Very good tour. Our Driver/Guide Dinesh was very knowledgable and informative, a difficult job when trying to give us as much information as possible but trying to negotiate the Colombo traffic. The tour is a good introduction to the city and gives a taste for areas that could be investigated independently. One downside to tours like this, is that you are taken to shops/outlets which are presumably well known to the tour company but do not necessarily sell very good quality goods and naturally enough are keen to push sales to you. Its a real waste of time and whilst the tour includes shopping time this is not the best way to do it. Other than that, I would recommend the tour, it was good value for money and we were taken to a restaurant for lounge which was very good.

The tour was a basic tour of the city. We enjoyed it but i would recommend Galle instead.
