definitely one of the best guidings I've ever experienced

Indika is very caring about the comfort of his clients. He's calm, very friendly and takes his time very gently as in the end we were walking through the rain for nearly an hour. But he was still relaxed and sometimes waited for me to catch some streetfood. Additionally offering me some support and good advices for the rest of my journey to explore the whole Island. Thank you very very much!

We booked the tour with Indika to get an insight of Colombo, and this 100% worked out. It was a very entertaining & informative and without any unnecessary moments. He showed us through the history, the different parts of the city and the actual peoples life in Colombo. We totally recommend it!
