“Wonderful Colombo by Jeep”

We organized our trip via FB and WhatsApp while on a cruise. Our lovely driver Manju was waiting for us at the port and in three hours, he took us to loads of interesting places in Colombo. We saw elephants in the park, Buddhist Temples, old town halls, colonial hotels, independence monuments, and more. Manju bought us coconut drinks and we had a cooler box of drinks to share too. A real treat. The jeep was comfortable and the driving was very safe. Manju's knowledge of Sri Lankan history was very informative and he dropped us back at the port at the agreed time and in plenty of time before the ship left port. I can recommend Colombo by Jeep to cruise passengers as an alternative to the cruise ship's excursions.

“So much fun”

An unforgettable journey through Colombo in a Land Rover (Landy) open-top vehicle, guided by Nishantha Abeysekara. Throughout your 3-hour tour, you'll be whisked away to iconic landmarks like Galle Face Green, The Old Parliament, Colombo Lighthouse, Dutch Hospital, Cargills building, and the Grand Oriental Hotel. But the adventure doesn't end there! You'll also have the chance to sip on a luxurious gold coconut! My favorite! This tour is a must for anyone seeking an authentic and exhilarating experience of Sri Lanka's capital city.

“Absolutely great tour!”

We booked a tour with only two hours' notice and were picked up by our guide, Manju. The tour was simply excellent. Manju drove us safely around many sites and attractions in Colombo, explaining the history and current relevance of each. Not only did he supply water, soft drinks, and beer but twice he stopped and bought local fresh fruit for us to try. At many points, he took photos of us at the sights. He paid entrance tickets where required and tipped a succession of doormen and caretakers to ease our entry to various off-the-map vantage points. The WWII jeep that I had requested was well-maintained and as comfy as it ever can be. (Only a jeep-nut like myself would notice the non-original engine note. A mechanic himself, Manjul had replaced the original jeep engine & gearbox with a sensible modern power train. Anyway, the jeep looked and felt as it should do.) At the end of our extensive tour, we were presented with a folder of info on many sites we had visited. An hour later we received a WhatsApp message with c.30 photos - a nice memento of a very good day. Highly recommended!

"Got a few hours to spare while in Colombo? "

Got a few hours to spare while in Colombo? Grab your hat and sunscreen and hit the road on a Colombo by Jeep tour. While you ride around downtown Colombo in an authentic classic Jeep you will get to see and hear about some of the hidden gems in the capital city. Our guide Nishantha, (company owner), took us on a fascinating tour of many of Colombo's historical buildings from the Portuguese, Dutch, and British colonial eras. I have been to Colombo at least a dozen times over the years visiting family and I had no idea about these places. Beyond getting access to the buildings, which is in itself cool, the tour also included some great commentary full of interesting tidbits complete with a book of historical reference photos, unlimited beverages, and a stop at the fruit stand for King Coconut Water. This tour was a blast and absolutely worth it!
