What to expect

Galle epitomises Sri Lanka's multicultural history more than any other city and on this small-group guided tour, you'll get a feel for the laidback rhythm of this eclectic town.

The oldest section is packed into a walled peninsula and boasts a maze of alleys lined with Portuguese, Dutch and British colonial architecture. But it's the UNESCO-listed Galle Fort that steals the show. You'll take a guided walking tour through the 17th-century fort, taking in its Dutch hospital and historic church, the lighthouse and the fascinating Marine Museum. The mosque by the sea is another highlight, which adds to the town's cultural blend.

Round off your day by taking your seat near Galle Fort Green for sunset. Tuck into some local snacks and sweet treats, sip on locally grown Ceylon tea or treat yourself to a glass of wine as it all unfolds.
