Great customer service - We arranged the Tuk Tuk tour through WhatsApp, and the booking process was seamless. Ricky, our guide, provided an incredible experience.

Excellent Tour with a very knowledgeable guide - We have just returned from an excellent 4 hour tour around Columbo. There was an initial problem with our booking which was sorted out following a telephone call to the local number provided. As a result, our trip commenced an hour later than booked. Our guide Ricci however was wonderful and the tour was comprehensive and very interesting. We had great local food for lunch and we felt very well looked after. Ricci is highly recommended. Thanks for a great afternoon 😀

Exciting Tpur with the Tuk Tuk - Today we had a mega exciting sightseeing tour with Caviar and Mohammed by tuk tuk. The two were super nice . We were able to learn a lot about Colombo and were in the middle of the traffic tumult of Colombo. And at the end there was a typical food. WIr 4 can definitely recommend the tour with Lenin. Thank you for the exciting day.

Hassle- Free - Glad that I booked a Colombo tour that comes with lots of inclusions in the tour package. It was less hassle because they took care of everything for me. I wouldn’t need to go through the hassle of finding restos to eat because meals were already provided. We went to many beautiful places around Colombo, and the nicest stop for me was the Temples. It was serene and depicted rich Sri Lankan traditions. Shopping around Manning market also feels safe because I have our tour guides with me. They are knowledgeable and have the best and trusted suggestions. Booking a tour with them was the nicest trip decision for me.

Wonderful Half Day Colombo City Tour (despite the rain!) - The half day Colombo City Tour with Mr Ricky was wonderful. The sights were awesome and I really appreciated Mr Ricky's commentary and enthusiasm for his home city. It was raining quite heavily, but Mr Ricky made sure I could still enjoy the sights by pulling side-flaps of the tuk tuk and holding an umbrella over me while I got in and out and took photos. I am very glad I did this tour and highly recommend it.

We regret booking this tour - Sadly, the tour didn’t meet my expectations. The guide’s English was hard to understand, and the ride was uncomfortable and noisy. The stops were too quick, and we didn’t have enough time to enjoy any of the sights.
