Last minute cancellation by the operators for dubious reason.
I didn’t have the experience of going because it was cancelled on me after I had stayed up late into early morning (2am) to make sure that they contact me for “meeting location”. Mind you, I had booked this tour days ago, and extended my stay in Colombo specifically for it. Well, finally, it was a text “very bad emergency” with no specific explanation. I m not sure if I believe the story because another cooking tour also had canceled on me for SIMILAR REASON. And both AT THE VERY LAST MINUTE. My extra stay for these tours and now I have nothing to do, just a waste of my time and expenses because I had already done other tours and it is a Sunday, a day of rest & family time. Most everything closes. suspect that they cancelled on me because I m going solo and they have found more people to fill a group. More money for them at my expense. These operators are not reliable! Why not just close the tour for not enough participants before anyone can book & set their plans. Why fabricate a story. “Mom/dad in the hospital”, “Brother’s hurt”, “bad emergency”… less harmful karma, just to be honest. I am not being uncharitable nor uncaring, but one similar story after another after long avoided-communications / “ghosting”, one has to question. I am very angry because my plans basically ruin and I feel like I am being make a fool off or duped . If it is true that their loved ones are sick, a bad emergency,… I pray that everything is well and their gods are watching over them.
Response from the operator: This is not true, we didn’t had any booking from you. Please don’t tell Lies. Please show up your booking with us. Maybe you got booking with someone else not with us. Viator, please check our booking that we didn’t had any booking for 7th. But we had a booking for 8th for 4 people we had amazing time with them. Please don’t publish this review it’s not true or something else. Thank you

Best experience in Colombo
We had the best market tour and cooking class with Piumi and Susantha. A lovely husband and wife duo who are so passionate in sharing their country's cuisine and culture. We started with a market tour at one of the markets and learnt about the ingredients and fresh produce used to make our meal. We got to pick our own side vegetables at the market and it was such a fun idea as we got to try vegetables that we never get in Hong Kong. All the spices used in the dish are all homemade which shows the quaity and care they put into their work. The husband also runs a tour company and is very knowledgeable about the country and the city. Highly recommand everyone to book the class while you're in Colombo! P.S. They also have the cutest dog who will assists you with the class.

Highlight of our trip!!!!
I would really recommend this experience to anyone who spends time in Colombo. Piumi is just the loveliest, kindest teacher and both my partner and I learnt so much from her! The food that we cooked was delicious and we made 12 different curries/dishes in about 3.5 hours. Piumi also makes her own chilli and curry powders, and provided us with a recipe book - so I can make the recipes at home too :) I would absolutely go for this experience if it’s something you are thinking about !
Response from the operator: Dear Clara, Thank you so much for your great feedback for us. We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed our Authentic Srilankan Cooking Experience. Hope to see you again

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Market Tour With Cooking Class by Colombo Cookingclass: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Colombo.
How much does Market Tour With Cooking Class by Colombo Cookingclass cost?
+
Prices start at $77 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 Market Tour With Cooking Class by Colombo Cookingclass take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Market Tour With Cooking Class by Colombo Cookingclass worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 11 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 Market Tour With Cooking Class by Colombo Cookingclass?
+
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 Market Tour With Cooking Class by Colombo Cookingclass suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Market Tour With Cooking Class by Colombo Cookingclass?
+
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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Market Tour With Cooking Class by Colombo Cookingclass 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.
