The driver/guide who came to pick us did not bother to look for us in the foyer of the hotel. We had to go and ask him if he was waiting for someone. He had very little English- very hard to communicate with him. We don't think he had good knowledge of the city. Many places he was going in circles and asking other people on the street for directions. Showed us only 3 places in all the time we were with him. It was total waste of our time and money. Extremely disappointed. We feel Viator should refund part of the money paid.

Dear Guest
I am extremely concerned about the review of your dissatisfaction on the city tour. It was at the last minute that I was not able to participate as I was taken ill suddenly witha viral fever and as I did not want to dissapoint you canceling the tour I sent one of the drivers in the pool. I apologise on behalf of him for dissapointing you on this tour.
Hope you will understand the situation.
Thank you
Kind regards

This was a great tour around the sites of Colombo. Some were drive pasts because of positioning,but this was mentioned in the itinerary. Time at each location was perfect. My guide arrived on time and was very informative. He also asked if there was anywhere else I wanted to visit. I would recommend this trip as an onsite to the main attractions in colombo
