Going on a tour of the city of Colombo and other cities like ,Negombo,Pinnawala ,kandy and other places I can't remember the names in a private vehicle was really cool, I was opportune to visit the fi (Read More)sh market in Negombo,the St Mary's Catholic Church,the Negombo beach where I went on a private speed boat ride( paid for separately) as it does not come with your tour package) ,the Gangaramaya Bhudda temple and the Lotus tower which gives you a view from the top of the city of Colombo,very beautiful. I was also privileged to visit a home for Asian Elephants on day two where I was taught about these amazing animals,feed one and rode on its back and yes a reminder,come with a change of clothes as you can also sit on the elephant in a pool of water while it squirts water from its trunk on you , unfortunately I did not do that as I wasn't informed to come along with a change of clothes but nevertheless, I had fun. I also visited a tea factory and was shown how tea was produced locally from the tea plants and I also visited a herbs and spice garden.
Please note that entry into some major locations you have to pay by yourself and not the tour company so take note that you still have to pay entry fees .
In all ,it was a good experience,the Chauffeur,Mr Milfer was very polite and took me to places I could buy affordable and good food,Sri Lanka is a beautiful country and the people are very friendly, thanks to CEYLAN TOURS,it was a great experience.
