Great tuk tuk food experience - A fantastic way to spend 2-3 hours in the late afternoon in a tuk tuk and eat like locals in small restaurants. Curries, sambols, hoppers, pittu and kottu roti - all delicious, spicy and filling! As first time visitors to this country, would never have found these restaurants ourselves or known what to order. What a fantastic introduction to Sri Lankan cuisine!

Lot of food to eat. ... - Lot of food to eat. Plenty of variety and all at very local places. Driving between the places to eat was an adventure.

A ‘must do’ food tour - I loved all of the food we tried on this tour. I would never have eaten in these restaurants on my own. The food was amazing and I think I’m still full! We also did a tea tasting which I really enjoyed.

10/10 Tasting Tour - All I can say is WOW! This was truly a full tasting experience- everywhere we went we were welcomed with open arms and treated to many local delights! Fazal was our guide, he was extremely professional and a safe driver. I would highly recommend this experience for anyone coming to visit Colombo!

Colombo by night - what a great experience seeing parts of Colombo we didn’t realise existed. It was made even nicer by exploring the food stops at dusk and early evening. Our guide, Prince, was very friendly and informative. Tracey and Robyn

The best way to enjoy Colombo - We were a family of 3 adults and they asigned two tul-tuks, so we went very confortable in clean vehicles and with Rick and his friend being very proffesional guides. We were exposed to local meals through street food, and truly local restaurants that you would never find without local advice. All meals delicious and new to us, giving 3 hours of a lot of fun and a lot of food. All in all a great experience.with a very good price.

Brilliant Must Do activity! - Travelled with my 2.5ye old Daughter and 69yr old Dad. Our driver was great, took us to many places and tried many yummy foods- Catered well to My “no spice” request (I have bad reflux, and my toddler not used to spice). Set us up well for further travel around Sri Lanka and what to order on holidays. Was a fantastic opportunistic tour of Colombo as well. Soooo much food, we felt a little guilty for not being able to eat it all (def don’t have lunch before 😜)!

Taste the Best of Sri Lanka in Colombo - We had an incredible food tour in Colombo, tasting a wide range of authentic Sri Lankan dishes. Our guide explained each ingredient thoroughly, making the experience even more enjoyable. The highlight was the final dish Pittu served with seafood curry. I’ve traveled to many Asian countries, but I’ve never tried anything quite like this before. Truly unforgettable! Highly recommended.

Food tour review - Food tour was good. Food was good. Tour guides were good, they explained about things we saw and ate. We enjoyed looking at the working market. There was plenty to eat. Felt full at the end. There was some walking, not too much.
