About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 848kimg0 contributionsGreat Tuk Tuk TourWe had a great tour with Obama. He showed us all the major sights of the city and answered all of our questions patiently. We enjoyed seeing many different religious locations, a vegetable market, historical locations, the maritime museum and many more. We also had fresh mango juice at a family run juice shop and tea at another family run business. The day wrapped up with a traditional Sri Lankan lunch. Would highly recommend to see much of Colombo on limited time.Written 9 December 2024
- Joshua78960 contributionsBad serviceThe tuk-tuk was in bad condition, and the ride was bumpy and uncomfortable. The guide seemed disinterested and didn’t explain much about the sites. We also didn’t visit all the attractions that were promised. Overall, the experience felt unprofessional, and I wouldn’t recommend this tour.Written 13 November 2024
- zacharybl07410 contributionsUncomfortable tourThe tuk-tuk was uncomfortable for such a long journey. The guide didn’t provide much information about the places we visited, and the overall organization was poor. We expected a more enjoyable and insightful tour, but it didn’t meet our expectations. Would not recommend it if you're looking for a quality tour.Written 15 October 2024

This tour was awesome! This private tour was lead by a very informative guide who showed me everything there is to see in the city. From temples, to the Lotus Tower I had a great time. If you want to try the local cuisine this is the perfect all-inclusive tour because you will get also get treated to local coffee, tea & a full lunch. Guide arrived at my hotel right on time and I felt safe throughout the entire journey. Highly recommend this tour. 10/10

Our Tuk Tuk City tour through Colombo Sri Lanka was wonderful today. We had such a good time that we couldn’t wait to give a review. We cruised through the streets and felt very comfortable with our tour guide/driver. Today our guide was Kusal and he did a great job. We stopped at a Coffee Shop and enjoyed a cup of espresso. After that we visited a shop that sold juices made from fresh avocado, papaya, mango, banana and other fruits. Everything there was made fresh and it was very special to know that it was a family business for the last 15 years where a mother and father along with their 2 sons ran the business. We also stopped at a shop that sold spices. There the vendor explained the spices he sold, where they came from and the uses for each one. We also stopped at a Hindu temple and a Buddhist temple. Our guide, Kusal took us through each one explaining all the statues and artifacts we saw. It was really nice to not be rushed through as Kusal was very patient with us and went into as much detail as we wanted to hear. He also took us to an open market where we ate lunch enjoying all the traditional local foods. Kusal was also very good to explain what we were eating as Sri Lanken food was new to both of us. The trip also included seeing the many spots in the city such as the parks, administration buildings, churches and some of the newer buildings. We even learned some of the history surrounding when the Portuguese, Dutch and English colonized the island. It was a very good day and we are so glad we decided to take the Tuk Tuk tour and we were even more glad that we got a 5 star guide in Kusal. We highly recommend this tour as we know you will not be disappointed.

This tour is the perfect start to learn about the history and culture of Sri Lanka while enjoying the best food, coffee and tea. The guides were so caring and friendly that I felt really comfortable all the time. I even got to drive the Tuk Tuk on my own in a calm side street which was also a great experience. Don‘t worry about leaving this tour hungry. That won‘t happen! I even got the take the leftovers and beer with me which made a great meal the next day. The tour was completely thought through and the guides also paid attention to little details. This is actually the best cost effectiveness I ever experienced and they made great pictures of me and sent them to me afterwards. Therefore, I even got to take this great experience with me and can show it to my family and friends.

This is definitely the best and only way to see Colombo. Kusal was a really good and knowledgeable guide who takes great care planning a good day for his customers. In just over 5 hours we saw all the sights and sampled the local life in this bustling city
Kusal greeted us with a flower garland and coconut water. We visited the Hindu Temple and then Pettah Market where we had a really good spices demo and coffee production demo. We saw all the main sights around this busy city, had a very traditional Sri Lanka buffet lunch and then a lovely Buddhist Temple visit with a museum
If you are in Colombo contact Kusal at Tuk Tuk Tours and you'll have a great day

We recently tried the Tuk Tuk Private City Tour in Colombo during a quick cruise stop, and it was a standout experience. The all-inclusive package made it easy to explore Colombo's culture and history. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, offering interesting facts along the way. Riding in a tuk-tuk added a fun touch as we cruised through the city. The tour was flexible, letting us visit religious temples, parks, city landmarks and even a stop to enjoy a pleasant coffee tasting. The pickup point was at a hotel not far from the cruise pier, but it required a bit of a walk through the aggressive tax drivers and tour operators trying to get us to book with them.
The tuk tuk tour is a great way to make the most of a single day in Colombo. Highly recommended for cruisers looking for a unique and memorable adventure in this vibrant city.

There were 6 of us on this amazing trip and we went in convoy on 3 Tuk Tuks. A fabulous experience with the best guys who were friendly and informative. Our trip lasted 6 hours, we weren't rushed and experienced Columbo at it's best. Temples, crazy traffic, markets, fresh fruit juice shop, spice shops, complimentary lunch & a tea shop which was an amazing education on how-to brew the perfect cuppa. Cannot recommend these guides enough, they even went to the trouble of meeting us at a lovely hotel to get us away from the mayhem of scores of Tuk Tuk drivers trying to sell tours. Three very calm, very experienced, very lovely guys looked aftet us all day and dropped us off exactly where we needed to be for our coach back to our SHIP. A perfect day and one we would repeat in a heartbeat.

Kusal is a very attentive and competent guide. He not only shows you the usual beautiful highlights of the city, but also many beautiful hidden corners and has a few cool surprises up his sleeve. Be curious! He will also let you try some delicious local food and drinks. Kusal also knows a lot of background information about the country and gives you an excellent insight into beautiful Sri Lanka. I can highly recommend the tour with Kusal!

Let me say they went far and beyond to accommodate me and my electronic wheelchair. They actually sent two. One for me, the other for my wheelchair. We had multiple stops around the city and I was able to try different foods. One place the actually carried me back to tuk tuk. My guides were good at what the do and made me feel at ease. They didn't rush things and took time with everything. I would recommend this tour to anyone!

Kusal was an excellent guide, you will not regret booking this tour! He is friendly, professional and knowledgeable on all things Sri Lankan and the city of Colombo. He strives to provide a comfortable and scenic tour. We saw all of the highlights of Colombo and more! Despite it being a public holiday, Kusal agreed to provide the tour for me. He provided so much information about the city and history, it helped me appreciate the beautiful sights I was seeing even more. The tour started off with a complimentary fresh coconut and I even had the chance to try some local authentic food and fresh juice. This is a great tour that will let you see all major parts of the city from the seat of a comfy tuk tuk. Highly recommend, this tour was a highlight of my trip to Sri Lanka!
