We had booked an Uber tuk tuk to go to the market. This is how we met Yograj. He suggested we do the city tour which would cover main points of the city. So glad that we agreed to this offer. Was a very reasonable offer and he took us to all spots even extending beyond the agreed time limit to ensure we see all the places. Especially in the end, he ensured we reach in time to catch the sunset with the sea and train view. Would definitely recommend you to go for a city tour with Yograj

My partner and I work on cruise ships, and only had 1.5 hours to go out and explore. We called an uber Tuk Tuk, and we were extremely lucky to get Yoga. We asked if he could take us around the city and show us everything that a tourist should see. He was more than happy to help. He sped through the whole town, stopping momentarily to give quick history lessons on specific buildings and areas, and then letting us stop and take pictures at bigger more important monuments. He was an awesome guide and photographer, and truly went above and beyond to show us everything. He wasn’t pushy, didn’t try to sell us anything or stop at any shops. He got us back to the port with plenty of time to spare, and only asked for $10. If we ever come back to Colombo we will definitely be messaging him again!
Best experience in Colombo ! Good visit, tour and lunch recommendation.
Amazing tuk-tuk driver! Very friendly, kind and professional. He showed us many interesting places around Colombo and explained a lot about the city and local life. The ride was safe and comfortable, and the atmosphere was great from start to finish. We really enjoyed the tour and can highly recommend him to anyone visiting Colombo!

Yogarajah took my friend and I on a tour of Pettah and Fort. As a local travelling with a foreign tourist, we both enjoyed Yogarajah’s tour. He is a friendly, trustworthy and knowledgeable guide with a genuine enthusiasm for sharing his lived experience of Colombo. My friend was able to see the main sights of Pettah and Fort while I got to experience my hometown from his perspective.
