Taste of SriLanka - We had a great tour with Nim for a few hours, starting with delicious snacks and continuing with great food, tea, and drinks at the end. It was not only the food but also the conversation that made it a unique experience. Highly recommended tour.

Amazing day! - Nim was an excellent guide and cooking instructor. I had an absolutely mazing experience! I’m a professional chef myself and learned about so many new techniques, spices, aromatics and traditional cooking. He was a wonderful host in his kitchen and really enjoyed learning about this beautiful country and customs. I highly recommend attending a tour and class. You won’t be disappointed!

Loved this food and city tour - Great city tour and food tastings along the way with our guide Nim. We loved trying all of the local specialities, and it was great to learn about the foods from an experienced local foodie. Nim was super personable and knowledgeable, and he made the day extra fun and enjoyable. It was also nice being able to walk some and take tuk tuks when needed to get to a variety of areas around the city. We had a much better understanding of Colombo and Sri Lankan food after this tour. We highly recommend it.

Local food tour - The tour was like meeting a friend in his home town and them taking you on a food tour of their home town. We both enjoyed everything. Very local, very good.

Best food tour!!! - Couldn’t recommend this enough- Nim was an amazing guide who was so knowledgeable about the city, the history and culture and all the food! we ate SO much there was a great variety of food. Don’t make our mistake and eat lunch before hand- there is so much food to try. We only had 2 days in Colombo and this is the best way to see it through the expertise of a local

Amazing food Tour in Colombo - If you do a tour tour in Sri Lanka look no further and book it with Rustic food Tour. It was one of the best food tours I've ever made. As I was already a few days in Sri Lanka I've tried a lot of traditional food already, so Nim (my Giude) adapted the tour and let me try food that i never had. There was no rushing, high quality places, fun conversations.

Time very well spent - Rustic food tour with guide Nim. Thoroughly recommended. There were only 3 of us so it felt very personal. The food quality was good, with a wide range of Sri Lankan dishes. Communication was excellent. We were flagging a bit towards the end as we had just arrived that morning and jet lag was kicking in .

Must do - Amazing tour! I did it with a friend and we really enjoyed eating a lot, talking a lot and learning a lot from our wonderful guide. The foods were one of the best I’ve tried on my month long trip to Sri Lanka. Nim really knows his stuff!! And I wish I had more time I would totally do this trip again. A must do!!!

Start your visit to Sri Lanka here - Great cultural experience. Num the guide part owns the business and has an in depth knowledge of Sri Lankan food an it's place in Sri Lankan history and culture. Relaxed fun and educational. Well planned starting at the fresh produce markets then to street snacks through to fairly high end. Great intro to SL.
