★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 678 reviews · from $34

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.

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 641 reviews · 4 - 10 hours · from $30

Private Udawalawe elephant safari with an expert guide in a 4x4 jeep. See elephant herds, crocodiles, deer, and Sri Lankan birds.

“We had an excellent time with our guide Gimhana. Compared to another safari we did in Wilpattu, our experience was so much more relaxed. We did the four hour safari and Gimhana was excellent at pointing out different animal species, and getting into good positions for photos while being respectful of the animals’ space. We found him very considerate; making sure we were ready to move on from a stop before going etc. We also saw lots and lots of elephants, which all seemed very happy to get close up to the jeep!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 472 reviews · from $665

8 days around Sri Lanka from Negombo with a private English-speaking driver, sunrise sights, safaris, beaches, and breakfast included.

“The tour is very interesting. You see of Sri Lanka and do a lot of different things (safaris, temples, train ride, hiking, etc). Our tour guide, Nisha, is very experienced and very knowledgable in culture, history, botanics and zoology (in particular birds and butterflies). And he’s a super driver. Nisha made sure we always had the best view possible! Thank you Nisha! We booked the luxury tour: the hotels we stayed in are NOT anywhere near luxury standards. Smelly rooms, bad buffet food (Oak Ray hotel chain, so same food in all the hotels), dirty towels. Additional costs for safaris etc are not transparent.”

“Niyas was absolutely amazing. He took us around all the sights, explained everything with a smile on his face, and even helped us with an unplanned stop at Pettah to buy a few things. Highly recommend. Navigating Colombo on your own can be challenging, especially when you don’t have much time - having a guide helps so much!”
