Delicious Ceylon - We have been on food tours in France, Greece, Peru, Madeira and The Philippines but Devi's tour was definitely the best so far. The quality of the food and venues were amazing. Devi's attention to detail and passion for her work are what sets this tour apart. We would definitely recommend.

A great guided tour with very good local specialities - We booked the culinary tour with Devi due to the many good reviews. We can only confirm these in any case. The tour began with culinary treats from Sri Lanka before the tour of the city began. After a coffee break, it had a fish plate at the end. Devi told us about everything worth knowing and was very warm. We can highly recommend the tour!

Great way to experience the Galle Fort - Went on this tour with the family and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Devi selected a wide assortment of food for us to sample. Bring your appetite as there was plenty to eat at multiple high end restaurants. The evening setting in the old fort adds to the experience as it is a bit cooler and the sunset was spectacular. The visit to the gem factory was an unexpected highlight, watching artisans working at crafting high quality jewelry. Devi’s enthusiasm and love for her country is apparent and her conversation and knowledge enhances the experience.

A fantastic foody walking tour with a wonderful host! - Top quality food and drink (and plenty of it!) with an excellent host who was warm and welcoming and very informative. Galle is a beautiful UNESCO town and it was great to explore it with Devi who covered all the key attractions and entertained us with stories from her childhood. We also got to see some local crafts. Recommend you ensure you are hungry and have plenty of time to enjoy the experience. This was day 1 of our holiday in Sri Lanka and Devi got our trip off to an excellent start - thank you!

A Fun Food Tour - Joined a food tour in Galle conducted by Devi. It was brilliant . We walked through the quaint hotels and little alleyways of Galle experiencing some unusual authentic Sri Lankan cuisine coupled with seafood dishes that I had never had before. She offered us a stiff arrack cocktail that made us very happy instantly.🤣 The finale was a seafood broth which was served with roasted garlic bread. This was supreme . Don’t forget to join Devis food tour if you visit Galle Sri Lanka .

Entertaining culinary delight!! - Devi is an excellent guide with many entertaining stories of growing up in Sri Lanka and has a wealth of information on the history and cuisine of the country. The food we tasted was amazing, I couldn’t pick a favourite as they all were very tasty., but if I had to, the cocktail at the beginning was a highlight. I would recommend Devi la tour to anyone passing through Galle Fort.
