It highlights the social and political elements of Sri Lanka, from the creation of the modern state to the current times. We’ll address both historical and current events from a balanced & non-biased point of view to help you determine your views of this land for yourself.

Politics and economics Sri Lanka 101

5.00If you want to know about the more recent history of Sri Lanka as well as some economic and political background while wandering through some of the Colombo sites (independence square, the convention centre, world trade centre etc) then give this tour a go. You’ll see the sights as well as learn something. Chami is very well informed.
Highly recommend!!

5.00Chami is a brilliant guide, full of intellect and passion. Chami not only shares her incredible wealth of knowledge but also her insights and ideas for change. You come away from this tour, not only with information about Sri Lanka’s social and political history, but also a deeper understanding of geopolitics, power, resistance and ideas for a better future.
A different kind of tour, and fascinating.

5.00This is an excellent walking tour. Chami is extremely knowledgeable, efficient and a good communicator. Highly recommended for a different tour to the regular walking or tuk tuk tours in Colombo.
Great experience
