EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE OF SRI LANKA WITH CEYMUNDO
Ajeet and his team planned an excellent 2 week tour covering the major cities and attractions. They took very good care of our grouo of 14 . The tour bus used was excellent with good air-condition and the driver Siri is a very careful and considerate driver . Choice of hotels were excellent and were 4 and 5 star standard . We are very happy with the level of service provided by the Ceymundo team and would not hesitate to recommend this agency to anyone wanting a good tour arrangement for Sri Lanka . Very memorable and one one of the best vacations we ever had . Terence Lim

Great local tour
On time and on topic with a very informative tour. From start to finish local knowledge and experience left us well informed

Great team, warm courteous and very helpful
Ajeet and his team were warm, courteous along with knowledgeable about the places they took us to visit. The cars were impeccably maintained, they went out of their way to make our visit as comfortable as possible. Will highly reccomend their team. We travelled Colomob, Negombo, Nuwara Elliya and Udawalawe with their team.

Fun and Educational
Ajeet was a professional, friendly, and competent guide. I learned so much about Sri Lankan history. Ajeet provided thoughtful answers to my questions even my questions on issues that could be construed as a bit controversial. He also provided historical context, where applicable, to explain the current state state of affairs of a given issue or topic. The only problem with this tour was me. I had limited time so I ended the tour prematurely. If you book a tour with Ajeet, don’t cut it short like me.

6 hour tour from a very knowledgeable guide.
Ajeet is very knowledgeable and was happy to adapt tour to suit our interests. We felt we got a really good overview of the city and saw both the old and new parts.. He covered the interesting history of Sri Lanka before we went out so that we would understand the background to what we would see and we travelled round by tuk tuk. , car and walked. Would highly recommend

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour of Colombo with Ajeet De Soyza: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Colombo.
How much does Private Tour of Colombo with Ajeet De Soyza cost?
+
Prices start at $65 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 Private Tour of Colombo with Ajeet De Soyza 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 Private Tour of Colombo with Ajeet De Soyza worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 Private Tour of Colombo with Ajeet De Soyza?
+
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 Private Tour of Colombo with Ajeet De Soyza 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 Private Tour of Colombo with Ajeet De Soyza?
+
Around 2 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 Private Tour of Colombo with Ajeet De Soyza 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.
