Excellent guide, full of knowledge.
Visited lots of places that we have not seen before.

A great Tuk Tuk experience, highly recommended when in Colombo!! Dinuka is a very knowledgeable and polite tour guide who can speak English well. He was very accommodating and took us to a great tea tasting place and also for food on a local street market to experience the bustling market atmosphere and food. It was good paying everything beforehand so we knew what we were getting and that we weren’t going to be asked for anything more because we are tourists. He also provided snacks along the route which was very kind. Cold bottled water is also provided.

We had such a fun time! Dinuka was prompt in picking us up from our hotel and kept us entertained for the whole tour. He was a wealth of knowledge and engaged our two teens throughout the entire tour. We very much enjoyed the local food that we ate, and all the tour locations were exactly what we hoped to see. I definitely recommend booking Dinuka’s tour!

We would highly recommend Dinuka as your tuk tuk tour guide. He is very professional and knowledgeable and attentive. Though it was a public holiday, there was less traffic but we were able to see a lot of interesting sights with less people. A good experience and value.

My driver Dinuka arrived at my hotel on time and he was very knowledgeable about all the history of Colombo, including its temples and historic architecture. He constantly checked if I was OK in the heat and the pace of out site seeing. I highly recommend him if you want a fantasice guide in Colombo. 5*

Dinuka was a great driver and tour guide. He was very nice at all times, and we felt that the tour was a good balance between learning a lot about Sri Lanka but also just enjoy the ride and the views in the city and monuments visited.

Exceptional tour of Colombo. The driver was communicative before the tour began so no stress regarding pick up or who he was. We visited the best temples and sites around Colombo, he was both informative and interesting. His explanations were in-depth. He was polite and respectful. I enjoyed a short stop for some traditional Sri Lankan street food and tea. The highlight of the tour was the Red Mosque, at sunset. Marks out of 10? 11 out of 10, as he went the extra mile so that I would enjoy the tour.

Our driver was intense in that he messaged/Whatsapp us at least 20 times before our tour over the previous 4 weeks. He turned up early and was very keen. Not a bad thing but over he top. He joined our 'private' tour with 2 other tuk tuks which was fine. His tuk tuk was a hard top so we couldn't open the top and see out easily so he switched us to one of he other tuk tuks. Very accomodating. He gave us an overview of all the places we visited. We went to the old Townhall at night which was interesting. Food we sampled was very good. Asian downpour at night so he made sure we didn't get wet which was appreciated.
Response from Host, Dec 2023
Thank you for the feedback, we are sorry to hear that our guide contacted you many times. Perhaps, he concerned with the join tour members and meeting point details. We are looking into this issue and hope to resolve it promptly.
Jon_B, Nov 2023
Dinuka, my guide, gave a real insight into the real Colombo by visiting many areas within the city. The visits to the original Town Hall was a hidden gem
Response from Host, Dec 2023
Hello, we are so happy you were a part of our tour in Colombo.

Dinuka met us at the prearranged meeting point on time and efficiently organized our tour of Colombo to maximize the experience. A great tour guide, full of information and anecdotes - we really felt that we knoew something of Colombo by the time he returned us to our ship.

This is a ‘must do’ tour especially if you have short time in Colombo. Dinuka, my tour guide for the day is knowledgeable, friendly and also he ensure my safety from the beginning of the trip till the end. He showed me the modern and local part of Colombo. You will stop by few religious places and it’s interesting to learn the mixture of religious idea. Local lunch that is provided is good too. Overall totally recommend this trip.

Unfortunately it was a public holiday so everything was closed but our tour guide Dinuka was brilliant and made it a very enjoyable afternoon. I would highly recommend this tour and advise people not to get a tuk tuk on spec.

Diunka was an amazing tour guide. He was very kind and knowledgeable. We were able to see many places and explore areas that were the real and authentic Colombo, not just tourist areas. I highly recommend Diunka and this tour, it was a wonderful experience.

Susan_S, Feb 2022
Very interesting tour. Our driver arrived at our hotel on time and happy to call at the train station so I could collect my train tickets. He then took us on a very interesting tour of Colombo, giving us time to walk round the temples and other places, telling us about the places as we walked. We stopped for street food in a very 'local' area which was extremely tasty. Can recommend this company.

We had a great time exploring Colombo on a tuk-tuk. We saw the key stops and had the most amazing lunch in an area we would not have easily found on our own. Great way to spend our day getting to know Colombo.
