Galle Private Tour

We'll pick you up from your hotel in Unawatuna at 8 am to commence this private tour to Galle, an ancient colonial town in Sri Lanka.

After a short drive along the southern coast, we will arrive in Galle, an important city due to its rich history. The tour will begin with an exploration of Galle's fortification, highlighting facts about the Portuguese and Dutch occupation in the 18th century.

First, we will visit Galle Fort, a monumental complex of historical significance that withstood the devastating 2004 tsunami. It is notably well-preserved. From here, we will head to the bastions of Utrecht and Triton, both offering stunning views of the bay.

Following this, we will stroll through the streets of the old town of Galle. If desired, you can explore the Maritime Museum. After the guided tour, there will be free time for lunch at a local restaurant and relaxation on the beach.

At the agreed time, we will reconvene to leave Galle, returning to Unawatuna. The tour concludes at your hotel after 7 hours.
