Deshan was a wonderful...

Deshan was a wonderful tour guide, and showed me all around Galle and the surrounding areas. We were able to visit a number of places including some local beaches, the Galle Fort, a beautiful jewelry store, and a turtle hatchery. Everything was made so convenient and easy, and Deshan went above and beyond to ensure I had an enjoyable and fun day. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wishing to maximize their time in Galle.

Ielyzaveta_V, May 2026

Great trip, a little challenging climb

The trip was absolutely fantastic! Baby elephants were the highlight of our trip! Now, climbing Sigiriya rock was a little difficult due to humidity and heat. I recommend doing this tour in December - January, when Sigiriya region is more cool. I also wish lunch was a little better, had buffet option. Overall, the trip was fantastic. Highly recommend!

Andreas_S, Mar 2026

Great tour, recommended!

A fully packed day, you really get a lot for your money here! We visited 3 different places, all were amazing. My favorite was actually Sigiriya, but also the other 2 stops were really good and worth to visit! I would definitely recommend this tour, great value for money! Just a minor advice: You can book a tour guide at each of the sights, and imo, they are not really worth it. Just enjoy for yourself and read the signs!

An amazing tour! Must do in Colombo.

Amazing! We loved this tour and it was an excellent, informative and fun way to see Colombo with a local! Oliver was excellent, and his knowledge of the history and local culture really made us fall in love with Colombo. We discovered places we would never have found ourselves. The Hindu temple, delicious coffee and local markets were the highlights for us. Everything was covered in the tour including some delicious food, coffee, sweet treats and a drink at the bar. A definite highlight of our stay!
