Colombo: Half-Day City Tour
Descripción completa
Colombo no es una ciudad que se entregue rapidamente. Esta extendida, sus monumentos se encuentran a varios kilometros de distancia, y el trafico entre ellos puede consumir una tarde entera. Este trayecto de media jornada esta pensado para quienes tienen una mañana o una tarde libres, y cubre el terreno que necesita una primera visita sin fingir que puede recorrerse a pie.
Comienza en Colombo 7, el barrio tranquilo y arbolado que los britanicos trazaron como Cinnamon Gardens. La Plaza de la Independencia se encuentra aqui, un salon de piedra levantado sobre columnas talladas para conmemorar el traspaso britanico de 1948, y sigue siendo donde los habitantes de Colombo vienen a caminar a primera hora de la tarde. El parque Viharamahadevi esta cerca, con el antiguo ayuntamiento en su borde, y el salon de conferencias conmemorativo Bandaranaike esta a un corto trayecto en coche.
El Templo Gangaramaya recibe la parada mas larga de la mañana, y la merece. El templo es a la vez un monasterio activo, una biblioteca y un museo ligeramente caotico, y sus edificios toman prestado de los estilos de Sri Lanka, tailandes, indio y chino sin decidirse por ninguno. Espere coches antiguos, reliquias apiladas, una coleccion residente de colmillos de elefante y una gran cantidad de dorado.
Desde alli la ruta baja hacia el agua y hacia la ciudad mas antigua. Pasa por el templo hindu Sri Kaileswaram y la Torre del Loto, luego baja a Fort y Pettah, donde las capas portuguesa, holandesa y britanica del puerto todavia se leen en el plano de las calles. La mezquita a rayas rojas y blancas Jami Ul-Alfar de 1908, la estacion de tren de Colombo Fort y la antigua torre del reloj del faro son las ultimas paradas antes de regresar.
Su guia conduce y narra, lo que significa que el ritmo es flexible. Digalo temprano si prefiere cambiar una parada fotografica por mas tiempo dentro de un templo o una caminata por las callejuelas del mercado, y la mayoria de las veces se puede organizar. El tour termina de vuelta en su hotel.

Danesh was a very good guide. He showed us around Colombo in a very very comfortable van. For group of 5 people the tour was very enjoyable. He did not rush us and helped us understand the history behind many popular spots in Colombo. We covered all the major attractions in the city. He gave us the time and space to have fun as a group. We really appreciate his hospitality and friendliness.
very knowledgeable tour guide, Niraven was a lovely young man and made sure I understood what we were looking at.
The tour was amazing! Very well explained. Our guide, Naveen, showed us many beautiful spots and explained history and curiosities! He showed us spots we wouldn’t have visited by ourselves. Thanks Naveen!
Fantastic. Our guide Milan was so helpful and knowledgeable about Colombo. Highly recommended!
Niraveen was the perfect host! He was an excellent guide, took us to all the main points of interest and managed to pack a huge amount into a relatively short tour. We really enjoyed our afternoon and conversations with him, and would definitely recommend.
Krish was very informative and gave good advice. it was raining most of the tour so he also provided an umbrella. We had an excellent trip round the sights of Colombo
On Time. Guide was very polite and helpful. Excellent service and drive
Exceptional Tour Experience with Chathu – Highly Recommended! I recently had the pleasure of exploring Sri Lanka with the help of an outstanding guide, Chathu. From the very beginning, it was clear that he was not only highly professional but also genuinely dedicated to making our trip as smooth and enjoyable as possible. His deep knowledge of Sri Lanka’s history, culture, and landmarks added incredible value to our journey, but what truly set him apart was his willingness to go above and beyond in every aspect of our experience. One of the highlights of our trip was our visit to Gangaramaya T
Thank you Nicholas and your driver for a wonderful tour. Helpful in every way.
Our tour was great, Dhanesh was lovely and showed us everything we wanted to see while sharing some facts about the city. Highly recommend it!
my guide Nicolas was the best and very kind and knowledgeable about sirilanka
Very good experience! Excellent value. Our driver was very friendly and informative, but also gave us time to explore on our own and did not make us feel rushed at all. This was a great activity to get acquainted with Colombo on our first day in town. We felt very safe and comfortable.
