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…”

“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…”

“Driver ( tuktuk) met us promptly after we spent the day chasing exact meeting point instructions. Our driver spoke little English, certainly not enough to be a tour guide. He asked what we wanted to do and seemed surprised we expected a food tour. Places we were taken to did not seem very hygienic or safe. We Abandoned the tour after 45 minutes as guide seemed to have run out of ideas and was just driving around slowly, apparently looking for inspiration. Extremely disappointed and expected much better from a GYG partner.”
