Negombo - We had the best morning with Nishan showing us around Negombo. Nishan was on time to pick us up and was the perfect guide taking us to all the attractions and giving us info along the way about this incredible place. After such a great experience, we also booked Nishan to take us out on the Lagoon in the late afternoon and we are so pleased we did. We highly recommend both the trips and the best guide in Negombo!

A must do experience - Brilliant way to see Negombo in the safe hands of your guide. Our guide Nishan was very knowledgable, friendly and tailored the tour to our likes. We would not have experienced Negombo properly without doing this tour.
