5.00Our lovely guide waited more than half an hour for us to find the right location (there are 2 YMA's in Colombo - stay close to Fort!). Then we roamed the streets and markets and learned about all the types of street food, which set us up for the rest of our 2 wk stay in Sri Lanka. Helpful foodie insights shared! :)

5.00Our guide was super patient and flexible with our wants and needs. It was quite hot so we wanted to take plenty of breaks, and skip certain sights, which was not an issue given the private tour. He also coordinated with our driver for a different pickup point. Offered many different foods on the route. Not super impressed with the streetfood though, overall either very spicy or fried or much added sugar to fruit shakes, but that’s personal preference. Did like the coconuts. Do recommend to get a nice impression of Colombo and the markets. Would probably choose earlier or later in the day next time to avoid the heat (we started noon)
No Show!
