A Must Do If In Galle - We always like to do a walking tour around new places we visit. We knew very little of Galle before visiting but after this tour we felt like we knew the full history. Madawa our guide was very very good. Hugely knowledgeable of the area as he has lived there all his life, his English was perfect and knew all the answers to the questions we had. Thoroughly enjoyed this tour and would highly recommend.

City walk with excellent local guide - Our guide Madawa knows a lot about the history of this city and his country. He tells a lot and takes you through Galle Fort. He will try to answer all your questions. Pleasant to deal with and accessible. We learned a lot about Sri Lanka through this tour. It is really recommended because then you know what you see when you walk around there.

Best Experience in Sri Lanka - Madawa was a brilliant tour guide. We did the walking tour with him and it was a very good decision to do this tour and we got a very good insight not only about Galle but also about Sri Lanka. Madawa was very knowledgeable in all aspects, history,politics, you name it he can answer any question. The tour was great and we wish had more time with madawa to know all about Sri lanka

A must - I can’t recommend this tour highly enough. My guide was brilliant from start to finish. His knowledge of Galle fort area and Sri Lankan history was fantastic. He answered all my questions and I learnt so much. I have a slight disability, but he went at my pace and I never felt rushed or a burden. My guide was respectful and courteous of me being a female on my own. Thank you

Must do tour - Madawa our guide was brilliant and the tour flew past He covered the history of the Galle Fort and was also able to answer any questions we had on Sri Lanka in a very relaxed still We were so interested that we hadn't realised we had completed a complete circle of the Forte area I can't recommend this tour with Madawa enough

A fab local tour of Galle Fort - Our guide Wadawa was fab. He spoke very good English and was very knowledgeable about the history of Galle and Sr Lanka. The duration of 1.5 hours was about right, especially in the heat.
