“Driver ( tuktuk) met us promptly after we spent the day chasing exact meeting point instructions. Our driver spoke little English, certainly not enough to be a tour guide. He asked what we wanted to do and seemed surprised we expected a food tour. Places we were taken to did not seem very hygienic or safe.

Extremely disappointed and expected much better from a GYG partner.”
Private tuk-tuk tour in Colombo mixing classic landmarks with real street food stops, guided by a driver who knows what to order, plus entry tickets.
“Mr ‘Bob Marley’, our tour guide, was 5/5, excellent. We enjoyed the mix of the tuk tuk drive, seeing sites in the city and food. The Buddhist temple was really worth viewing, as were most of the stops. The gem museum wasn’t to our taste as there was a small expectation to buy, but this was a small blip in an otherwise excellent tour.”
Every kind of day on the island, and the best of each.
