The 15 Best Things to Do in Colombo

173 tours

Fort’s colonnades, the Pettah market streets, Gangaramaya’s crowded shrine rooms and Galle Face Green at six in the evening. These are the tours that string those together properly, with prices, durations, and a note on which ones start early enough to beat both the heat and the buses.

Private 4-hour Colombo tuk tuk tour with hotel pickup, Fort and Pettah markets, tea tasting, and food included, plus key landmark stops.

“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. He provided so much history and information about every location, and his friendly, professional manner ensured I felt completely comfortable and secure throughout the entire experience. Ricky is super friendly, incredibly informative, and clearly takes great p...”

Highly recommend. Navigating Colombo on your own can be challenging, especially when you don’t have much time - having a guide helps so much!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 200 reviews · from $35

Tuk-tuk street-food tour in Colombo with 9+ tastings, hotel pickup, and local stops like cheese balls, hoppers, and tea.

“Tour was a solid 3* Ricky arrived on time but the tour was over after 2.5hrs (not 3-4hrs as listed). The guide did not set the scene e.g. we will go here and try some North Sri Lankan food, then here, finally hear and it will take xx time, etc. We tried some lovely food, it was spicy, some a bit too spicy for me but all good. As per other reviews visiting the tea shop felt like a hard sell and the supermarket yogurt at the end is silly, there’s so many Sri Lankan desserts. We tried to ask about the history of the food but we couldn’t communicate…”

Tuk-tuk through Colombo for 3 hours of local street food, hoppers, kottu, and Ceylon tea tasting, with pickup and drop-off.

“Our tuktuk driver Nawfer was excellent and looked after us very well. The tour was exactly as we expected but in addition he tweaked the order and timings to enable us to have Sri lankan lunch at a restaurant that he recommended. 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. Also I think there was a confusion about the start time of our tour so thank you Nawfer for waiting for us to show up. We were very happy with our experience in Colombo…”
