This was the second time I had enjoyed a tour with Tuk Tuk Tours Sri Lanka.
This time I travelled with a friend and I wanted them to have the same great experience I'd had on my last tour in 2022.
Although it was Independence Day in Sri Lanka and some of the usual sightseeing spots were not open, we were able to see many of the great sights. Kusal is a great guide and accommodated the changes to the itinerary we had requested. He accompanied us to the top of the Lotus Tower, pointing out various interesting locations which could be seen from up there.
Being Independence Day, the streets were quiet and we were able to navigate the city easily. We really enjoyed the stop to taste a mango lassi! We also enjoyed the brief overview of Sri Lanka's long history Kusal delivered at the maritime museum.
Kusal's tours are top notch and I highly recommend you take one when visiting Colombo.

Kusal is a very attentive and competent guide. He not only shows you the usual beautiful highlights of the city, but also many beautiful hidden corners and has a few cool surprises up his sleeve. Be curious! He will also let you try some delicious local food and drinks. Kusal also knows a lot of background information about the country and gives you an excellent insight into beautiful Sri Lanka. I can highly recommend the tour with Kusal!

What an incredible journey. Touched all the cultural highlights we wanted to see and our guide was so flexible and full of useful information - some really hidden gems were also on the itinerary. We couldn’t recommend the experience highly enough.

This is definitely the best and only way to see Colombo. Kusal was a really good and knowledgeable guide who takes great care planning a good day for his customers. In just over 5 hours we saw all the sights and sampled the local life in this bustling city
Kusal greeted us with a flower garland and coconut water. We visited the Hindu Temple and then Pettah Market where we had a really good spices demo and coffee production demo. We saw all the main sights around this busy city, had a very traditional Sri Lanka buffet lunch and then a lovely Buddhist Temple visit with a museum
If you are in Colombo contact Kusal at Tuk Tuk Tours and you'll have a great day

There were 6 of us on this amazing trip and we went in convoy on 3 Tuk Tuks. A fabulous experience with the best guys who were friendly and informative. Our trip lasted 6 hours, we weren't rushed and experienced Columbo at it's best. Temples, crazy traffic, markets, fresh fruit juice shop, spice shops, complimentary lunch & a tea shop which was an amazing education on how-to brew the perfect cuppa. Cannot recommend these guides enough, they even went to the trouble of meeting us at a lovely hotel to get us away from the mayhem of scores of Tuk Tuk drivers trying to sell tours. Three very calm, very experienced, very lovely guys looked aftet us all day and dropped us off exactly where we needed to be for our coach back to our SHIP. A perfect day and one we would repeat in a heartbeat.

Kusal was an excellent guide, you will not regret booking this tour! He is friendly, professional and knowledgeable on all things Sri Lankan and the city of Colombo. He strives to provide a comfortable and scenic tour. We saw all of the highlights of Colombo and more! Despite it being a public holiday, Kusal agreed to provide the tour for me. He provided so much information about the city and history, it helped me appreciate the beautiful sights I was seeing even more. The tour started off with a complimentary fresh coconut and I even had the chance to try some local authentic food and fresh juice. This is a great tour that will let you see all major parts of the city from the seat of a comfy tuk tuk. Highly recommend, this tour was a highlight of my trip to Sri Lanka!

We recently tried the Tuk Tuk Private City Tour in Colombo during a quick cruise stop, and it was a standout experience. The all-inclusive package made it easy to explore Colombo's culture and history. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, offering interesting facts along the way. Riding in a tuk-tuk added a fun touch as we cruised through the city. The tour was flexible, letting us visit religious temples, parks, city landmarks and even a stop to enjoy a pleasant coffee tasting. The pickup point was at a hotel not far from the cruise pier, but it required a bit of a walk through the aggressive tax drivers and tour operators trying to get us to book with them.
The tuk tuk tour is a great way to make the most of a single day in Colombo. Highly recommended for cruisers looking for a unique and memorable adventure in this vibrant city.
