Things to do in Colombo, Western Province: The Best Coffee & Tea Tours
Colombo is the gateway to Sri Lanka for most travelers—but don’t be tempted to simply pass through this diverse and interesting city. Take a train ride along the coast to Mount Lavinia, a popular beach, or explore the Talangama Wetland, which several TripAdvisor travelers say is the perfect place to take a break from the bustling streets of the city.

I spent an enjoyable 1/2 day touring Colombo with Kavi on a Ceylon Capital Tour by Tuk Tuk. I was lucky to do the tour on a Sunday as there wasn't much traffic and the tour ran well ahead of schedule because of this. I chose to take a tour with this company as the meeting point was my hotel - there was great communication in advance to confirm the meeting time and hotel details. The tour covered the must-see sights around Colombo and I particularly enjoyed sampling some street food, drinking coconut water, stopping at a juice bar (the avocado juice was amazing), trying authentic Sri Lankan food for lunch, and getting a chance to do a tea tasting. My favorite stop had to be the walk through of the fruit and veg market - it was extremely busy but Kavi did well to navigate through it. I learned a lot about Colombo on the tour. I really appreciated Kavi taking photos along the way and sharing them with me after the tour. There are many tuk tuk tours available to choose from in Colombo - I would high recommend booking with Kavi.

Ashiq Aswar is a superb tour guide! Him and Rizni took my family around on a tour of Colombo that included shopping and then a tour of the outskirts of a bee farm, spice gardens a private tour visiting and riding elephants. We had a great lunch in a clean and air-conditioned restaurant. The van was clean and comfortable. They picked us up and dropped us back. This trip was actually in the early part of last year in spring, but the calendar on Trip Advisor only goes back to summer of last year. They were very attentive, very caring and personable. I would highly recommend Ashiq and Kingfisher tours to anyone visiting Colombo, Sri Lanka ????????

The park offers everything that is needed for an exciting safari. Great landscapes, many animals, especially elephants! We were very close to the elephants and were very lucky to be able to watch a whole herd and also some baby elephants. Furthermore, I would like to emphasize our tour guide - not only did he inspire and excite us with his very good mood, he also saw many small animals with his trained eye and answered our questions thoroughly. The 3 hours passed by in no time and gave us many nice memories. Would totally recommend booking a trip with these guys :-)
