Colombo Cruise Reviews

Colombo was a lovely little city, Shuttle bus from container terminal to main port entrance. Be prepared to haggle. ...

Get off the coach at the port gates, where the staff are very helpful ,rather than to the government gift shop where you will be bullied by swarms of tuk tuk drivers in an organised sting. Once you escape this, Colombo is a delightful, safe, clean city and easy to navigate by yourself by tuk tuk. Don’t miss Petta Market and the waterfront. Transit visa can be done on board - free online. US$ ...

Same as before Not really save for tourists unless you are very savvy and experienced Complimentary ships bus to yet another shopping centre. Nice shopping centre but who wants to travel half way across the world to go to a modern shopping centre Not us a,! ...

Not allowed to get off the ship. Only allowed to dock for refueling and stores. ...

Transport to the gate ok, but after the gate annoying taxidrivers that want you in their Tuk Tuk's. Bad experience. ...

Waste of time, so humid. Did a,private tour which was not worth the extra. ...

I think we would have done better to be on our own. We too a bus tour of the city - silly.Did visit a wonderful Buddhist temple. ...

A fascinating part of the world. It was exotic and the excursion wonderful. This was only the second chance to shop during this cruise. ...

City walking tour - lovely guides, and well organised. ...

Again we organised a private trip, this time through Viator. A private car met us at the port and took us to a local mosque and temple, then onto a tea tasting before driving out of the city to a tea plantation and tea factory. Colombo is a very busy city so the chance to organise a trip to a place many miles away is not to be considered if you want to catch the ship! ...
