Colombo Holidays

Celebrating 25 Years of tour excellence

Colombo is rapidly emerging as a must-see stop in Sri Lanka. No longer just the sprawling city you have to endure on your way to the southern beaches, it has become a worthy destination in its own right.

Colombo’s cosmopolitan side is home to an abundance of stylish eateries, galleries, and museums. Surprises abound in its old quarters where you can find great local food and discover a characterful shops and cafes. Colonial Colombo's garden roots are still very much intact along its often shady boulevards. After decades of neglect, the city is in the midst of widespread historic restoration of its landmark colonial architecture, and with the growth of its cosmopolitan side, this city is continually evolving.

Colombo Tour Reviews

Rated 4.6 out of 5 based on 5528 reviews

Review for Highlights of Sri Lanka
The holiday in Sri Lanka was very full with many interesting visits. The hotels were very good apart from the Ramada in Colombo which was average. The meals were excellent and there was always an alternative to the hot spicy curry. Our guide was attentive, helpful and very informative with excellent English. He did his best to show us his beautiful country and appreciation it’s long and complex history.
It was a shame that the bus we traveled in was not very comfortable, the seats did not recline and were quite small without much legroom, as we did spend a lot of time in the bus on the long slow drives though Sri Lank’s interesting traffic!! however the drivers were very good, nice and attentive.
