Tuk Tuk Tour is Terrific - We had a kind, professional and attentive driver. I highly recommend this tour. Our itinerary took us to all of the highlights. We especially enjoyed the temples. And it was wonderful taking a tour of Colombo in a Tuk Tuk. Definitely try this if you are in Colombo.

Last minute Tuk Tuk tour - I booked this late on a Friday night for the following morning, and the communications worked well and my driver, Feros, was in contact early so I was reassured of the booking. The tour was fun! Tuk Tuk travel is like nothing else, and it’s amazing how it all works. Feros was very knowledgeable and attentive to my needs as a first timer in Colombo, and he took care of all aspects of the activity. He took me to each of the major sightseeing attractions and as I was a single traveller he kindly took photos of me in a various locations and sent them later via WhatsApp. This was very helpful and has allowed me to share my experience with family and friends. The tour ended, as with all these tours, with visits to shops where goods were demonstrated in the hope that I would buy. There was not, however, a very hard sell, which was a better experience than I have had before. I was dropped back at my starting point some 3 1/2 hours or so later, better for my experience!

Exceptional Service in a Busy City - What an absolute tour we had! I have no words to thank this company and Aashik who accompanied us with all our requirements regarding the tour in Colombo and Aashik planned everything and arranged us a tuk tuk to sightsee the busy hustling city. We visited Local Markets, famous Temples and Gem Shops for purchasing. Our Guide was perfectly handling us being flexible with all our requirements and making sure that we are comfortable. His english was so fluent and his guiding is very clear. Thanks to Kingfisher and Aashik for this tour. We will definitely come back and visit this country on a round tour soon

Beautiful tour, great service, great people! - My friend and I elected this tour before arriving. The day before, we noticed we booked the wrong date! Not only did the owner help us reorganise the tour promptly, he also ensured we could both afford it and that we had the best service possible. Our tour guide Farahmasi was super lovely and knowledgable. He arrived promptly and offered us many services outside of the tour inclusions! Near the conclusion of our trip he also offered to drive us to Hikkaduwa for a great price! Not only did we have a lovely tour, but we had a lovely day travelling and meeting locals along the way! We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and service offered by the company, the personable nature of staff and owner and the prices! Highly recommend! - Georgia (Australia)

Good overview. Too much shopping trap. - Our trip was enjoyable. Our guide and driver were pleasant and knowledgeable of the city. They tried hard to take care of us. Only complaint was that too much of the tour was dropping us off at a tea shop and a gem store that they said was a museum but it was just at store with very persistent salesmen. We got good pictures at highlight spots. Booking with Viator was good. When we had confusion on pickup spot tour company answered the phone and worked it out.

Not what I signed up for - Not what was advertised. The tour guide left me with the driver about 5 minutes into the tour. The driver drove me around to a couple sites…not sure what we were passing because there wasn’t any information about the locations. The gem museum and tea shop were just tourist traps with high pressure sales. Then the driver dropped me off at the hotel after 2 hours and didn’t take me to the most interesting stop on the itinerary. But I bought the driver a coconut so we enjoyed that together. All in all it felt like a scam. I would not use this company.

Poor customer service - I booked about $1000.00 in tours this trip with Viator. Had to cancel this tour because our ship arrived very late & all of our scheduling needed to be changed.I gave King fisher tours 20 hrs notice & not 24 because we were on the ocean with no internet or calling ability. They refused to give a refund based on their 24 hour notice. HOW INFLEXIBLE ARE THEY? 4 hours !!!!! I have tried to speak to a CSR to no avail. Everyone is at a call center in the PHillipines with a scripted response. I am very frustrated & can't imagine we have NO USA management to address this issue!!!!!
