However, there seems to be a ban on Muslim women to visit the mosque due to religious restrictions.

Overall, we had a great time in Colombo. We arrived by cruise and this particular bus was not allowed to pick us up at disembarkation, so we had to ride a shuttle to the entrance of the terminal. There was a little bit of miscommunication concerning this. Also, this is not a car/private tour, it's a small group riding on a small bus. The tour itself was great. Our guide Dhan did an amazing job taking us to the must-see spots in Colombo. He was very courteous, knowledgeable and accommodating and even helped our group stop at a bank to get cash out for shopping. Our driver was a safe driver and maneuvered through the city with ease.
