To travel with Roshan was always very comfortable. He brought us from Galle to Udawalawe NP and to Yala NP. He was always very helpful and gave us many information about beautiful Sri Lanka and the local life. We will definetely recommend to travel with him.

Flag Rock Bastion- Galle

Reviewed By BillyK1980 - Melbourne, Australia

This has become a top spot for all tourists and locals for sunset. You will be with around 100-200 other tourists but it is a great time to walk around as it is much cooler

Old Town of Galle and its Fortifications

Reviewed By LesleynD - Perth, Australia

We visited Galle on a day trip from Negombo. It's very clean and surprisingly not many people around except many courting couples hidden in the nooks and crannies behind a strategically placed umbrella :) We have a lovely walk around the Clock Tower and enjoyed the views of the ocean, Internation Cricket Ground and activities going on around the fort. A few vendors around the place touting their wares but not pushy. Nice historic fort to visit for a few hours.

Reviewed By DTGalle_1 - Sri Lanka, null

It's almost 16km away from Tangalle main city and only half an hour drive to the temple. you can park your vehicle next to the temple and need to climb around 500 steps to the top of the rock where you reach beautiful place you can see morning sunrise and evening sunset both. The temple is more than 150 years old and still it maintaining with good condition. It you're a foreigner you can always hire a guide who will well explain every valuable points. If you are passing by Tangalle this place is must visit

Meera Mosque

Reviewed By AustralianOverseas - Melbourne, Australia

If you time your visit well, the end of call to prayers is concluded with a beautiful vocal, which is audible from the street. The melody is haunting & really quite moving.
