Dulshan is the Best!
Dulshan provided exactly the tour that we wanted - a few tourist spots and lots of local insight. A highlight was a visit to a busy fruit and fish market including tasting of local fruits. Dulshan has an extensive knowledge of Sri Lanka and its history and he answered all of our questions well. Highly recommend!

Experience Sri Lanka in all its diversity and uniqueness with Travel Eat Love
Experience Sri Lanka in all its diversity and uniqueness with Travel Eat Love Dear Dulshan, Our journey through the beautiful country of Sri Lanka is now coming to an end, and we would like to use these last days to thank you for an unforgettable vacation. By chance, we came across you and your company “Travel, Eat, Love” online and immediately felt confident in your honest and competent manner. Even during our video call, you gave us valuable advice, which we gladly followed. Then the big day of arrival finally came. After a warm welcome, you introduced us to “Lucky” from your team. From that moment on, Lucky accompanied us for the next two weeks through this wonderful country. To put it simply, we could not have asked for anyone better than him. He showed us his country in a way no one else could have done. He let us see Sri Lanka through his own eyes, and we were more than happy to adjust the travel plans we had formerly based on his recommendations. With each passing day, our guide became a friend. Through him, our passion for this country grew even stronger. We fell in love with your country. We will recommend to our family and friends that if Sri Lanka is their travel destination, there is no way around you and “Travel, Eat, Love.” With you and Lucky, we felt like members of the family. You are amazing. Best regards, MARTINA & GERD.

Fantastic experience around Sri Lanka with Gomez and Lucky between 16 Dec to 24 Dec
Me with my extended family of 6 adults and 3 children used Gomez and Lucky as our driving companions with their cars. At no time we felt that they commercially engaged with us. They knew our diverse and common interests. We also gave them our own research and places to visit. They were perfect travel mentors, superb drivers and excellent driving companions. Me and my wife spent 7 days in Colombo, Sugiriya, Kandy. The rest went further for another 7 days. They were embodiment of the humble, simple, welcoming and joyful nature of all Srilanka people, particularly towards the tourists. They arranged a surprise birthday cake to my grandson that even stunned us let alone the grandson. We will use Dilshon’s company and Gomez and Lucki next time. Overall the government has done a commendable job of quickly clearing road blockages due to large landslides during storm only couple weeks before our arrival

Our excursion in Colombo, Sri Lanka was an excellent and memorable experience. The city itself was vibrant and full of culture, and the entire tour was very well organized. The absolute highlight was our tour guide — he was truly outstanding. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and highly professional, providing us with interesting insights about the city’s history, local traditions, and daily life. Thanks to his guidance, we were able to explore Colombo comfortably and confidently, discovering beautiful places we would not have found on our own. The tour exceeded our expectations, and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Sri Lanka. Overall, a fantastic trip with a top-class guide.

A great way to start Colombo tour: knowing the streets, food and people
Good mix of street food and sightseeing. It was our first tour after reaching Colombo, and it was a nice soft start. Our guide gave us a lot of tips that helped through the tour.

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Colombo City And Food Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Colombo.
How much does Colombo City And Food Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $95 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Colombo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Colombo City And Food Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Colombo is not rushed.
Is Colombo City And Food Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Colombo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Colombo City And Food Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Colombo City And Food Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Colombo City And Food Tour?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Colombo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Colombo and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Colombo City And Food Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Colombo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Colombo?
+
On Outty we rank every Colombo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Flexi dates on all 5 to 7 days packages for car and English speaking driver, Sri Lanka Personal Tour Driver in private vehicle, 08 Nights in Magical Sri Lanka. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Colombo?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Colombo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
