Discover Colombo by tuk tuk - Blaze picked us up and we saw Colombo in a very comfortable way in his specially-made tuk tuk.for tours like this. He is very knowledgeable about the city and history of Colombo. I learned many things today. Very interesting. Going on a private tour also allows you to change the itinerary, if you want. Originally, I wanted to do a cycling tour, but with the trafficw, I was happy we did book the tuk tuk tour. I can recommend Blaze and this tour to everyone.

Safe friendly city tour for solo female traveller - My guide blaze was amazing. Was in contact with me the day before my tour to arrange pick up. He was always in touch with me as I was travelling up from southern Sri Lanka. His Tuk Tuk is amazing reminds me of a carraige, so much fun. We went to all the places stated on the itinerary and Blaze was very knowledgable and enjoyed telling me all about his country. He did everything I asked of including going up the lotus tower, and finding me some amazing local food. I am a volunteer from south Sri Lanka and was on my way for my flight home. As a solo female traveller I felt very safe and looked after which means a lot. I would highly recommend this local friendly guide to anyone wanting to get the best out of an afternoon in Colombo. If you need anything just ask and it will be accommodated. Well earned five stars thank you!

Friendly guy showing Colombo in a realxed way - I booked the 4 hour tour of Colombo the day before. I was picked up from the hotel on time and brought back after the tour. Blaze drives relaxed and safely through the city. He explains the sightseeing points and also the recent history of the city. I spent a very pleasant and entertaining time with Blaze, who tells the story well - not too much, not too little. Compliments, a clear recommendation.
