What people are saying about Colombo
Overall rating
The guide and the driver always fulfilled our wishes. We didn't want to see any temples, but that wasn't a problem. They then changed the program for us so that it suited us. They always took our wishes into account, whether it was the supermarket, having lunch or feeding the monkeys. We also really wanted to send a postcard to our family, they organized everything (from buying postcards to sending the cards). In the evening we wanted to explore the village, so the guide came especially and picked us up and showed us the village. They made everything possible. The guide also looked after us very well so that we didn't get ripped off (because of money). The hotels were all very nice, the food was very good in every hotel. The guides always asked if everything was okay. The guide agreed an individual time with you when they should pick you up. There were no problems with picking us up from our hotel before the tour either.
The tour was perfect. The guide knows Colombo by heart and is a safe driver. Within 3 hours he shows you everything you want to see, including places that aren't overrun by tourists, and he adapts the route to suit you. The kings coconut and traditional cheese balls were delicious. You have the option to leave money everywhere, but you aren't forced to. That's why Zoomtours is definitely recommended!
I had a fantastic experience during this tour. Mr Rishad was a fantastic tour guide. I’m vegetarian but Mr Rishad picked excellent places to sample truly authentic dishes for me to try. He was also very knowledgable. I would recommend tour with Mr Rishad
we had a fantastic day filled with exciting activities. JK our Driver was incredible and Friendly.. I highly recommend this experience. Thank you JK and Team.
