Taste of SriLanka

Apo_O, Apr 2024
We had a great tour with Nim for a few hours, starting with delicious snacks and continuing with great food, tea, and drinks at the end. It was not only the food but also the conversation that made it a unique experience. Highly recommended tour.

Loved this food and city tour

Great city tour and food tastings along the way with our guide Nim. We loved trying all of the local specialities, and it was great to learn about the foods from an experienced local foodie. Nim was super personable and knowledgeable, and he made the day extra fun and enjoyable. It was also nice being able to walk some and take tuk tuks when needed to get to a variety of areas around the city. We had a much better understanding of Colombo and Sri Lankan food after this tour. We highly recommend it.

Local food tour

The tour was like meeting a friend in his home town and them taking you on a food tour of their home town. We both enjoyed everything. Very local, very good.

Excellent Tour
