Great tour. Thanks Dinuka!! - We had an amazing tour around Colombo with Dinuka. He arrived at our hotel exactly on time and had plenty of chilled water for us. The tuk tuk was in great condition and we felt comfortable in it. Dinuka has so much knowledge of the city and took us to some really great spots. He even asked if there was anything we wanted to see and he made sure to fit it in the tour. We finished it all off with a delicious lunch at a local restaurant. I would highly recommend Dinuka to anyone wanting a great tour of Colombo.

A pleasant tour - I was alone and I booked this tour to visit Colombo when I arrived, to spend the time until my hotel check-in.
It was a great experience, better than I expected.Â
Dinuka is very friendly, kind and professional. He let me see a lot of places in a short time.
I definitely recommend it!

Awesome city tour - This tour is everything the reviews state. Dinuka is an amazing advocate for his country sharing so much information and various sights with us while ensuring we were comfortable along the way. The lunch was delicious and a great way to introduce us to various traditional items of his cuisine. Even with rush hour traffic we always felt safe with his driving and wish to thank you for all that you did.

Great start to our Sri Lankan adventure! - Would highly recommend this tour! Dinuka was great to communicate with to arrange, our flight was delayed and he changed timings to accommodate us. We ended up doing the night tour instead- what a great experience! Dinuka was knowledgeable and friendly. Dinner was some delicious street food in a busy area. We visited many beautiful temples. A great way to start our Sri Lanka adventure 😀

Great day! - We had such a great day! Our guide Dinuka was very knowledgeable and friendly and made sure we were very comfortable. He had cold water for us and cold wash cloths to cool down! It took just under 4 hours and a meal was included (which was delish). Highly recommend!!!

Colombo with Dinuka !! Superb - This is a must if you are in Colombo and Dinuka is brilliant! Knowledgeable and a fantastic way to spend 4 hours.
Colombo is a crazy driving experience and it’s not for the faint hearted.
We saw every part of Colombo and the lunch stop at the Curry pot was lovely and obviously a local favourite. Very busy!

Great day trip - I had a great tuk tuk trip in Colombo. He sent me the photo of him in any case, so I could find him easily in frount of the station. His guide was easy to understand for foreigners. I could see a lot of traditional temples and buildings, and He showed me busy areas too. At last, I had local foods for dinner. Those are good expriences in Colombo.
