About this experience

Descendez du navire et plongez dans l'histoire riche de Colombo lors de cette visite privée de 7 heures, au départ et au retour directement au port. Votre chauffeur-guide anglophone vous conduit à travers la ville dans un véhicule climatisé, vous signalant les façades de l'époque coloniale côtoyant des tours modernes étincelantes, avant de s'arrêter au Musée national de Colombo et au vénéré temple Gangarama — tous deux couverts par les frais d'entrée inclus. Une bouteille d'eau est fournie par personne.

Des monuments emblématiques aux scènes de rue dynamiques, vous découvrirez l'histoire de Colombo à travers son architecture, ses légendes et ses espaces sacrés. Parce que la visite est privée, le rythme et les commentaires sont entièrement axés sur votre groupe. La nourriture, les boissons et les pourboires ne sont pas inclus, ce qui vous donne la liberté d'explorer les restaurants locaux à votre discrétion.
