“I cannot recommend Ricky highly enough-he is an absolutely brilliant and knowledgeable guide! The tour of Colombo was fantastic; we managed to cover all the important sites and immerse ourselves in the local markets, which was exactly what I wanted. As a female traveler exploring the city alone, safety was a priority, and I was hesitant to venture deep into the bustling markets by myself. Ricky immediately put all my concerns at ease.

We had tried Sri lankan food back in the UK and it was great to eat in Sri lanka. Thank you Nawfer. He found a less crowded place for tea tasting which was appreciated.
