The Colombo City Tour, a unique venture by Sri Lanka Tourism and Ebert Silva Holidays offer exclusive and mesmerizing evening tours to both foreign visitors and Sri Lankans to view Colombo like never before during Vesak, on board its unique open deck double decker buses.

The tours would commence from Galle Face Hotel on three memorable evenings of May 24, 25 and 26. Schedule for approximately three hours, the city tours will sightsee numerous colorful Vesak zones, many Pandols and other vibrant activities scattered across the city.

The tickets will be priced separately for upper and lower deck seating with snacks served on board while on tour.

The Vesak Tours on board the Colombo City Tour open deck double Deckers have been a specialty eagerly looked forward to by the young and old alike, now for many years.

"Two open deck double decker coaches and two closed deck double decker buses will be in operation during this Vesak season. This is taking into account the many we had to turn down during last year.

It is a time of spiritual festivity and this Vesak will undoubtedly light and liven up the city of Colombo which is now opening up into a beautiful garden city." said Rajini de Silva Mendis, Managing Director, Ebert Silva Holidays.
