Our second time! - It was a wonderful experience with Pink Panther. We covered many Colombo sights and tea/coffee/fruit juice/spices tastings. Pink Panther gave us a historical perspective and was patient and provided great customer service. This was our second time doing this tour. We did the first one in 2017.

A must do in Colombo - Wonderful way to see Colombo!! We are a family of five (children ages 8, 6, 5) and we rented two tuk tuks. We saw all the best sites, had an amazing lunch, the guides were really informative and even took a lot of family photos. The guides were really sweet with my children and overall a fantastic day. Thank you so much!

Great Tour - This is undoubtedly the best to see and sample the city. The experience of travelling by tuk tuk with its traffic busting moves gives a great thrill and adventure. Our guides were Pink Panther and Bob Marley. They demonstrated a very detailed and in depth knowledge that comes with the passion they have for the tour. There were many highlights but the spice market was an eye opener for me. Altogether a really great experience

Lovely morning exploring Colombo - Had a great morning with Pradeep exploring Colombo. He was really knowledgeable about the city, culture, religion, nature and Sri Lanka generally. The stop-offs at the spice market and tea shop were fab and everyone was really friendly. Finished with an authentic Sri Lankan curry in a local restaurant which was so tasty! Thanks Pradeep for a brilliant time!

Exhilarating and fun - This was an amazing tour. We toured many of the local “must do” locations as well as some off the beaten path. We were immersed in local culture and food. A must do experience in Colombo. This was the best tour experience we have ever had.

Wonderful way to see Columbo - We booked this tuk tuk safari around Colombo as our last trip in Sri Lanka .it was such a great way to fill in time whilst waiting to catch a plane . We stopped at a Hindu, and Buddhist temple, drove past the red and white mosque . Drove through the throngs of people and pavement of the crazy markets . We got such a great feel for the city . We also stopped for fruit drink and had an authentic Sri Lanka meal served on a lotus leaf. Our tour guide couldn’t do enough for us and even found a second hand book store for my husband . He shared so much of his island history and culture and is really great unofficial ambassador for his land . And of course a great tuk tuk driver .
