Colombo is one of South Asia’s most dynamic and rapidly evolving cities, a compact, layered metropolis where colonial heritage, Buddhist and Hindu sacred sites, colonial-era markets and a genuinely exciting contemporary food scene coexist in chaotic, wonderful proximity. This tour takes you through the city’s most compelling quarters with a local guide who knows its rhythms intimately, the chaos of Pettah market, the tranquillity of Gangaramaya Temple, the art deco grandeur of the Old Town and the street food stalls where you can eat better for five dollars than many restaurants charge fifty. All tastings, entrance fees, transport and the guide are included.
