Day trip from Colombo to Galle - Yesterday, 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.

Excellent guide and tour - Fabulous 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!

A memorable day trip with exceptional guide - I 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

Ocean Magic 🩵 - Incredibly 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 ☀️

Extremely Disappointed As Driver Did Not Show Nor Were We Informed of Cancellation - My wife and I were extremely disappointed in the Viator booked Galle day trip as we waited over a half hour only to learn that the booking had been cancelled due to bad weather. The simple fact was the weather was perfect. You cannot trust the third party booking application nor the ensuing details provided by its representatives. We had to waste our time calling the help line only to learn in the end that we did not matter to them. A full refund was obtained but our planned trip was ruined. We have used this booking service on many previous occasions without incident. We will never use this service going forward due the foul taste of this one terrible experience.
