We had an excellent experience on the Colombo Social and Political Walk with Chami. She has a deep knowledge of Sri Lanka’s social and political landscape. She didn’t just show us the sights - she helped us understand the history, context, and complexities that have shaped the country. Her insights were thoughtful and nuanced, and she was happy to answer all our questions. We came away with a much richer understanding of the country. If you’re looking for more than just a typical tourist experience and want to really engage with the city’s past and present, this tour is absolutely worth your time. We thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly recommend it to others!
We had a very insightful and interesting time with Chami. It was really good to be given an economic, social and political background to Sri Lanka rather than focussing on cultural highlights. She is obviously, rightly, very proud of her country and as with all countries she is aware of its faults but also what makes Sri Lanka unique within Asia. Chami really engaged with all our questions - however idiotic some of them probably were. The time with her flew by and we could have easily gone on chatting for a few more hours. We love a city tour but this was so much more than an historic delve into the past. We highly recommend it!
