Free walking tours in Colombo

Kapila was absolutely fantastic, I wouldn’t have wanted to see Colombo any other way!

We had a fantastic walking tour in Colombo with Kapila. The tour was full of interesting information and covered a great variety of places, giving us a real feel for the city. The atmosphere throughout was warm and welcoming, and Kapila was extremely helpful from beginning to end. His knowledge, kindness, and attention to detail made the experience truly memorable. Highly recommended!

I am from Western Australia visiting. You are missing out if you don’t take a walking tour with Kapila a well educated, patient young man with great local knowledge. Knows his way around. Join his next tour if you are coming to Colombo especially if there are a few of you. Four adults and an infant was barely a group for him to share his wealth of knowledge.

Knowledgeable, professional. Great tour of Colombo.

Excellent tour! Would definitely recommend.

Kapila nos hizo un tour muy completo por las zonas más relevantes de Colombo explicando a la par datos históricos interesantes así como anécdotas de la zona.

Kapila was very friendly and the tour was very informative, a lovely bunch of people on the tour also Thank you

Fantastic Colombo Tour with an Exceptional Guide! We had an incredible 3-hour tour exploring the highlights of Colombo, and our guide truly made the experience unforgettable. From the moment the tour began, it was clear how knowledgeable and passionate he was about the city’s history, culture, and hidden gems. He led us through key landmarks such as the Gangaramaya Temple, Independence Memorial Hall and Pettah Market, providing fascinating insights and stories that brought each place to life. His explanations were detailed yet accessible, blending historical facts with local anecdotes that made the tour both educational and entertaining. He welcomed all our questions with enthusiasm. Highly professional and punctual, he made everyone feel comfortable and engaged throughout the tour. If you're visiting Colombo and want to truly understand the city, I can’t recommend this tour—and this guide—highly enough!

Kapila is very knowledgeable about Colombo. He shared many interesting facts and stories about Sri Lanka’s past and present history. During our tour, we visited a good cross-section of sites.

Un guía super recomendable. Habla muy bien inglés. El tour se pasa volando, cuenta muchísimas peculiaridades de la cultura Sri lankesa y con mucho criterio. Genial hacer este tour en Colombo, sin esto la ciudad se queda en nada.

Perfect tour to discover Colombo. Kapila was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Highly recommended!

Really good tour and really good guide! A wonderful morning :) thank u!!!

It was very nice to have local guide around the busy areas of town. We felt very safe and well-informed. We got to do a Buddhist ritual and take a local bus.

We really enjoyed the tour with Kapila! The tour was well structured and very informative. Kapila is a very good guide! I can recommend this tour!

I just came to Sri Lanka to stay here one year for work, and this was the first time I see Colombo, where I’m gonna live. And…. Wow!! Had an amazing tour with Kapila. Cinnamon garden anedoctes and we even tried some local fruit he bought for us. Kapila fue un gran guía. ¡Disfruté la experiencia! Cherry on top? Having kottu together. P.S. I am Italian, but I wrote esto en español porque Kapila me contó que quiere aprender español. Good luck, buena suerte! ¡Quiero que esta mensaje te motive para estudiar! 😌😉😉 ස්තූතියි again, best regards and good evening, Giulia from Italy.

Excellent guide with extended knowledge of Sri Lanka's history! We visited and discovered many things and we recommend Kapila for Colombo's free walking tour!!

Excellent tour, beautiful locations and good walking pace. Kapila was extremely knowledgeable about history, nature, politics and recent developments in society.
