Amazing intro to Galle Fort!

Wow, what a great tour with Madawa. He was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the Fort’s history and also the surrounding area. Highly recommend if you are in Galle. Was an absolute highlight of our time here!

Fantastic

The rain stopped just in time and we spent a wonderful 1.5 hours talking and learning with Madawa as we walked around the Fort. Madawa is very knowledgeable and an all round nice guy. The tour was a great introduction to our stay in Galle Fort and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Highly recommend.

Best way to start or end the SL trip

Superb tour! So well conducted, well designed, and Madawa is so articulate. He sincere effort at making the most of your time, peppered with fun facts and statements is remarkable. I am so glad we found this tour online, just in time, and took the plunge. It was THE highlight of our day and the trip overall. The coordination was easy too. Meeting, being, talking to Madawa and seeing Galle through his eyes was an afternoon that will stay with you for a long long time.
