"Dulshan was more than pleasant and had amazing knowledge to pass onto us regarding Sri Lanka, Buddhism and other subjects. He treated us to local delights and left us with a local and wonderful impression of Colombo. "

"Where to begin?! Book Dulshan now! We ended up booking our tour after being in Sri Lanka for two weeks with a group. So we had already tasted many things. Dulshan tailored our tour so that we tried all new things. And they were incredible, delicious new things. In addition to the food part of the tour, Dulshan took us through parts of the city that we would have otherwise missed. His knowledge and passion are so wonderfully contagious. And he has a fantastic sense of humor as well. I can’t say enough good things. I’ve had many food tours over the years. Many. And this tour was tied with one other for my favorite. "

"Arriving on Queen Anne (it was its maiden visit to Columbo) we should perhaps have been more prepared for the changes to arrival location and timing before we arrived. To each change Dulshan responded very positively accommodating all of the changes promptly on every occasion. Worse was to come, on the day, the ship could not berth as the departing ship was not ready to depart. The delay started at 2 hours and then progressed to 3 hours and throughout Dulshan changed timings even pushing back an afternoon tour to fit both tours in. Finally we arrived and Dulshan delivered a wonderful tour, an excellent visit that will stay with us – what a star he is. Simple recommendation - book him if you need a professional, relaxed and informed tour of Columbo."

"Dulshan was AMAZING! We were a group of 6 coworkers, all in Sri Lanka for business and 5 of us had been before. He showed us new parts of the city and tailored it to our interests (we specifically wanted to shop in Pettah market). He and the van driver were so friendly, warm and accommodating. If you’re debating which guide, don’t! Dulshan’s your guy. I’ll be seeing him again for a food tour next time I’m back in Colombo. Thanks Dulshan!"

"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. "
