Description
Discover the fascinating city of Colombo on this exclusive private tour of Sri Lanka's largest urban area. A dedicated guide will cater to you and your companions, allowing you to tailor the itinerary according to your specific interests and desires.
Private Walking Tour in Colombo
Your journey commences with a pickup from your accommodation in either Colombo or Negombo at 9 am, setting the stage for a day of exploration in Sri Lanka's vibrant capital.
The tour typically starts at the Gangaramaya Temple, adjacent to Beira Lake, where you can marvel at the smallest Buddha statue in the world. Another highlight is usually a visit to the Temple of Sri Kailawasanathan Swami Devasthanam Kovil, recognized as one of the oldest and most significant Hindu temples in Colombo. Here, pause to admire its stunning towers, adorned with myriad colorful figures.
Your adventure continues as we stroll through the impressive Independence Square, home to the Commemoration Hall, a national monument celebrating Sri Lanka's independence from British rule in 1948. A leisurely walk takes us to the extensive Galle Face Green, a coastal park established in 1859 by Governor Sir Henry George Ward, originally for sports like horse racing and cricket. Nowadays, it serves as Colombo's most cherished seaside promenade.
Additional noteworthy sights along our route include the Lotus Tower, a towering 1,150-foot telecommunications marvel, the Bandaranaike Memorial International Conference Hall, and the tallest Buddha statue in Sri Lanka. We will also allocate time to explore Colombo's delightful jewelry and artisan shops, providing an opportunity to purchase a memento from your memorable visit.
Your tour concludes at 3 pm with a return to your accommodation.
