Guide was personable but...

Barbara_S, Apr 2026

Guide was personable but was basically a driver, not tour guide, offering little commentary. He was late for pickup with no apology. Itinerary didn’t match what was advertised, leaving out the national museum and adding some shopping sites. The mosque was already closed for the day when we arrived. I was able to see much of Colombo with all the driving around, but with little commentary to explain what I was seeing.

Disaster Colombo City Tour

Akidat_G, Oct 2025

Driver was 2 hours late. Viator blaming Tour Company and Tour Company blaming Viator. They charged me £172.00 for a half baked tour. I booked it early as we had a wedding event in the evening. F I had not contacted Viator we could have been sitting all day in the lobby. Then we get a car come but then half way they decide to change drivers so that was another half hour wasted. No water was provided on the trip and there were tiny flies in the car. Overall experience was very bad will never use this company again. We used Bentota Travel Mart and they were amazing we had one driver for 3 days and he was excellent car was very clean aircon was in very good working order. Please do not book this tour.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

We accept that there was a 30-minute delay, but not a 2-hour delay as mentioned. We informed the client in advance about the 30-minute delay, and the client accepted it. To ensure their comfort, we arranged a larger vehicle at no additional cost. The driver change did not take any extra 30 minutes, as claimed. Regarding the expressway entrance, due to standard access procedures, we had to use the normal road, which usually takes around 30 minutes. We also provided an experienced tour driver to ensure a smooth and safe journey. The main issue arose when the client requested to do only a half-day tour because they needed to attend a wedding function in the evening. They then asked for a 50% refund for the unused half day. However, we had already allocated a vehicle and driver for the full day, so a refund is not applicable. We always aim to provide our services without time limitations and with full professionalism. Therefore, we cannot agree with the client’s claims in their review, as the situation was not caused by our service
