Free walking tours in Galle

Our tour guide was outstanding - genuinely one of the best guides we’ve had on any walking tour. His English was excellent, and his knowledge of Galle and Sri Lanka more broadly was incredibly deep; he handled every question we threw at him without missing a beat. Highly recommend.

A very informative tour. We enjoyed hearing all about the history of Sri Lanka and Galle. We were only staying couple of nights so it was a great introduction to the fort. We would thoroughly recommend both the guide and tour.

We had a great walk with Madawa, who took us across a few bastions, special landmarks and down a nice street. It was a really good way to orient ourselves during our stay.

5 star guru walk! Malik knows his stuff, and as we all got on so well, the 90 min walk, by agreement, went for over 2 hours. A great raconteur with a super depth of knowledge. Highly recommended!

Malik was a fantastic guide: knowledgeable and a great communicator. I learnt lots of interesting and detailed information. He catered extremely well to our needs in terms of our interests and physical limitations. He was able to answer all our questions and he even laughed at my partner's jokes! Highly recommended. One of the best Guru walks that we have been on in the world.

Malik was a fountain of knowledge, esp with such a complex history of Galle through a variation of colonialism. He was not pressed for time and continued the tour as we just kept taking history non-stop. I've done a lot of these waking tours and he was awesome. Isthuti Malik!

A very entertaining and interesting tour. We would have just liked it to be a bit longer - the 1.5 hours flew past!
