Great Day with Deegoda

We had a fantastic time with Deegoda in Colombo. He picked us up from our hotel in his tuk-tuk and was super friendly and enthusiastic about showing us around Colombo. He tailored the tour to the areas we had asked about. He knew so many people as we went around, so it was great to feel immersed in the hustle and bustle of a big city and see the real side of Colombo. We would 100% recommend booking time with Deegoda.

Awesome intro to vegan tastes of Sri Lanka

This time with Priyantha was brilliant - on our first day in Sri Lanka, Priyantha introduced us to many, many of the delicious vegan options available for us in this beautiful country, sharing good conversation about what and how to order, and how things fit into the culture, which put us in an excellent position for the two weeks of our holiday that followed, and we used his good advice often. Priyantha is a great host, and this was a fun wander to places we would never have tried or even known about.
