Explore the rich cultural heritage of Sri Lanka with our bestseller, the Galle Fort Walk! Led by a 5th generation resident of this historic city, this walking tour is the perfect way to immerse yourself in the fascinating blend of local design traditions and European colonial influence.

The Galle Fort, a UNESCO recognised world heritage site, has been occupied by the Portuguese, Dutch, and British at various points during Sri Lanka’s colonial history, leaving a unique imprint on its fabric. As you leisurely navigate through the fort’s charming alleyways, you'll discover the different architectural styles of its many interesting structures.

The walk is filled with interesting facts, stories, and myths, all interwoven by the unique perspective and narrative of our knowledgeable host, who knows this terrain like the back of his hand. You'll explore the many places of worship, schools, post office, lighthouse, clock tower and other interesting buildings that make up the fort, while learning about the lives of the Tamils, Sinhalese, Muslims, Burghers, and Malays who call it home.

The cultural labyrinth of Galle Fort is also a center for commerce, with local businesses providing livelihoods for the diverse population. You'll see the mostly single-story low houses, built in accordance with the Dutch colonial style of architecture, that have been converted into quaint restaurants, bars, cafes, clothing and jewelry shops, and everything in between.

Our host, a popular singing star and member of a prominent family in Galle, promotes an attitude of simplicity through this experience. He encourages supporting locals and their businesses, and improving sustainable business practices within the vibrant Fort community. His message of simplicity and contentedness is refreshing, and adds a personal touch to the historical and cultural leaning of this experience.

Join us on the Galle Fort Walk for an out-and-out local, culture-intensive experience that you won't forget!
