Half day
Colombo City Highlights
A private half-day introduction to Colombo: Pettah’s bazaars, Gangaramaya Temple, the colonial Fort and sunset at Galle Face Green.
Day tours from Colombo
Private day trips starting from Colombo hotels.
Colombo is the most practical base for day trips to Galle and the west coast, and the city itself deserves a guided half day. Longer trips to Kandy or Sigiriya are possible in a day but involve long drives; we are honest about when an overnight makes more sense.
All day tours are private, with your own air-conditioned vehicle and driver or chauffeur guide, so start times flex around you.
Pickup
Pickup from any Colombo hotel or residence. Early starts are recommended for longer trips to avoid city traffic.
