Wonderful experience - An unforgettable day in Galle thanks to Glen! We loved every moment - from the heartwarming turtle sanctuary and exciting boat safari to watching the iconic stilt fishermen in action. Glen, our great guide and driver, made the trip even better with his friendly vibe, smooth driving, and great local tips. Everything was perfectly organised, stress-free, and so much fun. Absolute 5-star experience!

Day trip from Colombo to Galle - Vidu, our driver, arrived in plenty of time and took us to so many interesting places between Colombo and Galle. He was chatty and knowledgeable. His driving was excellent and he knew where we were going and made sure we were well prepared and looked after. This was a very full day but if you’re limited on time you will see an awful lot in one day. Would recommend the tour but most of all Vidu,

Great way to spend a day outside Colombo - A great way to have a quick one-day our to Galle and surrounding areas from Colombo. Pickup from our hotel in Colombo was on time. The river safari and turtle conservation center costs are not included but both are good attractions, especially the river safari, which is very enjoyable. The car was clean and spacious and available privately for our family for the whole trip. Our guide Indika was very friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and very resourceful. He never rushed us at any location. Suggest to take the earliest possible tour time, as we started at 8am and by the time we ended at the last attraction (Jungle beach) it was already sunset. Highly recommended if you have limited time to spare.

Outstanding day out. - What a wonderful day. We spent the day with Glen who is very friendly and well informed. We chose not to do the turtles or the boat ride as we wanted to take our time at the port of Galle. There was also a quick stop off to a Buddhist temple that we spotted. The flexibility and the patience was well notice. Our second tour from this company and we are very happy with the service. A great introduction to life in Sri Lanka.

This was a very nice... - This was a very nice tour, but also very long due to the distance from the port. Overall it was good, except that the boat ride safari, in our opinion is not worth the cost or the time. Very little is seen.
Also recommend that for additional costs not included in the price of the tour, information be provided in the tour description and identify where credit card is not accepted, so that sufficient cash is available.

Southern Sri Lanka day trip tour - If you limited for time and wish to discover sri lanka this is ideal tour. Whilst a couple of areas we could have spent more time in, it gaves us a good insight to those sights.
