Fun and interesting tour! - I loved this tour. I'm travelling solo and had one day to discover Negombo. This is an excellent choice, because he can tell you a lot about the history, takes pictures of you and you get enough time for each part of the tour. Fun way to spend your time!

Amazing - Went on the tour around midday with Nishan and it was amazing! I learnt so much about the three different religions found here in sri lanka and nishan was great at explaining the history of everything to me as well. I particularly enjoyed the fish market as the process of how they catch and process all the fish was fascinating and the smell wasn’t as bad as i thought! The herbal garden and Buddhist temple were also a big highlight 😁 10/10 would recommend doing if your a traveler looking to explore and learn about the area
