Day trip from Colombo to Galle

5.00Yesterday, we took the ride to Galle from Colombo with our expert driver, Manoj. He’s very courteous, most knowledgeable, and has an excellent car, making it very - super comfortable. Plus, he took us on time to each designated attraction on-the-dot and returned us early to give us back some most valuable time before we took rest for the next day. The boat safari was wonderful. He also took us to the Sanjeevini Parbat, a turtle sanctuary, the famous Dutch fort, to see stilt fishing, and helped with some sumptuous tropical fruits of our liking. Overall, the trip was most comfortable and enjoyable. I’d most highly recommend Manoj.
A excellent tour

5.00Fabulous from start to finish. We thoroughly enjoyed spending time with our lovely guide who was very knowledgeable and able to adapt the itinerary around the weather. We managed most of the day avoiding the rain thanks to his planning. He was thoughtful and kind as he stopped to buy us a cake to celebrate our wedding anniversary. A really nice gesture that was a great surprise! It was a long day but we got back to our hotel very happy with everything we had done!
Great tour guide and tour

5.00I had an amazing experience on the one-day tour yesterday, thanks to our fantastic guide Hetti! He provided attentive service and introduced me to some unique tastes, including spicy fruits, red bananas, and King coconut. His explanations were incredibly informative, delivered with patience and clarity. I learned so much about Sri Lankan culture and religion. Highly recommend this tour and our wonderful guide! He also took many amazing pictures for me

5.00Incredibly lovely experience - Manoj was the gentlest presence - so kind , thoughtful , informative and an excellent driver - Thé flexibility hé helped us navigate ensured we made the most of everything - my colleague and I strongly reccomend the trip in its entirety - every piece of it holds some special magic - we caught the ocean at her stunning best and the sky was a million shades of blue - enjoyed every single activity on the menu and feel deeply grateful for the chance to have visited the tsunami museum and offered our respects . Don’t think twice - dive into this beautifully crafted experience - Thé boat ride and the fisher folk in particular had our hearts . Manoj - was the heart and soul of the visit and you are in excellent hands with him ☀️
A wonderful 1-day tour!

5.00Great tour through a variety of southwest Sri Lanka. Kevin was a great guide, and helped us get exactly what we wanted for lunch. They offer to take you to some seller's booths, just decline them as they are not fun and apply a lot of pressure to buy nonsense.
Tour was great. Saminda...

5.00Shaminda was an excellent driver and a great guide for the day. He let us choose the itinerary as we went, so we could skip attractions we were not that fussed on. He gave us lots of information about Sri Lanka broadly and made us excited to come back again (this was a short trip).
