Do not miss this experience! - Our tuk tuk tour with Dinuka was our favorite part of our Sri Lanka trip! Dinuka took us to the major historical sights and temples. He was knowledgable and professional and answered our many questions. He was a careful driver and we felt safe with him in the bustling city traffic. He brought us to Pettah for street food and sightseeing-- this would otherwise be outside our comfort zone and we are very grateful for him showing us authentic Colombo! He even took us to a tea shop for tea samples and reminded us no pressure to buy anything. We enjoyed every moment of this experience. We will always hold this very special tour in our memories. Our only regret is that we didn't take a photo with Dinuka himself! My husband and I would recommend this tour to all our friends visiting Colombo.

Colombo City tuk tuk tour - Had Dinuka as our tour guide, very friendly and knowledgeable! Accommodating with our pick up & drop, went in depth with his explanations of major landmarks. Taught us cultural significance of different areas and communities. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to visit landmarks but limited on time. Great experience!

A just do tour in Colombo - This trip is a must in Colombo, you get to see city in few hours and the Tuk Tuk is the most practical way to do it. The guide was amazing, knowledgeable and a safe driver.

Also recommended for women travelling alone - Dinuka made me feel safe, good throughout the tour. He manoeuvres his tuktuk confidently through Colombo's chaos traffic and also shows you typical native corners of Colombo. I was allowed to take my time to photograph everywhere and he patiently answered my questions. A really polite, respectful and nice guide. Thanks Dinuka

Perfect Tuktuk tour for the start of our SriLanka trip - We have three. For 90Euros made a nearly 5 hour tour of Colombo. Our driver was very friendly, well informed and let us get to know the interesting city with all facets. Particularly noteworthy is that we felt very safe in the "exciting" traffic for a European. We would be picked up from our hotel on time, our guide was always looking after our well-being. 100% Recommendation and!! And thank you very much!

So worth it! Great value for money & learn so much information x - Our guide Ricky was AMAZING!! The knowledge he had was insane we learnt so much. Unfortunately a few of the temples were closed due to the time of day & it being a Sunday but we still got to see and do so much it didn’t feel like we missed out on anything. We got lunch, multiple snacks & water throughout the day all free of charge. Literally only had to pay a small fee for one temple. These tours are such good value for money, very interesting and fun. Gives the opportunity to do a lot that you wouldn’t on your own. Highly recommend, 2nd tour with this company and haven’t disappointed yet!!

Lovely evening tour - Dinuka's tour was excellent and exactly what we needed, especially because we only stayed for one day in Colombo. Dinuka showed us every important place in Colombo and talked about the history and the way people live here in Sri Lanka. We visited local markets and even had a lovely dinner in the local food market where otherwise we probably would not dare to eat on our own. Don't hesitate to book Dinuka's tuk tuk when in Colombo.

Great experience - We had a great tour with Dinuka. We had limited time in Colombo so a tuk tuk tour was the best way for us to see the main sights. We learned about the sights of Colombo and he went out of his way to ensure we caught our train out of the city on time. I’d fully recommend.

A fantastic way to see the city! - Had an amazing experience touring Colombo with Dinuka: he shared very interesting details about the history and daily life, showed both the must spots as well as places not open to everyone - and took me to eat very delicious Street food in Pettah! Best samosa I ever had. Really enjoyed a Tea experience as the Grand finale of our tour. I truly recommend this tour to anyone Wishing to see Colombo in 3-4 hours!
