Colombo city tour

5.00Booked a half-day city tour with Sri Rides for 17 people on business trip. The tour was well-organized, with thoughtful communication in advance for the group’s food preferences and arrangement air-conditioned bus. The tour guide was considerate, friendly and helpful. Highly recommended for a short visit in Colombo.
Unprofessional and inappropriate behavior by the founder of this tour comapny. Ladies beware.

1.00Ladies beware of Joshua Dilan of Sri Rides Tours & Travels as he is dangerous. After my tour he reached out to remind me to write a review as well as send me a couple of pics that my guide, David, took. He then proceeded to make inappropriate comments to me via whatsapp! I am deeply offended, disgusted and now I feel unsafe here as he knows where I am staying and what I look like.
Good tour covering a lot of ground

4.00I had a really good experience with my guide, David, who picked me up from Mount Lavinia, then negotiated the Colombo traffic safely and efficiently. He was keen to explain a lot about the landmarks we saw along the way, and about Sri Lanka generally too. There were not as many food stops as I was expecting - coconut drink, then seafood street food snack at Galle Face Green soon after, then no more food stops until 2.5 hours after I was picked up, when I had a substantial kottu dish. After this we - or rather I - was deposited in a gem store, which I was not expecting and was not on the advertised itinerary. The store staff - i guess for security reasons - then locked the door after I had entered, basically locking me in! I will make it clear that there were no high-pressure sales tactics or anything like that, but i still found it weird to be dropped into an unadvertised gem stop and into a locked room! Something to bear in mind. The last stop was at a tea store testing, which was interesting, with a knowledgable and very friendly and polite guy setting out the teas.
A great intro to Colombo life

5.00I came down to Sri Lanka for holidays with one of my friends from Nepal. We wanted a round trip in Colombo and I’m glad I made the right choice by choosing Colombo Tuk Tuk Adventures. The guide had so much knowledge about the city and no one could’ve explained it better. Truly a very good experience and the hospitality was at top notch. Great selection of Food. It’s good to be back home witnessing the Rich Beauty of Colombo. I would highly recommend Colombo Tuk Tuk Adventures.
