Great tours for short term travelers! - Caviar was a good and accomodating guide who knows a lot about his city, culture, and history. He was able to meet my needs as a solo traveler. We saw a lot in a very short time! I recommend this tour to anyone who isn't in Sri Lanka for long.

Compact tour for the most important things in Colombo - Ricky took excellent care of us. He was super friendly, has responded to our wishes and has always inquired if everything is okay. He showed us a lot and also explained a lot. In the temple he could give us a lot of background information that we would never have got without the tour. He had a really good driving style for a tuk driver and his English was very easy to understand. Highly recommended !

Our guide Caviar - We had a wonderful 4 hour tour of Colombo. Our guide was super punctual, friendly and took a lot of time for us. The journey in a tuk tuk through the busy city is simply an experience. Eating in the local restaurant with a view of the sea was a highlight! Any time!

Good tour - Our guide, Caviar, was very kind and taught us a lot of things in English. He was kind to strangers and his good nature was evident. Personally, I was impressed by the old Hindu temple and the local vegetable market. I am grateful that it was good sightseeing in Colombo.

Great Tour - We had two tuk tuks as we were traveling as a family with two three year olds and my mother. The tour was perfect in length (half a day) and Colombo doesn't have more input to offer. We saw temples, mosques and churches. Now I know more about tea and local food. Super nice driver and guide!

Amazing experience - Ricky was my tuk tuk driver. He drove very politely and with foresight and I felt safe at all times. He put a lot of effort into choosing the program and spontaneously adapted it to my wishes. He took the time to explain the facts and background to all the attractions to me in detail and we were also able to talk and discuss everything else because he speaks very good English. Overall, the four hours were very worth it for this price and I can only recommend Ricky to everyone!
