Interesting city to explore - The traffic was terrible but our driver did a good job maneuvering the Tuk Tuk through the city. The exhaust fumes were a bit much but that's just the city. We visited 2 Hindu Temples and 1 Buddhist Temple. The driver asked us where we wanted to go and took us to all the important places.

Brilliant trip out - Ronnie was a great guide, friendly, professional and punctual. We had great communication from the moment we booked which gave us confidence. He took us to some amazing sights, came inside places to show us around and did not rush us. He treated us to a tasty coconut too!
Thanks for a great morning Ronnie 😀

Excellent Trip - Ronnie our driver was waiting for us with a big smile on his face. He brought the tuk tuk to us and we clambered in. He made sure we were comfortable and asked what we wanted to see. We asked to see the highlights and we weren’t disappointed. He explained what we were passing by on our way to the first stop which was a beautiful Catholic Church then on to beautiful and very colourful temples. He walked around with us again explaining what we were looking at, its history and what things meant to the local people. Ronnie dropped us off at a large, air conditioned mall where we had a lovely coffee and snack. After an hour he picked us up and we went back to the shop.
He was such a skilful driver negotiating his way through the very hectic, busy roads.
We really had a great time - thank you.

A Fun Ride Through Colombo - We were met outside the port by our driver and cricketing supremo CM. We clambered aboard, and off we set for a fascinating tour of Colombo. As we were weaving through the somewhat chaotic traffic and going down narrow streets full of colourful stalls and shops, CM was pointing out al manner of points of interest. CM stopped off and bought us coconut to drink as well as water and helped us take some wonderful photos. When our tour came to and end, it was starting to rain and CM brought out an umbrella to escort us back to the port entrance. All in all a wonderful experience and a huge thanks to CM for such a wonderful time

Our tuktuk driver Raja made the tour very special and interesting. - We absolutely loved our tuktuk driver Raja. We booked the tour for the evening hour, and half way through it started pouring down and got quickly dark. Raja offered to postpone half of the tour to the next morning when the weather was better. So he met us again next morning to continue the tour. Raja also gave us suggestions of authentic eateries in Colombo and told us stories about the temples we visited. He was very kind and wanted to make sure we were having a great time in Colombo given the weather conditions during our very short visit.
The tour itself is very interesting. Altogether 10 sights to visit. However, I think the lotus tower is a good place to visit on your own, not part of the tour. I would like to spend more time by the beach, cause it looked more interesting.

The Beat Way to See Colombo - The renovation of the Catholic Church after the bomb attack!
The tuk tuk driver, Raj, was very helpful, explaining any points that needed explaining.
