Excellent insightful tour - Shimaz was an excellent tour guide. He was extremely friendly, has lived in the UK so is completely fluent in English and is an official government registered tour guide which was clear to see by the quality of the tour. He was very knowledgable about Sri Lanka and its history and very flexible on timings and itinerary options. We would thoroughly recommend to anyone looking for a great tour of Colombo!

Unforgettable Colombo visit. - Our visit to Colombo was awesome. Ushuan Cross, our tour guide and driver was fantastic. We were able to go and see so many places in such a short time. Consider yourself lucky if you get Ushuan Cross in your visit to Colombo. Thanks Ushuan!

Perfect Day in Colombo - I only had 12 hours in Colombo, so the Tour by Car was the perfect way to experience most of it in a short time! Kamal picked me up from the airport and drove me to the best sight seeing spots - always making sure where I want to go. The highlight was a drive to the beach where I could watch the sunset and even had a little swim. I don’t regret booking this tour with Sri Lanka By Car!

Amazing Tour in Colombo - It was my first time in Colombo and Ushan really did a great job touring me and my friend in a private aircon car. Learned a lot about history of Sri Lanka and visited beautiful places within half day tour. Felt so safe with him and I would highly recommend booking as he is a good photographer and videographer as well . Thanks so much 🫶🏻😍

Education in comfort. - The tours was brilliant, our guide was Ushan and he was so knowledgeable, we learnt so much, we just hope we can remember it all. The Gangaramaya Temple was definitely the highlight. A private tour was a great option, if you book this tour ask for Ushan.

Educational Tour - We chose a private tour of Colombo and our tour guide was Ushan from Sri Lanka Car. It proved to be a wise decision as Ushan was a perfect tour guide and his car was a wonderful cool oasis. We either visited or drove past the usual spots, Independence square, the Lotus Tower, Khan clock tower, world trade centre, Old Dutch hospital, St Lucia's church, Berla Lake and the Red mosque. But the highlight was the Gangaramaya Temple which was magnificent, so much to see, so much history and we learnt so much from Ushan. A great tour, thank you.
