Discover the Essence of Colombo
Let us guide you through the vibrant life of Colombo, a city shaped by centuries of multicultural influence. Throughout history, Arab and Chinese traders, along with European colonial powers such as the Portuguese, Dutch, and British, have all left their mark on this remarkable city. Their presence has created a unique blend of architectural, social, and economic heritage that still defines Colombo today.
Stories of legendary treasures once attracted explorers and invaders to its shores, yet many secrets of the city still remain to be discovered. Join us on a safe and fascinating journey as we reveal Colombo’s hidden gems—including one of the very few remaining sections of the historic Fort walls that can still be seen in Colombo today.

What To Expect
Get down and walk a little bit, witness Old Lighthouse and the clock tower, (dual Purpose Completed in 1857 as a clock tower, it took on the additional role of a lighthouse in 1867 when a navigational light was moved to the structure). Presidents' House, Old Post Office Building, Prison Cell of Kanyan King, Duych Hospital. Twin Towers, Akasa Kade.
Pettah
And next to the Fort, the bustling market of Pettah, its' craziness for struggling for survival, and hard-working people selling various goods in narrow cross streets, and yet an iconic Islamic Mosque stands proudly on this busy main street, former Kings' street said to have filled the stream by English Rule from the Fort to Keymen Gate, the entrance way from the North Eastern side of the Fort.

Genuine cultural immersion rather than typical tourist experience

5.00Best and accessible your guide. You can really experience many subtle cultural nuances that you would miss on your own unless 3x time spent in Sri Lanka. Like a knowledgeable friend showing you their hometown.
A great tour of Colombo by a knowledgeable guide

5.00We decided in advance to do a tour by a local guide as we'd done others before. The ship prices were expensive and we would have been part of a large group. Suneth met us at the Grand Oriental Hotel to start our 2 hr tour of the city. . He picked us up in a clean, airconditioned car which was great for travelling to places further away. He sent an itinerary which we could have modified but all his recommendations were great and they matched the tour offered by the ship but at a more competitive price. He gave a commentary on each place of interest . We saw all the places we had asked for. The tour ended early as it was a Sunday but Suneth was apologetic and was prepared to continue to other places but we were happy to finish. He is an experienced guide and comes fully recommended. Thanks Suneth. (Tour was in January 2020 but TripAdvisor will only allow me to select back to 2021)
