    Lovely guy Nuwan collected us at 9 Great visit to turtle sanctuary and tea plantation, brief look at the sea fisherman and lunch at lovely beach. Unfortunately it then lashed rain for the rest of the day looking at sights from his little van was not the same! For 4 adults the van was too small and one of the guys was squashed in at the back but you get what you pay for and this one was a cheaper tour. Thank you Nuwan

    Nuwan was super friendly and helpful and gave us enough time to enjoy the trip and the nice blend between beaches, nature, Galle, tea plantation, turtles hatchery. He was constantly checking with us if we are fine and if we want to stop somewhere. We really recommend this trip to enjoy diversity of the south of Sri Lanka.

    A good day visiting a few sites on the way to Galle. Nuwan was a great guide and was happy to add the turtle sanctuary to our trip, which I would recommend. Also ask him if he’s available to take you on other trips, which we did during our stay.

    Nuwan was the perfect host! On our very first day in Sri Lanka, a mere four hours after we checked into our hotel, Nuwan arrived promptly at 9am to begin our wonderful tour. His vehicle was very clean and he was a very careful driver who safely transported us from our Colombo hotel to the Galle region. Our excursion began with a truly informative experience at the Tea Factory. It was very educational and enlightening and gave us a greater appreciation for the hard work involved in creating that soothing cup of tea. We then enjoyed a delicious curry lunch at one of the local cafes in the Galle district, recommended by Nuwan. The spices delighted our tastebuds, capped off with homemade Ginger Beer. A drive by a white sparking mosque, local beach and stilt fishing site added to our leisurely enjoyment. At day's end, we also stopped by Galle Fort and lighthouse for keepsake photo-ops. Despite the evening traffic, Nuwan returned us to our hotel safe and sound. We totally enjoyed the day's adventure and the opportunity to meet a new friend like Nuwan in Sri Lanka. We were so impressed by his professional service, warm smile and hearty chuckle that we promptly booked him for another full day tour a few days later.
