“Really fantastic tour of Colombo city, we had 5 hours of sightseeing with Starlin who was so knowledgeable and couldn't do enough to please. Visited places we would never have known about and learned a lot about the history and culture of Sri Lanka. We are both in our 60s so felt very safe with Starlin, his driving was excellent and his tuk tuk was spotlessly clean. Oh, and he is a wonderful photographer, he took lots of photos for us and even gave us tips on how to use our phone cameras! Would recommend him 100%”

“We have booked a Colombo City and requested a pickup from a hotel in Kalutara which is an hour away from Colombo. Booked via Viator, confirmed and payment ongoing, no answer has been given to the request to be picked up in Kalutara. One day before I needed to contact them by myself to get this confirmed and which price it would cost for that extra service. The driver was waiting for us on time in front of the hotel, arriving in CMB we picked up our guide Althaaf and started our tour. Unfortunately the guide was on the phone 90% of the time he spent with us. Few explanations…”
