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!

Awesome
Fabulous excursion from start to finish. Ella is a must!!! We were extremely lucky to be given the opportunity to sit with the train driver to Ella, the guard took a video of us doing the usual tourist stuff (hanging out the train doors) and plenty of photos. The tuk-tuk to Nine Arch Bridges was like a roller coaster and another experience in itself. We trekked Little Adam’s Peak and had a go on the swing, the views are stunning. We grabbed some lunch then headed to the elephant orphanage. On the way we came across wild elephants we were lucky enough to get close while respecting that they're are wild animals. The orphanage was very cute. The journey was intensive but we expected a lot of travelling. I'd definitely recommend this activity.

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 .

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!

Two leopards spotted!
On this safari, something rare happened; we spotted two leopards at once and observed them for about 2 hours. Exciting and fascinating - even if the leopards were rather taking it easy. We observed a number of other animals such as water buffalo, crocodiles, and deer. And tons of birds.
Wilpattu is a beautiful and not so crowded nature park with a lot of forest and shrubs as well as watering holes and lakes.
Regarding the tour operator: The pickup and return trip were perfect, punctual, and with a very safe driver. The tour guide through the national park was very knowledgeable and very nice. Incredible how he saw the animals while driving - I usually had no clue before he pointed them out to me.
This experience is an absolute recommendation.

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!

Best tour ever
I have done many tours the last few years across many countries and 3 continents and this was by far the best tour I have been on. Kavindu Minipura Was super flexible, kind, entertaining, and humble. He was willing to go the extra mile to give me a great experience. I felt like a friend or a family member not a just a tourist job. If you do this tour and get him you are blessed. Seeing sites is breathtaking but experiencing them is an honour!!

Great way to see Ella in a day!
We booked this as we were only in Sri Lanka a short time, and wanted to see Ella. This was a great way to tick off a few of the sights without it taking up more than a day. It was a guided tour but not much information given on each location, but it was still really good. We’d definitely recommend this trip!

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🤗

Epic Yala Safari
This was one of the best experiences of my life. The best safari in Sri Lanka did not disappoint. I was lucky enough to see three elephants and two leopards. The private tour was fantastic and included the best excursion lunch I’ve ever had. This tour is an absolute must
