Don’t normally do reviews - but in this case an exception bcs. this was really excellent. If you get Manju as your driver and you book the afternoon tour you will get a very special experience. This guy was very enthusiastic and friendly which helped to make the trip memorable.

We had a fabulous day with Nish after a very bad start due to our ship docking at the wrong terminal which resulted in us arriving very late and very hot at our designated meeting place. Once we had cooled down with a cold beer and THE most delicious prawns we were driven around Colombo. We were also taken to see his family home where we had lunch and met his charming family and saw his amazing collection of jeeps. After lunch we went on a great trip to a river bank where we saw many beautiful birds, huge Monitor lizards and buffalo after which Nish managed to get us back to the correct dock to pick up our ship. We have many happy memories of our day in Colombo but not least was getting to know just a few of the kind and hospitable people who live there. Thank you for looking after us so well Nish. You are a credit to your city.

An incredible experience, and well worth doing. We got to see the whole of colombo in one day, have a lovely lunch by the river and see everything the area had to offer. Nish was knowledgeable and tailored the tour to what we wanted to do and see, so we didnt waste time seeing parts that didnt interest us. He went above and beyond, and then helped us organise other trips during our stay, as well as giving us restaurant recommendations and information of drivers who charge a lot less than the hotels do. Would 100 recommend it to other tourists looking to do everything in a day, with a friendly guide who isnt trying to flog you stuff and make an extra buck.
