So much delicious food! - We had a lovely night travelling around Colombo in a tuk tuk. Visited the food market for some King coconut, then onto several different local restaurants for a great variety of delicious food. Come with an empty stomach!

Explore the city and food with ease - Great way to see the city at night with lots of different food to try, places we would otherwise not have the confidence to try. Our guide was fun and enthusiastic and even helped us find a place to buy a hopper Pan !.

Great food, tour and guide! Fun thing to do in Colombo. - We had a great tour with Sanjay. His English was very good. We were able to pick our spice level with some of the dishes. It was fun to see how the dishes are made and how to eat them. We highly recommend this tour. Thank you Sanjay!

Friendly, informative Colombo food tour, delicious and memorable. - I decided to do a food tour in Colombo because I was overwhelmed by all the different foods and traveling on my own. I found this tour and they were very responsive, fitting me in the same afternoon with Hemi. He was punctual, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the food and culture, sharing lots of interesting information and helpful tips. We tried many dishes, including all the ones I was curious about like hoppers, kottu and so much more. I left very happy and very full! This was truly one of the highlights of my time in Sri Lanka, and I would absolutely book this tour again. Istuti!

Great way to see and eat your way through Colombo - Highly recommend this tour especially if you want a quick overview of local food and culture in Colombo. Hotel pick up was included and the TukTuk was very comfortable. My guide Hemi was wonderful. He explained all the food I ate and made sure I was eating enough! It felt like a good friend was showing me around the city instead of just a tour guide. We stopped by the local market, a museum, and a tea tasting in additional to all the food. Hemi also took tons of photos and videos of me without asking and that was appreciated! I always love doing food tours and this one was great. Recommend doing this when you’re in Colombo.

Nice overview of Sri Lankan food—come hungry. - The food was absolutely excellent and pickup was right on time at my hotel. I was paired with another solo traveler, which ended up being absolutely great. Our guide was new at the job and not super comfortable with English, so we didn’t get a lot of explanations about the dishes.

Good little food tour - This is a great short intro to Sri Lanka and I’d highly recommend doing this on your first day. First off, you get a lay off the land in terms of foods. Secondly, the Tuktuk ride is an added bonus for getting to see Colombo. I did this tour on my first day before starting a group tour and it was very helpful for the rest of my trip. The only downside for me was that compared to other food tours, I’d suggest maybe finishing with a dessert.

Not worth it - Always in the tuktuk, the food was below average, the places we've been to didnt even have pepper sinks, no toilets, its a waste of money
