Colombo City Tour
The name "Colombo", first introduced by the Portuguese in 1505, is believed to be derived from the classical Sinhalese name Kolon thota, meaning "port on the river Kelani". It has also been suggested that the name may be derived from the Sinhalese name Kola-amba-thota which means "Harbour with leafy mango trees". Due to its large harbour and its strategic position along the East-West sea trade routes, Colombo was known to ancient traders 2,000 years ago. However it was only made the capital of the island when Sri Lanka was ceded to the British Empire in 1815, and its status as capital was retained when the nation became independent in 1948. In 1978, when administrative functions were moved to Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte, Colombo was designated as the commercial capital of Sri Lanka.

South Lanka tours MADE OUR HOLIDAY. We spent two weeks travelling the country which was made easy and stress free with the help and guidance of Udura. They went above and beyond to make our holiday extra special. Suggesting stop offs along they way, taking us to food markets, view points, spice gardens, teaching us about the country and having a laugh along the way. Nothing was too much trouble and there was a perfect balance between being on hand and allowing us to enjoy our holiday. Worth every penny. So lucky we found them. Will recommend to all our friends and family.…

We spent 2 weeks travelling across Sri Lanka and Udara was a brilliant guy to assist us with our holiday. He arranged all our transfers as we moved from place to place, informed us, enlightened us, entertained us and added extra stops to our itinerary as he grew to know us and what we might like to see or do. He bought food for us to try, suggested restaurants, haggled for things on our behalf, advised us, kept 2 crates of water for us in his car and even gave us lovely gifts to celebrate us getting engaged during our visit to Sigiriya. His knowledge seemed second to none and his reputation obviously helped us see and do things that we’d have missed out on had he not been there. His English is very good (shame on us, our Singhalese is non-existent), his car is clean and comfortable and he’s a friendly, charming, punctual guy. Top marks. Thanks mate. You made our holiday really special.…

Sri Lanka was our last stop on our 3 month honeymoon, and South Lanka tours did an amazing job of making our trip extra special. Udara was super friendly and funny on our car journeys. He was also quite knowledgeable and answered any questions we had about Sri Lanka. Udara was very accommodating when we wanted to tweak our itinerary. All of our accommodation which was organised by South Lanka Tours was to our liking and the car was comfortable and clean to be driven in. Udara was always happy to stop by the side of the road if we wanted to get a street snack or drink. We couldn’t have had a better ending to our honeymoon. Thank you Udara, would definitely recommend South Lanka Tours to anyone wanting to visit this beautiful country. …
