Galle is one of Sri Lanka's most populous cities. This beachside paradise in the southwest of the island is one of the most well-known in the entire country because of its historical significance. It served as the island's main port until the arrival of the Portuguese in the 16th century. While traveling, look out for fishermen selling their wares along the side of the road and take in the stunning green and turquoise beaches that line it. Tell our chauffeur if you wish to bury your toes in the sand. There are two possibilities regarding the origin of Galle's current name. You can have a unique experience while walking on Galle Fort by gazing down and taking in the view of the sea. You may take in the sunset over the fort in the evening. Once the sun has set, return to the port carrying priceless memories.

What To Expect

1

Colombo

Sri Lanka's capital city, Colombo, has a long history of serving as a port on ancient east-west trade routes that were successively run by the Portuguese, Dutch, and British. Its engineering, which combines pilgrim shrines with high structures and retail malls, is a reflection of that tradition.

    Very disappointing. I was promised: - 'a driver cum guide' but the amount of information he gave me you could write on the back of a postcard. Why don't you just call him a driver which is all he was - 10-12 hours for the tour. We were back at my hotel after 7.5 hours - Madu Wetlands boats were going to cost US$20. They were US$35 almost double the advertised price - a bottle of water for me in the vehicle. A minor point but indicative of this operator over promising, under delivering and providing misleading information

    A driver and a tour guide (from Apple vacations) picked me up from the hotel and we drove to a sea turtle preservation site near the ocean which was wonderful to see and experience, then a trip to Galle Fort where I walked all over the area near the beach, exploring its history and enjoying the wonderful views. The tour guide did a great job explaining the various sites, and accommodated all my requests. I had a wonderful time on this trip. Highly recommended.
