Walking experiences.

thambili tours

Walking tours have become the best way to understand the environment that you are travelling.

The GFW approach to a walking tour is what sets it apart from a regular show and tell tour.

This is a conversation driven experience where the traveler can satisfy his or her interest in the Galle Fort by meeting an open minded Sri Lankan who has a common interest in travelling the world. The travelerʼs interest can range from History, architecture, culture, to street food. The experience will take shape based on the people in it.

Kids Treasure Hunt

thambili tours

This is a picture based treasure hunt that is conducted for children between the age of 10 and 3, simultaneously to the walking experience with adults.

This has worked as a great activity for kids to get involved with the Galle Fort, and has become quite the hit with families that travel with their kids.

Art Experiences

thambili tours

This is once again an add-on to the Walking experience that is exclusive for families with kids. The idea here is to create an activity which involves and reveals Sri Lankan art, while also providing the travelling family with a memorable souvenir which has their own craft in it.

Lankan Culinary Experiences

thambili tours

This happens inside the premises of a middle class family kitchen, who take a lot of pride in what comes out of their kitchen. This experience could be a 5 hour cooking program led by the lady of the house or a simple meal in the porch area.

We try to bring out old, forgotten Lankan secrets and traditions that happen in a kitchen. We educate the Traveler with an overview of what Lankan food comprises of with a visit to the local market. Later we reveal how the magic happens inside a Lankan Kitchen, with their participation. All this will end with a well deserved meal to remember.

I really enjoyed the vacation with my family. Rome was amazing, and we went to see all the great historic landmarks. My little girl Rosa loved the Colosseum. Thanks for the great tour, will be travelling with you soon!

JENIFFER PALMER

We’re really happy that you had us fly in to Venice first, because that gave us a few days to adjust to the time change before our longer days in Rome… We loved Venice though, and wished we would’ve spent more time there!

MARY & GEORGE

The trip exceeded our expectations. We had a wonderful tour guide and driver. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wanted to see Scotland in depth. Thanks for all your work in putting this tour together.

Experience the heart of colombo! 

Guided city walks .

thambili tours

Colombo Walks is a small family run initiative which offers an enhanced experience to both locals and visitors that truly bring out the vibrant colours and deep history that lies at the heart of Colombo.

Colombo Walks is a great way to experience the heart of the city in a fun and fit way.

Rather than travelling in comfort on a tour bus, bounce around in tuk tuks or other motor powered vehicles that pollute the environment we promote a type of tourism that is environmentally friendly, sustainable and educational for all age groups and fitness levels.

It is our hope that the structures and stories that stand as a legacy to Colombo continue to be remembered and passed on to future generations.

Colombo expert Harold Sandrasagara leads daily walking tours of the historic precincts of Fort and Pettah that last 2½ to three hours. He provides insights into these fascinating areas that you could never discover on your own. Tours (which include a stop for a snack) leave from the Dutch Hospital; book in advance.

To begin with you will have to take few steps forward on our tour in order take a step back and re-visit the birth of Colombo.

There are very few people who would know the beginnings of Colombo or as us Sri Lankans say ‘Kolamba’.

The hustle and bustle of city life creates an environment in which time seems to pass quicker. Progress and Economic Development slowly but steadily hide the true essence and character of a city and before you know it the history, culture and architecture that a great city was built on is soon forgotten. We at Colombo Walks plan to keep this rich heritage alive!

The tours start daily at 6.45am at the entrance to the old Dutch Hospital precinct.

Capture the essence of Colombo as the sun rises at the Colombo Lighthouse. Learn about the Arab, Portuguese, Dutch and British Colonizations, all of whom foresaw the potential of Colombo with its own natural harbour and of course the strategic location of Sri Lanka as a major shipping route between the east and west with its close proximity to India.  Each of these colonies left a part of history behind in Colombo like the Lady Ward Clock Tower and Fort Railway Station.

Taste a freshly cut King Coconut or ‘Thambili’ as its locally known and engulf yourself in the sights, sounds and smells of the Pettah Bazzar while you walk down Main Street and see the morning come alive as people set up shop. Visit curiosities like the Largest Chandelier in South East Asia and view some of the ancient coins of Sri Lanka.

The Grand Red Mosque better known as Jami Ul Alfar Mosque seem to truly transport you to another time.

These are just a few of the stops we make on our tour.

Finishing up the walk is just as exciting as starting the walk. A hearty Sri Lankan breakfast awaits and before 9am you would have a few more memories to hold onto.

We Love Colombo - so for the people of Sri Lanka let us continue to remember the beginning of our vibrant city and its heritage. And for our guests from around the globe spread the word and share what you learn with the world.

Some would say that Colombo Walks is a journey of discovery and others a journey of re-discovery.

“ “There is no better way to experience a city than walking through it and becoming part of it!”... ”

TripAdvisor

At Colombo Walks we don't have guides. We have Harold!

Born in the very heart of Colombo, Harold has grown up with Colombo and seen its urbanization. An avid player of soccer and cricket he has played in the very streets you will walk down. 

A retired businessman, striving entrepreneur and the soul of Colombo Walks, he is enthusiastic about sharing his city with you and at the same time re-visiting the memories of his childhood. Communication is key as you walk down the backstreets of Colombo and Harold speaks fluent English, Sinhalese and Tamil.

There are places in Colombo that are secret in a way that only the people that grew up in the heart of Colombo would know so without further ado let Our Harold show you Our Colombo on your walk!

酒店交通便利,可以比较方便看印度洋日落。 酒店是一栋西式建筑,管家说有300年历史,家具是200年历史的老古董,我很喜欢家具上面的雕花,非常精美、传神。 管家非常贴心,入住前提前帮我们打开了房间的空调。早餐的时候还贴心地播放了中国音乐,在西式建筑里听中式音乐还挺好玩的。 房间很精致,床很特别,打开窗户可以看到院子里的一棵鸡蛋花树,可以一边泡澡一边欣赏美景。 酒店的晚餐很好吃,摆盘很漂亮。 小镇里可以逛一逛,喝一喝咖啡休闲一下。小镇有一家冰激凌店一定要试一下,很惊艳。

Wonderful private retreat in a hotbed of tourists.”

Very small, private hotel inside Galle Fort with friendly and helpful staff. A small interior courtyard pool that is very inviting and the home like public rooms are beautifully and tastefully decorated. My room had a private veranda that looked out on the rampart. The room and bath were large and well appointed and the bed very comfortable. I was delighted with staying there.

A beautiful home”

Thambili house is a beautifully restored manor home. The rooms have four poster beds and stunning antiques and features around the property. The staff are discreet and very hospitable. Dining options though are limited and take very long, so order ahead if you are hungry!

Exceptional”

Beautiful unique property. The rooms are large and the entire place is furnished beautifully. The place was run by 1 guy and he tended to our every need. We enjoyed taking a dip in the pool everyday and it was incredibly relaxing enjoying a traditional sri lankan breakfast beside the pool in the morning.

This is an exceptional hotel with good food and really helpful staff. ”

Just three rooms means it feels very personal.

This is a popular property. Don't miss out!
