Where to buy excursions in Lanka in Colombo?
I want to buy a 3-day tour of central Lanka upon arrival in Colombo. And so that after that they would immediately bring them to Hikkaduwa to the hotel. And preferably with a Russian guide! Is it real at all?

Yes, ask online. When we were looking for such proposals, there were quite a few. A comfortable car is offered (we had a Toyota). The driver himself, he is also a guide, speaks Russian, but he is still more of a driver. We took a one-day excursion, and friends took a 3-day one. Everything is standard there, the same worked out routes. Another couple, from our hotel, went on a 5-day excursion straight from the airport. They had a great guide here. They also found it online. Google is here to help you :)

you can't guess here. The one with whom we went, so the reviews were so laudatory ... but in fact ... it sucks. Yes, he spoke Russian perfectly, but ... in the pursuit of money, he practically did not sleep and was asleep and there was a feeling that the guy was invigorating with something. His eyes were red. Honestly, it was creepy. The tour guide is useless. He brought us to our destination, handed us over to the guide, and then everything depends on this guide (their guides were everywhere except for a huge park with trees-plants (I forgot the name). They asked several times along the way to stop near fruit shops ... I only stopped there where they apparently make baksheesh for him, everywhere there were excuses like we were in a hurry, they would deceive us, not that .... and then two hours after my request, he stops near a large shop, where the prices for urukts were 2-3 times higher than we were driving ( were written on cardboard and when they stood somewhere, I had the opportunity to study what came into view.) His role was limited to the fact that he brought us to our destination

If you are without children, it is better to go on an excursion either directly from the airport, or at the end of your vacation and you will be brought to the airport. So many did and were very pleased, because the road to their Hakaduwa (we also rested there in tea trance) is very long and long. We were with my son and somehow did not dare to go for a few days, we took a one-day trip. Tea plantations, boat garden, Kandy, waterfalls. We left at night, returned at night, watched everything running and running. They themselves refused the elephant house, maybe in India, Thailand they saw elephants many times, etc.

We generally fly with children. Therefore, we want a not very intensive program of the day for 3, at the beginning of the rest. Yes, and I want a full-fledged program in Russian.

xeops in colombo is not worth staying. The chance to get a Russian-speaking guide is not very big, even if they promise a Russian-speaking one. Sri Lankans are easily deceived in this regard.
Drive from the airport directly to the beach part of the holiday, there you will already find a driver with a car for three days, he will take you everywhere, and at the end he will bring you directly to the airport and you can fly away.
xeops, did not consider the possibility of flying to the Maldives with Sri? They are very close there.

If I'm not mistaken, a year ago my parents agreed on a three-day itinerary around Sri Lanka for $400.

I don’t remember that it’s about 250 (there is a lot of gasoline on the road), but for 3 days they wanted 450 ye, and for 5 days they said that they gave about 700 (there was everything, with temples, plantations, waterfalls and td for 2 adults, but it also depends on the saturation, what you will watch what is not, entrance fees, a guide, etc. are included or not. Those are all individually discussed. For example, a temple complex where it is proposed to meet the dawn with children is definitely not worth it, maybe friends said that the steps are very uncomfortable and steep and accompanying persons are given to support ... (for a fee) But we went to Sri Lanka in November 2015, and at least we had a good rest, but it doesn’t even pull me to Sri Lanka, even when I MOT was offered burning for 800 ye ... so there was no desire to go there again. Everything could have already changed both in terms of prices and in general. All offers for guides were through VK

I recommend the guide Suranga (Suranga), look for his contacts on the forum of the one whose name is on the name and on tripadvisor, they definitely were. The guide is good, speaks Russian perfectly, with a sense of humor.

In December 2017, we took excursions to the South Wind travel agency in Colombo. The office is located on the tourist street, in the center. There is a driver - separately, a guide - separately ...))) The guide studied in Russia, speaks Russian well (I forgot his name). 150 dollars for 2 days - to Mount Sigiriya (we saw a varanchik near it), the Dambulla cave temple, the sacred Boji tree ...))), a botanical garden with a tree planted by Yuri Gagarin himself; $ 120 for 2 days - along the beaches of the south coast, a turtle farm (children will love it), a boat trip along the river, a walk along the sea - see whales (and really saw! Yes, and turtles swimming in the sea, far from the coast), sightseeing ancient fort Gale (Portuguese like...))), a monument to the victims of the 2004 earthquake.... Minivan, Toyota. What bribed in such excursions - no need to fuss - as much as you want, see the sights as much as you want. Well, in general, we liked it!

moroshenka, thank you! But somehow very cheap. 150 and 120 dollars - is it for the driver + guide, for each of the tourists or for the car as a whole? I didn’t find the “South Wind” on the Internet, neither in Russian nor in English.
Ollennka, is this Suranga similar to yours https://www.facebook.com/Dinesh.Suranga.SriLanka/ ? And here's another one on Tripadvisor, but without photos https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g293962-d13317733-r590975203-Travel_Sri_Lankan_Tours-Co lombo_Western_Province.html
