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.

Blaze is the best tuk tuk tour guide in Colombo! - It was great to have Blaze there waiting for us amidst a sea of tuk tuk drivers! The tour was great. He gave us lots of local history and insight into life in Colombo and took us to so many important sights as well as opportunities for shopping. We also got a free coconut drink! A brilliant tour ! He’s such a lovely guy too! Would thoroughly recommend.

Awesome tour - It was a pleasure to travel with blaze. He showed us all the hotspots and lot more of Colombo. Everything was explained quite well. The Tuktuk is the coolest one we saw in Sri Lanka. If we will come back to Colombo we definitely would book a tour with blaze again.

Great tour and guide for Colombo - We booked the Tuk Tuk Safari because we wanted something different from the typical car tour. What a blast! We got a truly unique perspective of Colombo as we wove through traffic in our expertly driven tuk tuks! We were able to stop by many of Colombo's key sights - the Lotus Tower, the Lighthouse, the Bell Tower, historical buildings, Independence Square, Buddhist and Hindu temples over the half-day of our tour - and had no trouble parking close to these sights (unlike the tour buses!). Blaze provided interesting commentary on living in Colombo and Sri Lankan history as we rode from place to place. And he took us to a nice souvenir shop (not on the official itinerary) and found us a good place to eat lunch (also an extra!).

Best Tuk Tuk Tour and Guide ever! - We had a one day stopp in Colombo with our cruise ship and wanted to make the most of our limited time in this beautiful city. For us it was very important to be independent and go with our own scedule since we have two kids. Blaze was very well prepared and we felt comfortable with booking him from the first second. Although our Shuttle Bus dropped us at the wrong place and it took us very long to get to our meeting point, Blaze was paciently waiting for us and welcoming us with a big smile. We had a great day and we’ve seen all the places we wanted to see! Blaze just gave us so much information about the history and importance of all the sights and we really had fun during the Tuk Tuk Safari and enjoyed authentic lokal food together! Last but not least -> the kids loved him (and they are picky :P) ! We can recommend his tour 100%! Thank you so much for making this day special for us!

Five Star Experience…The Best Day - My husband and I could not have had a better day yesterday! Blaze has beautiful English, and knows a lot about the recent and longer term history of Colombo. He shared many real life stories with us that were very memorable. He took us to the major sites within the area, including the colonial sites. He then he took us to a gem dealer where we learned a lot about the sapphires and other precious and semi precious stones that are mined in the mountains of Sri Lanka. This was a very interesting experience, and we enjoyed our conversations with the owners of the store and bought some beautiful necklace pendants for our granddaughters. After this, he took us to a Ceylon tea store where we thoroughly enjoyed tasting a number of different teas, learning about them, and how they are processed in Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka is one of the big tea exporters in the world. The tea was absolutely amazing. While we were involved in the tea tasting, Blaze called a store to enable us to be able to get a couple of cricket jerseys for our grandsons. He truly got it all done for us and it was a great great day. We could not recommend this tour and Blaze more highly. Blaze also communicated with us days in advance of the tour so that we felt prepared for the meeting place, etc. All went smoothly from start to finish.
