Location: Colombo, Sri Lankaarrived at the agreed pickup location on time for my tuk tuk tour. Unfortunately, the driver never showed up.
I attempted to contact the tour operator using the phone number provided and called at least 5–6 times, but no one answered. After waiting and being unable to reach anyone, I had no choice but to return to my cruise ship.
This situation represents a complete failure to deliver the paid service.
I kindly request a full refund for this booking. I can provide supporting evidence such as call logs if needed.
Please confirm receipt of this request and advise on the next steps.
Response from Host, May 2026
Please check your previous messages on WhatsApp. We have already sent the driver’s photo and the vehicle number plate details, but it appears these were not reviewed. The pickup location details provided at the time of booking were also not checked.
You did not arrive at the location mentioned on our Viator page. We waited for one hour at the agreed meeting point, as previously informed. We have proof of this.
We have already paid the driver’s salary for this booking; therefore, we are unable to cancel the tour. If your travel agent is willing to reimburse this amount to us, we can proceed with the cancellation.
Thank you.

Starting with the pre-communocarion, we so appreciated hearing from the driver beforehand with the arrangements for pick-up. Importantnwhen one arrives in an unfamiliar city. Ricky was pleasant and a good communicator. He knew his history and local knowledge. Thanks for a good day!

Excellent way to see the main sights of Colombo and be part of the action. My driver/guide tailored the experience to fit my limited mobility. I appreciated the include rice and curry lunch at a small place I would never have found myself.
Mercedes_T, Mar 2026
EXCELLENT food and come on an empty stomach! I’m salivating just thinking about how diverse and delicious all the options were. The hoppers were great, especially the coconut one! I was picked up promptly and taken to get a coconut which I had never seen an orange/yellow variety before! My guide K had the best attitude and was very patient!

Excellent Tuk Tuk tour with Sanjay who drove very carefully. We visited all the sites listed. Sanjay had very good knowledge and his English was also good . Finished off the tour with an enjoyable curry. The company were able to accommodate an earlier time at short notice.

A great drive around Colombo in tuk tuk. Interesting walk around the market and lots of historical sites. Really good overview of the city including great lunch served at restaurant full of locals

This isn’t just a tour, it’s like driving around being shown the sights in Colombo by an old friend. Mr Faisal’s knowledge was amazing and he found the best place for lunch!

I had an amazing experience on a private tuk-tuk tour in Colombo. It was not only fun but also very educational. My guide was kind, attentive, and passionate about sharing his knowledge, making the experience much more meaningful than just sightseeing.
He made sure I was comfortable and answered all my questions—it truly felt like exploring the city with a knowledgeable friend rather than just a guide.
In a short amount of time, I was able to see so much of Colombo in a way that would have been difficult to do on my own. I learned a lot and left with a deeper appreciation for the city and its culture. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting!

Easy going, flexible, educational, with some snacks and lunch included. Friendly tour guide knowing shortcuts and amenities.
Patty_T, Mar 2026
Mr. Ramesh took great care to show us key points of interest during our Tuk Tuk tour. The tour was a great way to see Colombo using this mode of transportation. We had a great time enjoying the ride, seeing the sights, eating a fabulous dinner and learning more of the culture and history of Sri Lanka. Mr. Ramesh returned us back to our cruise ship safely.

Kisho was both a great driver and informative guide. Thoroughly recommend, a great Sri Lankan experience.
Claire_M, Mar 2026
We had a terrific time seeing all of the sights and learning about Columbo with Ricky. He is an outstanding Tuk Tuk driver - flexible, beautiful English and a great Ambassador, sharing with us the best of Sri Lanka.
We so enjoyed our tour and his knowledge and gentle, kind manner, we asked for him a second day and saw everything we wanted to see. We couldn't have done it all so successfully without Ricky. Highly recommend him and this tour, it's THE way to see the city!

Sanjay provided a wonderful tour. Zipping through traffic is exciting and we were able to see all the sights. Eating with the locals was a real treat .

The Colombo Tuk Tuk City Tour – Sightseeing, Entry Fees & Food Included was a fantastic way to experience Colombo in a short amount of time. Travelling by tuk tuk made the tour fun, flexible, and immersive, allowing us to move easily through busy streets and local neighbourhoods that would be difficult to experience by car.
The itinerary covered a good mix of cultural, historical, and everyday city life. Highlights included visits to Gangaramaya Temple, Independence Square, and the lively Pettah Market area. Entry fees were included, which made the experience very smooth and stress free.
My driver were friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the tour, sharing interesting insights about Colombo’s history, culture, and daily life while ensuring we were comfortable at all times. The pace was well balanced, with plenty of opportunities for photos and questions without feeling rushed.
Overall, this tour offered excellent value and a truly local perspective of Colombo. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city for the first time or to travellers who want a fun, informative, and memorable introduction to Sri Lanka’s capital.

Whistle stop tour of all the main landmarks with a bit of extra depth on others.
Tea tasting was excellent
Water provided throughout
Nancy_F, Feb 2026
Our tour guide was Mr. Caviar. He drove us around the busy streets of Colombo. He was patient but was open to us moving onto the next location when we wanted to. We are quick tourists who don't like to take a lot of time with picture taking and "hanging around". He showed us the shrine, a temple and several of the local sites. He took us to a tea shop where they showed us various teas and spices. That was nice and unexpected. He walked us around a couple of markets which was interesting to experience. Overall, it was a good tour and we got to see the Sri Lankan life first hand.
Kadie_D, Feb 2026
We had a great afternoon; the guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. The food we had was delicious.
Edward_A, Feb 2026
We had three couples and each had their own Tuk Tuk. We followed each other to each stop. Every driver was fabulous and personable which made the entire experience so much fun! At each stop they shared stories and history. While you might be able to book a cheaper ride on the spot this was amazing and worth every penny! Highly Recommend!!!!!!!!
