highly recommend!

One interesting day in Galle, Sri Lanka
I spent a very good and positive day with my guide Lal Kumarage, he was all the time polite, helpful and gentle, all the time gave me a lot of tips during our tour. The tour was interesting, informative and without rush, I could change something during our tour without any difficulties. Thank you and I can recommend this company to provide you in Sri Lanka.

Ella
It is a long day and an early start but we'll worth it.
The train was amazing got to see he drivers cab and talk to the driver about his years on the train.
Lunch very nice and our driver the best.
The tea plantation was educational wish they had a shop

Great trip to Yala!
This was a great trip that we’d definitely recommend if you’re staying near Galle. We managed to see leopards, elephants, lots of bird varieties, monkeys, deer, buffalo, crocodiles, and lizards, just to name a few. We didn’t think we’d be able to see so much in a day trip, so it was definitely worth it!

Sri Lanka with Kushan
Booked Kushan our private driver who drove us around different places for four days. Pick up at the airport and then drove us to Galle-Nuwara Eliya-Udawalawa-Unawatuna. Also stopped at other sights if we wished. Recommended good places to eat during the trip. Super nice guy who took good care of us and did everything to make sure we had the best experience possible. Simply the best guide🤗

Perera was great, and the layover trip was excellent
Perera was fantastic - a wealth of information along with all of the sights to go with it. We came in at 12PM, he picked us up with a sign at arrivals, and took us out on a great adventure. We were back to the airport at 6PM, right on time for our next flight.

Compact well-organized day tour to the absolute highlights
It was a well-organized day trip from Colombo, leading to the highlights of Sigiriya Lion Rocks and Dambulla Cave Temple. I was picked up from the hotel on time. Of course it is a good 2-3 hour drive. But if you don't have time like me, you'll put up with it. A must in Sri Lanka. There were two other options (price surcharge with Jeep Safari and Village Safari with Traditional Lunch). I decided to go on a village safari with an ox cart ride, traditional food and a small boat trip. Everything perfectly organized. A guide led us up the Lion's Rock (1280 steps), but they are easy to do (with smaller breaks). I'm over 60). Great view from up there.
After 15H I was back at the hotel (traffic etc).
I can recommend this tour, which are limited in time and therefore need it compact. Our driver mastered every traffic jam perfectly
