Our Colombo experience

Published on Apr, 2025

This was an excellent trip. Shimaz was an excellent guide. And the most amazing person to go on a tour with. He was very generous and accommodating, and we loved every minute of it. We highly recommend using him.

Outstanding Tour Guide

Published on Mar, 2025

I was hoping for a good tour guide and I got a great one! Shimaz was very knowledgeable and spoke English proficiently. He showed us everything the tour description listed and then some additional sites which were absolutely outstanding. He even included a stop for local ice cream and a local textile venue. Thank you!

Great experience - great guide, good driver!
