5Thank you Fara!
Fantastic day out from Galle. Fara was an excellent guide and an expert driver. If you’re deterred by the early start, consider that the earlier you get out the better the traffic.
5Had a great day with DANU
Had a wonderful journey with Danushka highly recommended in Unawatuna! He explained very well our tour A to Z. Thanks again 🙂🙂
5Great staff/ fair prices
Our tour today was wonderful. Our guide Lakshme was incredibly helpful, fun, and friendly 🎉, always going above and beyond to make us comfortable. He even took photos of us 📸 without being asked and was flexible with our needs. They provided water and umbrellas for everyone 💧☂️, which was such a thoughtful touch. He shared so many fascinating stories about Sri Lanka 🐘🌴, along with his own experiences, creating a light and positive atmosphere for the group. The car was comfortable 🚗, the driver was excellent, and the prices were very fair 💸. I definitely recommend this company if you're visiting Sri Lanka! 🌅
5Wonderful day tour
Wonderful day tour with our driver and guide Akila. Everything was timed perfectly. Loved the train journey and nine arches bridge. Decided to miss walking little Adams Peak preferring to visit the elephant orphanage. We were lucky to see wild elephants too. I would recommend this tour and Danu..
5A day full of fun through the most iconic Sri Lankan sites
The tour was full of fun activities in stunning sites. Starting with witnessing beutiful natural waterfalls and feeding the mokeys, to riding on the iconic Ella train all the way to the Nine Arches bridge. The restaurants we stopped at for breakfast and lunch were delicious and offered many options. The day ended in an elephant santcuary. It was touching looking at the elephants getting fed. The tour guide is very knowledgeable and explained us many interesting cultural and historical topics. Highly recommended.
4Great experience with a kind Russian group
It was a great trip, visited many cool places, and met kind people. But unfortunately, the tour guide spoke only the Russian language 😅

About Galle
Galle is a southern Sri Lankan port city whose Dutch-era fort, with ramparts above the sea, shelters cafés, churches and old merchant houses.
Galle Fort was started by the Portuguese in the late sixteenth century and extensively built by the Dutch in the seventeenth, and it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Inside its thick sea walls, people still live and work among Dutch-style houses, mosques, churches and small galleries. A circuit of the ramparts at sunset, passing the lighthouse and the clock tower, is the favourite local walk.
