Overview
Exploring Colombo independently on a cruise port-of-call can mean negotiating with cabs, and the risk of getting lost or delayed. Make things easy with a private shore excursion that whisks you around the sights smoothly and comfortably. Travel by private vehicle, visit top sights such as the Gangaramaya Buddhist Temple; shop for souvenirs at handicrafts emporiums; and hear tales of local life from your driver that you'd miss if alone.
- Explore Colombo with ease on a private shore excursion from the cruise port
- Forget cabs or buses: sightsee stress-free, by private air-conditioned car
- See the sights, shop at markets, and hear about local life and history
- Relax with cruise port pickup and drop-off, plus on-board WiFi access

Not Good!
Sean_M
, Dec 2019
I would not recommend this tour! We left 35 mins late yet we arrived 30 mins early so a big group of us waited out in boiling hot. The tour was very poor, unorganised having to stop for the host to by water for guests, the guide told us about the red mosque as we past it! Apparently we couldn't go check it as there was no parking! We drove up and down same roads many times! We visited many high pressure outlets where we were kicked off the bus to look at expensive jewelry and we had to get off as the bus needed fuel!!! Same at the tea shop and spice shop!!! And cashew shop!!! We feel like we had a tour of the tour companies friends shops where everything is 400x the street price. We asked if the general consensus was that people didn't want to do the museum then could we stop for 30 mins at the market, the host said he can take us to a linen shop (no doubt his mates again!) He said the shops are dangerous and he can't take us there as there are problems!!! Then they just took us back to the port without even asking if we wanted to do the museum. Unfortunately I think the guides got the hump as no one wanted to buy tea etc at 20x price of it back home. My advise is get a tuk tuk strait outside the port gates and pay just $10 per hour for the tuk tuk to take you anywhere you want to go.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
