Half day tour of Negombo

Shiranthi_J, Dec 2025
The tour was customizable, we wanted to see the churches however, due to events it was not possible. The fish market was interesting, recommend sneakers or covered shoes. .

Poor value

LRory_E, Jul 2025
Despite an excellent and knowledgeable guide and super transport, this trip was a big disappointment. There is not actually that much to see in Nagombo and that which there is disappoints. The whole trip took less than 3 hours, half of which was driving to and from Nagombo. It is advertised as 6 hours!! Very poor value for money
