Practical tips before you book

Before you meet your guide in Colombo, it helps to decide:

  • Walking vs private car — distances and traffic feel different by neighborhood (Fort, Galle Face).
  • Ticket strategy — timed entries for headline sights should be booked early in peak months (Dec–Mar).
  • Food & energy — tell the guide about kids, elders, allergies and preferred meal length.
  • Language expectation — ask whether Cantonese (粵語 / Cantonese) is fluent conversation, not greetings only.
