5.00We had a great time travelling around in the Jeep and visiting places we couldn't have found on our own. Manju our guide was brilliant. Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He was a pleasure to be with.

5.00We had an amazing 4-hour tour of Colombo with Manju as our driver and guide. From start to finish, everything was professional and well-organised. Viator kept us informed with helpful WhatsApp messages leading up to the tour, and the pick-up/drop-off from our hotel in the suburbs was very convenient. The tour itself was a fantastic way to see the city’s major landmarks without feeling rushed. Manju was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights about each site. He also took plenty of photos for us and sent them via WhatsApp afterward, which was a great touch. The war jeep added a unique and fun element to the experience, and the cool boxes stocked with beer and soft drinks were much appreciated in the Colombo heat! Overall, this tour was excellent value for money and a perfect way to get an overview of the city before exploring the rest of Sri Lanka. Highly recommended!"

5.00An amazing experience with an amazing guide Nishantha. Saw the tour originally through Instagram & loved the novelty of it. Driving around Colombo in the old Jeep was an experience I’ll never forget. In the open air it felt like we were right amongst all the action & hustle & bustle of the city. Our guide was very knowledgeable & made the tour! He looked after us so well. They are not lying about the free flow drinks either! A well stocked esky was onboard with so many options! A highlight was stopping & having a fresh coconut & enjoying that as we drove along. I can’t imagine seeing Colombo any other way! Highly recommend the tour!

5.00Oh my goodness, this was one of our best tours on our vacation. We felt like the queens of Sri Lanka being escorted by Nish around Colombo. We saw the beautiful city, temples, beaches, and of course shopping. We were on a cruise and Nish picked us up at the dock. His company made sure we were taking care of.
Best and Most Fun Way to Understand and Visit Great Colombo !

5.00We were amazed by the in depth knowledge and friendly nature from the folks at Jeep tour Colombo. We had the vintage Range Rover which was great fun on its own, the tour covers historical Dutch and English landmarks, as well as visits to the old city and some great street food ! The gentleman who runs Jeep Tours is Nishantha, he is veryw ell spoken, friendly and goes out of his way to make sure you have a great day (and visit overall). Would not look any further, this is the one to do !
