Colombo, the vibrant city and Commercial Hub of Sri Lanka.
Overview of your Colombo tour
Colombo is the largest city of Sri Lanka. It is situated on the west coast of the island and close to Sri Jayawardenapura Kotte, the capital of Sri Lanka. Colombo is popularly known as the capital of the country, since Sri Jayawardenapura Kotte is a satellite city of Colombo. Of course Colombo is a vibrant city and back in the news with various happenings. If you have only 4 hours to see Colombo, this tour is ideal. I am going to explain about life, culture and history while we are driving true center of Colombo and visiting the most important places. Not only just monuments and remains, I am able to explain the stories behind these, which are interesting to know. One word explanation is not my job. I want to give the knowledge and experience that you are expecting from a paid experience tour Guide. Working with you, we can adjust the schedule, the duration as well as the activities to meet your specific needs. Please let me know if you have any special interests or requests.
