Family-friendly Private Galle City Tour

Our guide Rajeewa and driver was amazing!! We had one of the best day tour Galle and had a great lunch, so much fun, will definitely book with this tour company again. Thanks for an amazing time:)

we had a great guide but the boat trip to the Coral was disappointing as there was not much coral to be seen as destroyed by the Tsumami. The River Boat was also disappointing as we headed for 25 mins to the Mangrove arches and after 1 minute there came immediately back from there. Tea Factory was fascinating, in every case you are asked to pay for the both boat rides around $120/6 persons which I feel was quite steep given what we had seen. you do get to see alot of the countryside which is just stunning and for that it was worth the trip!

Absolutely awesome day spent with Bhathi! He was so polite, friendly, knowledgeable and fun to be with. He arranged the itinerary perfectly, took awesome photos, taught me greetings and was so professional. A luxurious day! Thankyou Bhathi.

If you need to fill in a long layover with an exciting time in Sri Lanka, this tour brings you to see wonderful things in one day. I only had 10 hrs in Sri Lanka but I had a really great time thanks to my guide, Mr.Denver who is super friendly and professional guide. In the short time i had, i have learnt a lot about Sri Lanka and its Rich history and also visited all the mentioned places on the itinerary such as the Turtle Hatchery, boat safari and the city of Galle. Will definitely have Denver as my guide again when i return to Sri Lanka for a proper visit in a couple of months time. Highly recommend!!

Perfect way to spend a long layover. Organising with Rajeewa via WhatsApp was seamless and he was really helpful with answering all my questions. I was picked up from the airport (and despite my significant flight delay) everything was ready to roll. Diyath was my tour guide and was wonderful. Made the whole process simple. He was very knowledgeable and was able to provide history of the places we visited. Would recommend to anyone who has a long layover in Sri Lanka!

We had a great driver Denver. He was very kind and took us to very interesting places around the country's south. He is very knowledgeable and can personalise the tour and take you to places that are most interesting for you.

This was a quite remarkable experience - The Tea Plantation was truly incredible - the Stick Fishermen, The Turtles, the Spice Garden and the lunch - all good. Our Driver Guide was very personable, very knowledgeable and very professional - THANK YOU VIATOR.

We desired a very different day that the one most offered for the city, and our guide Patham did everything possible to make stops that met our interests as well as our ship's limited time in port. Patham took us on a river / lake tour to see birds, monkeys and a water monitor as well as an isolated family cinnamon farm. Our first stop at a turtle rescue non-profit was poignant (with cute babies!) and the tour of the white tea plantation was beautiful. 5-star day for we challenging clients.

Everything was amazing in this tour! I would recommend to anyone to have it and enjoy this beautiful country

We had a good day, the guide was maybe not as informative as he could have been and they definitely needed to provide a van not a car for 4 Adults we were crammed in the back of a car in that heat but we made the most of it

I paid a hefty price as a solo tourist, but I was still surprised that I was the only person on the tour. It was a newer, comfortable sedan car with air conditioning. The driver was punctual, polite, and allowed flexibility in the tours to allow for my preferences. I was already in Galle, so we left right away to do the Madu River cruise, since it's in an open boat with no shade. This was an hour and a half, with a stop at an island where they produce cinnamon. We also saw prawn farms, an island where people leave Cobras, and several Hindu and Buddhist temples. Again, I was alone in the boat with my English speaking boat guide, directing him to places I wanted to see more closely for photos. I waved happily at several other boats jammed with Chinese tourists. Our next stop was the Tsunami museum, which has very good explanations of earthquake and tsunami science. The pictures of the 2004 devastation were heartbreaking, including a whole train full of people. One wall had a lace curtain over it because some people don't want to look at dead bodies. Your choice. Down the road were Sri Lankan government and Japanese memorials to the victims. Other stops were a moonstone mine, complete with jewelry shop (surprise!) but the jewelry was stunning. I asked to skip the stilt fishermen and the tea plantation, since I had already seen them. Our final stop was a turtle farm and hatchery, where they kept adult turtles that had lost limbs in motorboat or fishing accidents and protected eggs for hatching. I proudly took my baby turtle to the ocean and set him free. Kids would love this. I skipped the lunch stop (lunch not included) because I wanted to take a shower first and have lunch in Galle. So my tour ended a little early, but I liked that it was all my decision and I didn't have to sit tight and wait for a crowd of people. I had time to get a pedicure that afternoon. My only issue was that for that price ($80 for a single) I assumed entrance fees were included. I opened the e-voucher and it is clearly stated they are not. So I spent an additional 5,500 rupees on the boat tour, 500 on the museum, and 1500 on the turtle hatchery (about $40). I wasn't given the option, but I probably could have saved money by having more people in the boat or not doing the turtle release at the hatchery. But I had a great day and covered a lot of ground, which would not have been possible by bus or tuk tuk.

Wanted to books transfer from Colombo to Galle and got a bonus tour of Galle and surrounds included by Kumar. Very friendly driver and guide

Booked the tour on the srilankabycar website, everything is quick and clear. After online payment on the site, on whatsapp I was contacted by the Pathum manager with the necessary information on the trip, by correspondence I asked to move the tour to a suitable day and time, despite the short notice the company agreed. Punctual delivery of the car, fresh and clean Toyota Prius. The Chandana driver accompanied all the way with an interesting conversation about the country, stopped at all interesting places, also made stops at our request. The tour in Halle was very enjoyable, was pleasantly surprised by the excellent service and attention to the customer. Thank you very much srilankabycar!
