Itinerary

  1. Travel back in time to the gaslight era with its smoky bars, shiny wooden veneers and close private gatherings in this four hour evening walking tour to some of the most famous colonial bars in Colombo Fort. Rest your arms on the aged wooden bar-tops with a glass of strong Sri Lankan Arrack or some other such fine local liquor in hand. Laze off to the soft murmur of music as you listen to the history of the Colombo Fort area. Crunch through spicy Sri Lankan tapas and other local snacks that accompany your drink. Finish off with dinner at a street food stall selling popular local delicacies. A wonderful relaxed evening for alcohol aficionados. Please note that this tour is strictly for adults due to alcohol consumption playing a major part.

About Colombo

Colombo is Sri Lanka's largest city and commercial capital, where colonial landmarks, Buddhist temples, busy markets and a seafront promenade meet.

Galle Face Green, a long seafront lawn, fills with families, kite flyers and street-food stalls as the sun sets over the Indian Ocean. Nearby, the Fort district keeps colonial buildings such as the Old Dutch Hospital, restored as shops and restaurants, and the red-and-white striped Jami Ul-Alfar Mosque rises over the crowded market streets of Pettah.

Top-ranked sights in Colombo: Gangaramaya Temple, Galle Face Green, Independence Square.
