Too much travelling

Jayne_G, Mar 2024
Firstly the guide left us sat waiting outside the port for 30 minutes without coming over to check it was us. He gave no commentary during the drive, it was a long drive to the turtle hatchery which was over 2hrs. Bentota river safari was excellent but that was due to the boat driver and guide, lunch was excellent. We changed the tour to have longer at the river safari then go to a local beach rather than Galle as it was over an hour away then we'd have the long drive back to port, I think they tried to do to much in this tour and most of it was travelling.

Rajv was a great driver...
