Free Walking Tours in Colombo

This was such a great walking tour! I really loved the mix of history, current events, culture, and religion, it gave a really complete picture of Colombo. The bus ride and the visit to the traditional market were amazing and made the experience even more authentic. It was the perfect combination and a fantastic introduction to the city. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Colombo!

I had a fantastic time with Indika. Our group was just three people, making the tour relaxed and personal. He was professional, friendly, and happy to answer all our questions. Having grown up in Colombo, he knows the city inside out and shared fascinating local stories and insights you wouldn’t get from a guidebook. If you want a great overview of Colombo while experiencing the city through a local’s eyes, this is it!

Indika was such a wonderful tour guide that gave us so much time today on our tour of Colombo and a great insight into the city. We had so many questions for Indika and he was able to answer them all with so much knowledge as a guide , gemologist and local. This tour gives such a valuable insight into Colombo as a city and definitely don’t skip it as it broadens Sri Lanka as a whole. He brought us around gangarama temple and explained everything inside it and the history behind everything which was fascinating. The tour around the park , seeing all the trees was just such a treat. Do not go to an unregistered guide for a tour it really will not offer the same experience

The tour was amazing! Indika is not only super professional and knowledgeable he’s an amazing person to be around and share this time in Colombo. The group was great and ended making some friends. If you just arrived in Sri Lanka or only have 1-2 days in Colombo, he’s your guy! Absolutely worth it and can’t wait to do another tour around the country with him.

Indika has been welcoming since the very start, proactively reaching out to make sure everybody would know the place and time of the meeting up point, he has been a caring guy all along, giving us tips on how to avoid scams and any other possible issues. His extensive knowledge made it so that it felt like a tour of Sri Lanka through the history of Colombo. He has impressive commands of historical dates and facts, but encourages an open-ended approach where he answers what you are interested into asking, while still sharing key facts. He has also given recommendations to specific areas of Colombo and Sri Lanka where it would be best to go for specific requests (for example: where to hike, where to purchase stones vs a massage with traditional techniques). We totally recommend going to a walking tour with Indika! We covered the majority of Colombo’s architecture and history in less then five hours!

I had the best tour with Indika! He reached out on WhatsApp to explain that it was only me that signed up but he was still happy to go ahead which I appreciated. Indika’s tour was both informative and engaging - I learnt so much about Colombo and the history of Sri Lanka. Thanks again Indika!!

Hoy hemos hecho un tour por Colombo con mi pareja y la experiencia no ha podido ser mejor. El recorrido ha durado más de tres horas y se nos ha pasado volando gracias a lo ameno e interesante que ha sido todo. Nuestro guía ha sido muy amable, atento y cercano desde el primer momento. Nos ha explicado la historia, la cultura y los lugares más importantes de la ciudad con mucha pasión, respondiendo a todas nuestras preguntas y adaptando el tour a nuestros intereses. Ha sido un auténtico gustazo descubrir Colombo de esta manera. Sin duda, recomendamos esta experiencia a cualquiera que quiera conocer la ciudad de una forma agradable, completa y con un guía excelente. ¡Muchas gracias por hacer de este día un recuerdo tan especial!

Indika is a fantastic guide. He is incredibly knowledgeable, caring, interesting and fun. He took just me and my wife on a fascinating 3 hour walk around Colombo. We learnt a huge amount and got a real flavour of the city. I'm a chef and he introduced me to lots of fantastic street food. Highly recommend

Indika was the best choice we could have made four our tour around Colombo. He knew a lot of things, answer all our questions and was helping on everything we needed. With him we discovered the real Sri Lanka! If coming back would definitely repeat a tour with Indika!!! Thanks!!
