“Interesting in learning more about Negombo mixed cultural heritage and history. Knowledgeable guide. Unfortunately first guide was sick so replacement guide didn’t arrive 30 minutes later than arranged. It would have been good to provide overview of tour itinerary at start of tour. Also tour then didn’t include refreshments and local food as advertised.”
