Very good tour. Our Driver/Guide Dinesh was very knowledgable and informative, a difficult job when trying to give us as much information as possible but trying to negotiate the Colombo traffic. The tour is a good introduction to the city and gives a taste for areas that could be investigated independently. One downside to tours like this, is that you are taken to shops/outlets which are presumably well known to the tour company but do not necessarily sell very good quality goods and naturally enough are keen to push sales to you. Its a real waste of time and whilst the tour includes shopping time this is not the best way to do it. Other than that, I would recommend the tour, it was good value for money and we were taken to a restaurant for lounge which was very good.

The arrangement for the City Tour by VIATOR / M/s Sonata Walkers was excellent in all respects. The pick-up at the Hotel was on time and all places as per the itenery were covered. The Car was very good and the chauffeur Mr. Subhash Deshand ? was excellent in taking us around in the car as well in explaining as a Tour Guide in very good English. This Day Tour by VIATOR/Sonata Walkers is real value for money and a very happy experience indeed! M.V. Ramamurthy

My husband and I enjoyed our city tour with Chari, our guide. He was quite engaging as he gave us an overview of Colombo and a brief history of Sri Lanka. We absolutely loved the fact that he was very flexible with our lunch arrangements - skipped on the buffet lunch and went to Ministry of Crab instead. The Crabzilla in Ministry of Crab was superb. It was a wonderful day!
