Experience the best of
Colombo with Withlocals

"The Tasting Tour with Dulshan was wonderful. A great way to see many parts of Colombo we wouldn't have found on our own. Also ate at a variety of street food stalls and restaurants - all places that Dulshan eats at himself. We learnt a lot about Sri Lanka in general and Dulshan made a bunch of suggestions about where else to visit."

"We had an amazing personalised food & cultural tour with Dulshan, who went above and beyond to share his love & passion for his country's fantastic cuisine and culture. His tour just kept giving and it was more than we expected. Dulshan's enthusiasm was utterly infectious and we had a truly wonderful time with him on his tour."

"I had a great time on my food tour with Deegoda! He picked me up from my hotel in Colombo and took me to so many interesting places to try Sri Lankan food. Highlights included visiting a local market and trying different fruit and learning more about what they are all used for. I also really wanted to see some of the history of Colombo and visit the Mosque, and Deegoda accommodated all of that. I would highly recommend doing a tour with Deegoda! "

"Dulshan not only showed us the restaurants and street food stalls with typical, delicious food and drinks, but also told us a lot about Colombo and Sri Lanka itself. The rides in the tuk-tuk between the individual stations were really interesting and fun. We could ask anything at any time, whether it had to do with food or culture. In summary, we had a wonderful evening with many great insights and Dulshan was a very pleasant companion and guide."

"We had an amazing time with Dulshan, exploring places to eat in Colombo. He took us around in his car and drove us to some great local spots, where we could try many authentic Sri Lankan dishes. Dulshan is kind, personable and funny. We feel like we got to know him a bit during our short tour and are very grateful for all the information he shared with us. Don't hesitate to book with him 😊"

"We were in Colombo for one day on our cruise and booked the city highlights and food experience combo tour with Deegoda. We had very pleasant communication with Deegoda in advance, during which we easily customized the tour to our personal wishes. Deegoda gave us a very warm welcome, even going so far as to bring flowers for my wife. In his particularly charming manner, he showed us all the highlights of this incredibly chaotic city in a very clear and easy to understand English. At the local market in Pettah, he kept showing us new types of fruit and vegetables and explaining them to us, which we all tried. You notice at all times how much he loves his city and how much he wants to convey this feeling to his guests. The detours to local restaurants and food stalls were a special experience to discover and try the diverse cuisine. We found it extremely pleasant that Deegoda had no time restrictions; he was only satisfied when we had explored all the previously agreed stops, so in the end we were out for almost a whole day instead of the agreed 5 hours. We can highly recommend Deegoda as an absolutely top guide with his knowledgeable and lovely manner. "

"We highly enjoyed our food tastings with Muditha. He thoughtfully wove in history, culture, and world perspectives as we made our way through Colombo’s marketplaces and tasted vibrant flavors. The tour was highly interactive, and the tastings were varied and enjoyable. Lots of sweets but balanced with savories! Well done, Muditha!"

"…Dulshan is the guide you need! He is fun, knows good stories, shows you secret places and tries to make the tours a personal experience for you! We really enjoyed the tour with him!!!"

"Dulshan is friendly, engaging and knowledgeable and we had a fantastic first afternoon in Colombo with him tasting some fabulous food, and picking up some great Sri Lankan travel tips. We wish that we’d realised ahead of time that Dolphin has his own travel company as we have asked him to arrange the rest of our trip. "

"We had a fabulous day out with Sam. The tour was interesting. He showed us many aspects of Sri Lanka - historical, cultural, religious and the natural world. His English was impeccable. Having a driver meant that Sam’s focus was on ensuring that we had a great day. Sam was responsive to our needs & wishes. Thank you "
