We were done in less than 2 hours and at the airport in 2.5 hours, which is half the time of the 5 hour tour advertised. I would’ve given it a one star but since the driver was really nice, hence I gave it two stars.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for booking with us and for your feedback.
We would like to clarify that our chauffeur took you to all the locations included in the tour itinerary. However, some attractions required entry tickets, and you chose not to visit those sites. As a result, the tour duration became shorter than originally scheduled.
Since additional time was available, our chauffeur kindly offered to take you to Negombo City tour as an alternative destination, even though it is not included in this tour package. This offer was declined.
Following your request, the chauffeur then dropped you at the airport earlier than the scheduled tour end time.
We always strive to provide the best possible service and flexibility to our guests while ensuring the tour is conducted according to the agreed itinerary.

Munir was an excellent host. For a half day layover, the tour could not have gone any better. We arrived with a feeling of excitement and left with a feeling of fulfillment and a desire to come back and visit again. Munir's hospitality was unmatched. Thank you for an amazing layover tour!
