Colombo: Tuk-Tuk City Game with a Local
Description complète
Le tuk-tuk est le bon vehicule pour Colombo. Il passe dans les ruelles de Pettah ou un van ne peut pas aller, il s’arrete ou vous le pointez, et dans un tricycle ouvert vous avez le marche aux poissons, le frangipanier et les gaz d’echappement, qui sont la plus grande partie du caractere de la ville. Ce tour prive de quatre heures couvre les principaux sites a un rythme qui laisse de la place pour s’arreter.
L’itineraire s’organise autour de la geographie de la ville plutot qu’une liste fixe. Vous voyez la Tour du Lotus, le monastere de Gangaramaya avec son architecture mixte sri-lankaise, thailandaise, indienne et chinoise, le parc Viharamahadevi et la Place de l’Independance dans l’ancien quartier de Cinnamon Gardens, et l’ancien batiment du parlement sur le front de mer. Galle Face Green, la promenade coloniale, est programmee pour la fin de l’apres-midi quand les vendeurs de cerfs-volants et les chariots d’isso wade apparaissent.
La seconde moitie est la ville commerciale plus ancienne. Les rues de marche de Pettah se specialisent chacune dans un commerce, et le marche aux legumes, le clocher hollandais de Kayman’s Gate et la mosquee rayee Jami Ul-Alfar de 1908 se trouvent a quelques pates de maisons. Fort suit : l’ancienne tour de l’horloge du phare, le musee maritime dans un batiment de l’epoque hollandaise, et un marchand de the ou vous pouvez deguster le the de Ceylan.
Le repas est la partie qui fait que le tour merite l’heure supplementaire. Selon que vous prenez le creneau dejeuner ou diner, votre guide vous emmene dans un endroit local plutot qu’un restaurant d’hotel, et vous mangez du riz et curry, du kottu roti ou des hoppers avec ce que la cuisine fait de mieux ce jour-la. Dites a l’avance si vous etes vegetarien ou avez besoin que le niveau d’epices soit baisse.
Comme c’est prive, le tour est le votre a rediriger. La prise en charge et la depose sont incluses n’importe ou dans les districts postaux de Colombo, et si vous voulez sauter un arret et passer vingt minutes supplementaires au marche, c’est une conversation, pas un probleme.

Avis des voyageurs
Our tour guide Asmi was very thorough in explaining the purpose of each location. He answered all our questions. offered to take pictures and even helped to carry our belongings. He is certainly an exemplary employee.
It was a brilliant experience. Met by our driver Raju at Port Entrance as advised. Proceeded to show us all the promised sights and more. His driving of Tuk Tuk was amazing and in that traffic was an experience in itself. Guided us around the more significant sights and volunteered to take photos of us regularly. Always smiling. Tea stop was interesting as tried a number of teas and apparently were visited by a Bollywood actor that caused some disruption amongst the locals! Great way to experience Colombo and good value.
Shore excursion from the cruise port. We had a great time on our Tuk Tuk tour with Zoom Tours. Mohammad and Asmi took us around the sights of Columbo and explained about the history of Sri Lanka and showed us famous monuments. We saw some temples where they explained interesting things about the religions, and went round with us. We enjoyed the tea tasting and bought some lovely Sri Lankan teas to take home, and then finished up at Galle Face green before heading back to the cruise port. We really enjoyed the tour and would absolutely recommend it. If you are taking this tour, make sure you wear shoes that are easy to take off as the Hindu and Buddhist temples require bare feet.
Very good Our guide was very knowledgeable and spoke good English Highly recommend 5*
We had a tour with Faisal from Zoom Tours, he was friendly and always super customer-oriented. You really saw a lot
Our driver Rizwan came to pick us up on time and brought us through a tour of the city. It was a perfect way to soak in the city, stopping at numerous historical places. He did his best to personalize the tour. We booked the trip in the evening because we arrived around 4AM. So some things were closed to visit inside. We didn’t mind and felt like we saw plenty and some things look even better during nighttime like the Lotus Tower. From a logistical point: if you are tall like me, you sometimes have to bend down to see things. The tuktuks in sri lanka a roof that curves around. Overall a great way to get to know Colombo as we are leaving for a trip within the cultural triangle the day after!
Our guide Mohamad was very nice and competent and gave us a great insight into Colombo. We felt very comfortable and safe and were able to take lots of great photos. The only thing we missed was the tea tasting, it was more of a sales pitch - but that's part of it... Overall though: unreserved recommendation!
It was a very nice tour with an amazing guide.
Great tour, great driver. Our driver told us a lot about Colombo. We would 100% recommend the tour.
