I am an avid traveller and I love exploring new places that are rich in diversity and Colombo being one of the places was a must on my bucket list. The city is majorly built by the dutch, British an d Portuguese and the colonial building of Colombo are a must watch.
Money worth tour to see the Colombo city. Amazing to hear the guide explaining the era's of the Pothugese ,Dutch and English . Enjoyed the birds eye view around .
