Galle Dutch Fort

The Galle Fort, or Dutch Fort as it is also known, is a fortification first built by the Portugese on the Southwestern coast of Sri Lanka. The initial fortifications, which were built in the late 16th century, were quite basic. According to a statement by UNESCO the site was recognized as a World Heritage Site for its unique exposition of an urban ensemble which illustrates the interaction of European architecture and South Asian traditions from the 16th to the 19th centuries which is the criteterion number four for such recognition.

    We upgraded our previously booked group tour to private tour and had a great time and visited Galle fort in a nice and comfortable car, the driver Aron picked us up from hotel on time then we stopped at the Turtle Hatchery and enjoyed the visit especially my 4 year old daughter, took lots of pictures and saw feeding the turtles.. Then we went to the sanctuary for a boat trip but decided not to go in the end and went down to Galle as we wanted to be back to Negombo before sunset and my daughter wanted to spend some time playing at Negombo Beach. Overall it was a good tour and I will recommend it to my friends. The only thing I will recommend that's why I am not providing excellent rating is to share the costs of all the excursions upfront e.g., Madu river boat safari cost (we found out after reaching there)
