Colombo City Tour
Half day
Included with package
Enjoy a city tour of Colombo. The largest city and former administrative capital of Sri Lanka, it is a busy and vibrant city with a mixture of modern life and remnants of a bygone colonial era. Due to its large harbor and its strategic position along the East-West sea trade routes, ancient traders knew Colombo 2,000 years ago. However it was only made the Capital of the island when Sri Lanka was ceded to the British Empire in 1815. On this tour you will visit many of the historical, religious and commercial sites of Colombo including the historic and bustling Fort and Pettah, the elite residential Cinnamon Gardens, the Galle face Green, a church where Dutch tombstones constitute the floor panels, and much more.
