Fizar was amazing. We had a fun ride around Colombo, got to see the main Hindu and Islamic temples and also the famous Lotus Tower and other iconic spots ending in independence square. Where we ended the journey singing some songs together. It was my first time in Colombo and I had fun. Thank you Fizar.
