Colombo is a city that refuses easy categorisation, part colonial port, part modern metropolis, part layered South Asian neighbourhood. This full-day tour moves through its many faces, from the grand civic buildings of Fort and the atmospheric lanes of Pettah to the manicured seafront of Galle Face and the boutique galleries of Colombo 7. It is a city best understood on foot and through conversation, and this tour is designed to do exactly that.
