Free walking tours in Colombo

Professional tour guide with plenty of knowledge about their culture, history. I liked the honest facts about all aspects of life, politics, education, religion, healthcare etc.

Had a great afternoon! Kapila and his friend were great guides, shared a lot of interesting stories and answered our questions :) 100% recommended!

Very nice guy!! Lovely morning spent with him

Great tour unfortunately we had to leave early but the guide was very good and gave lots of information

Kapila is an enthusiastic guide who gave us an interesting and knowledgeable tour, which included history of buildings, and lots of information on local trees and plants. Well worth doing.

Kapila was very engaging and his walk was very informative. He answered our many questions very well giving context to the politics, history and the significance of the place and the customs as well. Really enjoyed the walk. Thanks for the food recommendations as well.

Kalipa was very professional and very good with communication before the tour. He had a nice personality and was very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Colombo and Sri Lanka

Kapila was an interesting and knowledgeable Guru guide. I certainly gained a lot from his talk and will recommend it to anyone coming to Colombo.

Nice and informative tour of Colombo! Learned a lot about history of the country, landmarks and the fauna. Will recommend taking this tour both if your arriving or during your trip to Sri Lanka!

Kapila was great and very knowledgable, he spent time with the entire group and even spent a bit of extra time with us! The group was full of like-minded people who just wanted to experience Colombo and meet other people and learn about the culture. My favourite part was when we took a public bus together and learned how to actually use the bus system in Sri Lanka. And afterwards a bunch of us split off and had dinner together. Would recommend this tour to everyone!

Kapila was an excellent tour guide, he provided lots of interesting information and was very engaging and informative, would definitely recommend

A great way to have an introduction to Sri Lanka's history & meet other travellers. Kapila was friendly & clear. I recommend.

Great introduction of the area. Very informative and answered all questions we could ever have.

Freetour bastante informativo, Kapila fue bastante agradable y por lo general bastante ameno

Very surprising and comprehensive tour. Dives well into history, shows very unique things. Lovely experience

My wife and I joined Kapila’s 3 PM tour, it was just amazing! We have done free walking tours in so many cities around the world and I have to say Kapila’s Colombo free walking tour is one of the best ever. Not just the places we visited but the knowledge and passion that Kapila does the tour with is so heartwarming- he genuinely wants the tourists to have a great time learning about Colombo, and Sri Lanka overall. He patiently answers questions and engages with the tourists to understand their experiences. If you are in Colombo, do not miss Kapila’s free walking tour.

Our guru walk was extremely informative and well paced. Kapila had a wealth of knowledge to share and his passion for his country was obvious! After our tour he went above and beyond to guide people through the options on transportation and dining.

Es war eine sehr schöne Tour. Kapila spricht sehr gut englisch und er ist sehr freundlich, offen und hilfsbereit. Er hatte viele gute Tipps für Colombo und auch für das ganze Land.

Kapila is a really knowledgable, entertaining tour guide. Every fact was interesting and helpful to know. You could ask him any question and he would have the answer. Great, would love to do the tour again :))

Kapila our guide was very informative throughout the tour. The highlight for me were the markets!

I had a fantastic experience with Kapila as my guide in Colombo! He was extremely friendly, professional, and had an impressive knowledge of the city and its history. The tour was well-organized, and I especially appreciated his engaging explanations and insightful perspectives on Sri Lankan culture. Highly recommended!

Kapila is a lovely knowledgable tour guide who gave us a fantastic tour including lots of really interesting information about Sri Lankan independence, the current political and economic climate and the local fauna and flora in Columbo. The only down side was that we overran by an hour so by the time we reached Pettah Market it was mostly shut as the stall holders had gone to the Mosque to pray. Definitely have breakfast before you start and bring an umbrella as it’s a fascinating, but long, hot morning!

Kapila was an informative guide. The route he planned was a great way to see the highlights of the city and was timed well at each stop

Tour completo y ameno, nuestro guía hizo que se pasase muy rápido el tiempo contándonos la cultura del país. Recomendado 100%.

It is well worth taking this walking tour. Not only will you learn a lot of history and see a lot of great things, but you also get a real feel for Colombo. And the tour ends in a giant market area which was fascinating. Kapila took very good care of us, watching over us as we had to cross some streets where he actually stopped the traffic. He's very knowledgeable and articulate.
