We had a fabulous day out with Sam. The tour was interesting. He showed us many aspects of Sri Lanka - historical, cultural, religious and the natural world. His English was impeccable. Having a driver meant that Sam’s focus was on ensuring that we had a great day. Sam was responsive to our needs & wishes. Thank you

Fantastic food experience!
Dulshan was a fantastic host - super personable, and a real local who shared his love of food, and secret out-of-the-way spots, which made for an incredible street food experience.

About local Deegoda
Excellent food tour with Deegoda
We had an excellent food tour with a very friendly, knowledgeable guide, Deegoda. He made us try food which we would not have known to try otherwise and we enjoyed trying some fruits while getting a tour through the fruit and vegetable market. Would highly recommend booking him, and I would without hesitation book him again on a future trip to Colombo!
