Free walking tours in Colombo

Great tour! Indika is an amazing guide and the tour was interesting, different and in general an unforgettable experience. I am so happy we joined!

The tour with Indika is well thought of and Indika is very well informed and personable.

We wished we had done this tour sooner! If there’s one thing you do in Colombo let it be this tour - we ended up doing it on our last day in Sri Lanka and what a miss. Kapila’s tour was informative and entertaining, sprinkled with personal anecdotes and high quality info. Would highly recommend if you want to understand a bit more about the capital city and Sri Lanka as a whole - thank you so much!

Very nice tour with knowledgeable guide

We had a great tour to explore Colombo, Kapila was great in giving a good background about the history and life of the people in Colombo and Sri Lanka.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a wonderful walking tour in Colombo with our guide Indika on Saturday, March 14th. The tour lasted about three hours and was booked through GuruWalk. Indika keeps the groups small (maximum eight people), which made the experience very personal and enjoyable. We were a group of five: two women living in Bali, a traveler from the Netherlands, and the two of us from Germany. It was a lovely, international group and the size was perfect for asking questions and having great conversations. The tour was extremely informative and interesting. We learned a lot about the history, culture, and daily life of Colombo while visiting some of the city’s most important spots. Indika has a very calm and pleasant way of guiding, speaks excellent English, and is very easy to understand. He is also a certified government guide, which made the experience feel very professional and trustworthy. We highly recommend this tour with Indika to anyone visiting Colombo. It was a fantastic way to discover the city! Chris and Dirk from Germany

Very friendly and experienced guide. Indika playfully connects the dots and reaches all participants of the group, and their individual level of information. He is open for questions and different points of view. Highly recommended and looking forward to see again :-)

We had such a wonderful time on this tour! Indika is a true professional and so knowledgeable about all of Sri Lanka (not just Colombo). From the moment we arrived his bright smile welcomed us. He was so personable. I loved that he keeps his tour group sizes small so that they are able to be very interactive and we could ask any questions we wanted to. The tour was informative about the history of the country while also giving us a nice peak into the lives of Sri Lankan/Colombo residents in the modern day. I love that he included a bus ride in the tour, something I would otherwise not be brave enough to do by myself! Throughout our time together Indika stopped and did some very kind and thoughtful things for us that made us feel like we were more than just a client of his. I had a bad cough and he popped into a story to get me candies that he thought would help my cough! It was so sweet. In summary I would highly recommend this tour to anyone that is curious to learn about the history and culture of Colombo and Sri Lanka as a whole!

Great tour, I learned a lot and saw a lot in the three hours. Very professional and flexible and knowledgeable guide .

Kapila had a friendly and fun spirit. It was a good pace and it was the best way to see Colombo! Thank you

Great walking tour of Colombo, covered so many of the iconic buildings in the city. Kapila was an excellent guide, full of knowledge on everything! I loved the way he even stopped at local food stalls to show us some of the best street food and took us through the Pettah markets.

We had an excellent tour with Indika! He taught us so much about Sri Lankan history and really made the city come to life. He tailored the tour to our interests and covered a vast range of the cities attractions. Thank you!

The tour was Indika was great. It was at the end of our trip, but I wished we had it at the beginning. Indika is very professional and kind. He makes connection with the group. The best guide we had during our travels in Sri Lanka.

We enjoyed a fabulous afternoon tour! Indika was full of knowledge and imparted it in a fun and interesting way. I can highly recommend!

Indika was the best guide we could’ve asked for and he explained everything to us in so much detail. Had an awesome experience and would recommend everyone to go for this tour with Indika

Great tour we leanest lots and saw most of the city with a warm friendly and knowledgeable guide

The guide was full of enthisiasm and knowledge to share with the group. It was a very hot day and kindly he purchased some fruit for us to enjoy.

I participated the walking tour while transiting in Colombo and is the best decision made! Indika was engaging and knowledgeable with the histories across all the spot we visited and always ready to explain and answer if we have any questions. We stopped by to try the local fruits and have also experienced the local bus which make this walking tour even more memorable than any walking tour I’ve participated. Highly recommended to anyone who’s new to the city/country and open for new experiences!

Great tour that even included a bus ride.

Great thorough and educational tour of the city - highly recommended

Knowledgeable, friendly, on time, professional. Good pace, felt safe, educational for first time visitors to Colombo.

We had a great experience with Indika as our guide in Colombo! He was very knowledgeable about Sri Lankan history and culture, and explained everything in a clear and engaging way. At the same time, he was friendly and respectful, which made the tour feel relaxed and enjoyable. He also shared excellent food recommendations and gave us very helpful tips about visa matters, which we really appreciated. We definitely recommend Indika to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and easygoing guide in Colombo!!

We had a wonderful morning in Colombo with Kapila. We feel like we got to see many parts of the city, and were taught many things about the history and culture of this place. Well done and thank k you!

We booked a 3 hour walking tour with Indika who contacted us in advance to confirm timings and meeting point. Indika gave an excellent a varied tour of Colombo, providing us with lots of information. He was open to answering all of our questions and spoke in perfect English. We walked most of the way but also took a local bus which we enjoyed. I can highly recommend this tour with Indika.

Fantastic tour of Colombo by a local - I’ve visited Many times and I learnt lots of new things. For a first time visitor Indika gives a concise overview of SriLankan history and explains the religious and cultural background. We covered a good area including a bus ride! I would thoroughly recommend this tour.
