Ajeet De Soyza leads a small-group Colombo walk mixing Fort landmarks, Pettah markets, temples, and seafront history for $30.
“Excellent and in depth tour from knowledgeable guide. Went to good variety of historical, cultural, and religious sites. Learned about history of Sri Lanka as well.”
Walk Negombo’s mixed heritage from a Hindu temple to Dutch-era landmarks, with markets and the fish smells of King George Drive.
“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.”
A friendly 3-hour walking tour through central Colombo, mixing major religions, local stories, and street snacks plus tropical fruit juices.
“Really enjoyed our tour! Great way to see the highlights of Colombo. Our guide Sashi was very nice and helpful. Would definitely recommend!”
Walk Negombo’s temples, churches, fish market, and lagoon with a local guide, plus possible nature time at Wasgamuwa if listed.
“I did the walking tour with Kavin and would highly recommend. Kavin gave me a great insight into Negombo and helpful tips for Sri Lanka. Thank you Kavin!”
