Excursion Overview
For a fun, tongue-in-cheek, off the beaten track experience in Colombo we can arrange a tuk tuk city and street food 'safari'.
You'll enjoy a tour of Colombo's low-key eateries, all the while taking in the city's main sights from the comfort of your chauffeured tuk-tuk. You'll visit a variety of stalls that show you the wide range of street food, including the ubiquitous curry, hoppers, short eats, rotis... Some of which may not make much sense now, but will by the end of the tour!
We recommend the afternoon option - watch the teaming streets burst with busy markets trading textiles, spices, crafts and local food, then feel the hustle and bustle in old Colombo town as it rolls into sunset. Cruise the city streets while watching the sun lower over the Indian ocean and enjoy the chaos as the 9 to 5 workday winds down and the city lights come alive for yet another evening of buzzing activity.
This is a fully inclusive, all expenses paid trip! You will be filled with Sri Lankan food, provided with drinks and we’ll even throw in a couple of local beers. Make sure you bring your camera to capture all of the sights, a smart phone with your favourite tunes (Android or Apple) to crank your beats in the tuk tuk, hat & sunscreen (for the open roof tuk tuks), and some spare cash in case you buy any souvenirs!

Lisa Jankus-Scott organised a very diverse itinerary for our visit to Sri Lanka. We visited temples, tea plantations, a couple of safaris, a street food experience, Sri Lanka food cookery class and many beautiful rural boutique hotels. Our driver guide Alaine looked after us so well and was very informative, he loved the fact that my husband shared his interest in birds. Will definitely use Holiday Architects again.

Rebecca at Holiday Architects put together a wonderful trip to Sri Lanka for us. She listened carefully to everything we did and didn’t want and asked all the right questions. This resulted in a perfect itinerary right from the beginning. The holiday itself was as good as promised; an excellent driver-guide, wonderful hotels and an itinerary that delivered everything we wanted.
