Private Colombo Sightseeing By Tuk Tuk
The most common mode of transport in Sri Lanka is via a three-wheeled automobile appropriately referred to as Tuk-Tuk’s from the noise of their motors. If you have not been in a TUK TUK you have not visited Sri Lanka. The best and most enjoyable way of creeping through the busy streets of Colombo.
You will be picked up by the vehicle at Port or your Hotel in Colombo and then you will start the TUK TUK ride through the busy streets of Colombo (Approx. 30 – 45 Minutes). Then you will be transferred back to the Air Conditioned Vehicle with the Chauffeur guide for the remainder of the tour which includes seeing Colombo attractions such as the Residential area and areas of historical significance; Cinnamon Gardens, Old Parliament, Victoria Park, Town Hall, Jamiul Alfar Mosque and the Gangaramaya Temple
