Once in a lifetime experience - I’ve traveled the world & this is absolutely the BEST tour & one of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had.
Prabhath is an exceptional guide: friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, professional & sincere. After spending his career in the hotel industry, he’s set out to create his own tour company. Armed with this knowledge & being from Galle, he knows everything & everyone!
I was the only one on the day’s tour (solo traveler) & I work in fashion, wanting to see some textiles along with local culture. He tailored my experience & we spent the day shopping, meeting elephants & turtles, & having a late lunch with his family. I can’t stress enough how special it was to be invited into his home & have his wife cook a delicious traditional meal for me. We ended with a sunset walk around Galle Fort.
If you’re considering another tour, look no further & book this one! I’ll be back and can’t wait to explore more of Sri Lanka with the lovely Prabhath.

Unforgettable Galle Adventure with a Fantastic Local Guide - “I had an amazing experience, thanks to Mr. Prabhath. He is incredibly accommodating, humble, and kind, always going out of his way to make our trip special. As a local from Galle, he knows the city inside and out, and his deep knowledge of its history really shone through. He even took us to a couple of hidden gems, like the mask museum, that weren’t originally part of the tour. He was great company, fun to chat with, always ready for a bit of banter, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable for my friends and me. I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Galle!

Brilliant day exploring the Galle area - We had an absolutely amazing day exploring the Galle area with Prabhath. He tailored the day to our interests.
Our day included elephants, silk factory & shop, wood carving, sea turtle conservation project, Koggala Lake boat ride, cinnamon farm, tea plantation, gem shop, & ending with a delicious dinner at his family home, cooked by his wife.
Prabhath even organised transport to Negombo the next day for us.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Prabhath 100 %
Thank you Prabhath.

Brilliant tour - This was one of the most genuine and caring tour experiences I’ve ever had. The host was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and made me feel safe and comfortable throughout the day. I have a gluten intolerance and unfortunately got sick during the tour — but he and his family went out of their way to take care of me with so much kindness. They even adjusted the tour to suit how I was feeling, which I deeply appreciated. On top of that, he treated me fairly, charging local prices instead of tourist rates — a rare and refreshing experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic and respectful tour in Galle.

Brilliant tour - Incredible!! We thoroughly enjoyed the private tour- highlight was easily the visit to Prabhaths' family home for a traditional Sri Lankan meal which was delicious and we felt so welcomed by his beautiful family. Prabhath was friendly, knowledgeable and kind with great tips and suggestions for the next part of our trip. The tour was great value for money considering how many things we managed to do in one day- handloom factory, jewellery factory, traditional meal in family home, turtle hatchery, herbal medicine garden, stilt fishing and tea tour!! What an amazing experience, highly recommend :)
