“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%”
