Review of Colombo’s private tuk-tuk tour, with temples, markets, tastings, local food, beach views, pickup, and practical booking advice.
“Normally I’m not one to book tours as I prefer exploring a new place myself, but given that we had just a day in Colombo plus a two year old we decided to book a tuk tuk tour, and I am so glad we did. We started out at the old dutch hospital, followed by a trip to a local bazaar where one can shop for local spices. This was followed by a visit to a Hindu temple which I think was over a hundred old. Next was lunch at a quaint little place that is frequented by the locals, so we knew the food would definitely be great. You…”

Review of Kandy to Sigiriya by tuk tuk, covering temples, spice gardens, village life, Pidurangala, costs, comfort, and practical tips.
“Fazeel was a great guide. Very friendly and helpful. Note that the description tuk tuk is correct - the big four wheel drive you see in the main image is not at all the vehicle you'll be travelling in. So be prepared for a bumpy, smoggy ride - which can be fun - but it is a long day - and you wouldn't want more than 2 in the tuk tuk. Pidurangala Rock was amazing, and the spice garden was interesting, but there is pressure to purchase in the shop, etc. Temples were great, especially Dmnbulla which was a highlight on the trip. I would prefer to have the option…”
