Join me for an unforgettable walking tour through Colombo’s vibrant Fort, where history, culture & architecture come alive. This city has been my home for nearly three decades, I’ll share its stories and secrets as only someone deeply connected to it can. I’ll guide you through 500 years — from a Portuguese-built fort to the bustling trading hub it is today. Discover how Portuguese, Dutch, and British influences shaped Colombo into the uniquely Sri Lankan city you see now
This is more than just a history lesson — it’s an experience. We’ll stroll at a relaxed pace, weaving fascinating stories with authentic Tuk Tuk rides for a taste of everyday Sri Lankan life. Together, we’ll explore the city’s heritage, uncover traditions, and look ahead to its exciting future — all while supporting a meaningful cause, as part of the proceeds go towards educating orphaned children I sponsor

5.00Great tour with Ajeet. Got to see many interesting parts of Colombo, including the port, old hotel, mosque, dutch hospital. He had great English and was very knowledgeable. He ended up dropping me 1.5 hours to my hotel in Bentota for a reasonable price. Would recommend Ajeet and the tour!
Amazing overview of Colombo history

5.00This was an amazing overview of Sri Lankan history. Sheer takes the time to set the stage with who Sri Lankans are as a people and then the walk through Colombo Fort and other areas really shows the influence of colonial history and how it shaped Sri Lankan history. Definitely recommend this experience, especially early in your Colombo visit.

5.00Our Colombo tour with Ajeet was really great, he was very informative on the culture and history of Sri Lanka. We did this tour at the beginning of our visit to the country and Ajeet made the tour relevant to this. Ajeet was interesting and engaging throughout, and went above and beyond to show us Colombo. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Colombo.
Great tour

5.00My friend and I were travelling from the U.K. and booked this walking tour with my mother (she lives in Sri Lanka). Ajeet is very knowledgeable and I learnt a lot about Colombo and the history of both the city and Sri Lanka. It was fascinating to learn more about a city I thought I knew. Great photo opportunities along the way and we discovered some hidden gems. A great introduction to Colombo!
A slow stroll with too much information

2.00Booked this ‘walking’ tour after reading great reviews, can only describe this as a slow short stroll. Only positive thing was the guide was a very polite gentleman, but provided far too much detailed information and then laboured it, just needed some oomph! After the 1st hour he had lost our attention and after 2 hours, was ready for saying we had had enough. No harm to the guide, but he would be better rebranding this as a non walking tour. Very disappointed
What a nice walk.

5.00What a nice walk. My boyfriend and I enjoyed a walk through Colombo accompanied by Ajeet. Ajeet is a source of stories and historical facts. He can tell hours about the history and evolution of Sri Lanka. For a comprehensive guide with conversations about what Sri Lanka really means, I would join Ajeet. I will definitely be back for a next time.
A tour worth taking!

5.00Tour guide had excellent knowledge regarding the history of Colombo and the present day progress the city and country has made as well as the achievements in its infrastructure. My guide was the catalyst for making this tour a great experience and something everyone should do and enjoy.
Great insight into Colombo and Sri Lanka

5.00What a fantastic walking tour and one I would highly recommend. Our guide was probably the best guide we've had for a tour like this. Communication prior to the tour was great, where he kindly recommended a restaurant which was exactly what we were looking for in terms of a local experience. On the actual tour itself we learnt so much and only had wished we'd taken the tour at the beginning of our holiday. He was patient with all our questions and really tailored the tour according to our interests and that of the others in our group. The tour was a good blend of history, current affairs and culture and he gave us a copy of his book to take a away.
