What you can expect

With the help of a private guide, explore the city of Colombo and uncover your own personal highlights. Visit important historical landmarks, see striking religious temples, and immerse yourself in the lively shopping district, gaining an understanding of Sri Lankan life in the process.

Colombo, the capital of a quickly developing nation, displays many aspects of its newfound modernity. However, when you delve a little deeper, you find a striking diversity of culture that springs from the city's rich history. Admire a fine example of this blend of old and new at the Gangaramaya Temple. Located on the shores of Beira Lake, the site is a wonderful fusion of spiritual soul and modern architecture.

Continue to Pettah, Colombo's main commercial area, to find a delightful series of bazaars, markets, and shops. Here, marvel at the neighborhoods rich ethnic, architectural, and artistic diversity, arguably best illustrated by local churches, mosques, and the Khan Clock Tower.

Complete your tour having pushed past the city's glossy façade and connected with its more traditional roots, which reveal a place brimming with character and soul.
