About
This half-day food tour through Colombo gives the opportunity to try a large range of the authentic street food that very few tourists ever get the chance to try.
Wander around the Pettah Market while drinking one of the famous king coconut drinks! Discover what makes the Sri Lankan hopper so special all around the world.
Enjoy explosive fiery flavor of spicy symbols and the fun deliciousness of red and white rice string hoppers. Turn your attention to the complex flavors of fruit chutneys and Sri Lankan pickles. Inhale the aroma at a cassava chip stall as crunch your way through them. Enjoy a cup of tea with a nice fresh samosa - a triangular pastry filled with savory goodness. Try some of Sri Lanka’s more exotic fruits.
After a walk around the Old Town Hall Market, go for a more filling meal. You will have the choice of selecting a packet of lump-rice or lamp rice as some of the food stalls advertise, or a giant plate of the much spoken about koththu Rotti.

- Achavan0 contributionsHelpful if on a time crunchNicely arranged, well spoken driver/guide. Took about 2.5 hours overall including stop for meal. I’m glad I took this tour, as I was on a time crunch and had no time to plan.Written August 27, 2024
- 605tharushad0 contributionsGreat tour. Thanks Bob Marley!!!We had an amazing tour around Colombo with bob. He arrived at our hotel exactly on time and had plenty of chilled water for us. The tuk tuk was in great condition and we felt comfortable in it. Bob has so much knowledge of the city and took us to some really great spots. He even asked if there was anything we wanted to see and he made sure to fit it in the tour. We finished it all off with a delicious lunch at a local restaurant. I would highly recommend bob to anyone wanting a great tour of Colombo.Written August 20, 2024

- 100supund0 contributionsGreat introduction to Colombo and welcome to Sri LankaGreat introduction to Colombo and welcome to Sri Lanka We wanted an introduction to Colombo before we joined a G Adventures trip the following day. Bob and his tuk-tuk tour of Colombo fitted the bill perfectly. A prompt pick up from our hotel, then great navigation and knowledge of his town plus a lovely lunch at the end of the tour provided an entertaining morning. Bob was then happy to drop us back to the mall for some shopping. Thoroughly recommend.Written February 14, 2024

- goldenerag0 contributionsWow, wow ,way to see ColomboWe loved our tuk tuk safari around Colomo, led by "Bob Marley" and his sidekick. Great value for money, the restaurant chosen for lunch was delicious and even the rain didn't dampen the fun of careening around the streets! The enthusiasm of the staff as well as the added extras (a cooler full of beer!) make this a must-book tour for allWritten February 2, 2022

Driver Bobby was a nice guy and safe driver. Unfortunately, we did nothing of what was in the tour description. An ad-hoc tour to shops to buy tea and coffee (friends shop?). Did not walk around markets or try string hoppers or cassava chips.
We looked at some city highlights, had tasty egg hoppers and fruit Salad but ended with uninspiring kottu in dodgy restaurant.
Reasonable tour but not at all what was described. A bit disappointed we booked a tour that we didn't get.

We had a great time on the food tour of Colombo. It was a good opportunity to also tick off some sightseeing. We were so full by the end of it but were able to takeaway the food and have it later! Bob was a great host :)
