Ebert Silva Holidays will operate Vesak tours on the Colombo City Tour, the city sightseeing service operated on open deck double deckers to showcase the city as it comes alive with colour and spiritual festivity during the Vesak season. The Colombo City Tour is a unique venture by Sri Lanka Tourism and Ebert Silva Holidays which has heightened the value of touristic experiences the city of Colombo has to offer to its visitors from around the world. Mesmerising Vesak tours through the city for both foreign visitors and Sri Lankans are organised from 14 to 18 May to view Colombo lit up in celebration like never before. Apart from the open deck double deckers air-conditioned luxury sightseeing coaches will also be available to view the city during Vesak.
The tours will commence from the Courtyard shopping precinct at 7 p.m. with an approximate tour duration of three hours. The city tours will sightsee numerous colourful Vesak zones, many Pandols and other vibrant activities scattered across the city. Tickets will be priced separately for upper and lower deck seating on the double deckers.
Vesak tours will have snacks served on board with live commentaries in English by professional Guides to explain and educate those on board of the religious and cultural significance of the various events, activities and decorations done in honour of this significant national religious celebration.
These Vesak tours on board the Colombo City Tour open deck double deckers have been a seasonal specialty eagerly looked forward to by the young and old alike, now for many years. It is also a wonderful time for foreign visitors to witness and experience a unique and colourful religious festival in Sri Lanka which brings together all communities in harmony, irrespective of their national and religious differences.
Two open deck double decker coaches and luxury air-conditioned coaches will be in operation during this Vesak season. Regular sightseeing tours in the city are operated daily with morning and evening tours during the weekends.
