It can take five hours to reach the old city from Colombo Katunayaka. It can be tiring. The old city tour costing US$ 25 per day per person, requires extensive walking, taking of shoes at Buddhist temples, and being in hot weather. You need at least 5/6 hours to get a feel of this ancient city of 2000 years BC onward. Moonstone, The tree under which Buddha received enlightenment, (branch brought from India), many Stupas made by successive kings, old dwellings, - all cast a magical spell on the traveler. You can find drinks, food in kiosks clusters, as also wash rooms. Stay a night there and relax ; do not rush back ; you'll break yr back!
What an amazing day exploring Galle and the surrounding area! The tour was the perfect mix of culture, relaxation and wildlife! Dashan (my guide) couldn’t have been more accommodating, incredibly informative and a safe driver! Definitely would recommend this trip if you have a day spare when staying in Colombo!

Wonderful Day
My Husband and I did the Galle Full day tour and it was fantastic. You get to do and see a lot! Our guide and driver was Deshan and he was fantastic! Very accommodating and knowledgeable. We really liked that it was just us and not a huge tour of people. It was also nice to have the flexibility to stay longer or shorter at some of the sites. I would recommend bringing smaller bills to tip at some of the locations. Also bring a swimsuit and towel if you want to go in the water. We did not but wish we did. Thank you Deshan for a wonderful day!
