Summary:
Our tour was amazing! Tour guide Madu and our driver took us on an all day tour and even stopped at souvenir shops for us upon request! The sea turtle hatchery was magical and the river cruise was such a cool and unique experience! Lunch was at a restaurant right on the ocean and was delicious. We also enjoyed the tour of Galle Fort and Madu made sure we saw all the best views , which made for great pictures/memories! Definitely recommend this tour for anyone looking to spend the day exploring Sri Lanka!

Summary:
Great day with Madu our guide. Picked up from our hotel in Kalutara and then did multiple bits on our day out and all just us and our guide. Bentota River Safari, Spice Market, Gemstone factory, turtle sanctuary, tsunami monument, beach, fab lunch and of course Galle with the fort and a cheeky visit into the cricket ground. Madu was superb and we felt at ease all day and under no pressure time wise either. Would 100% recommend this company as we had a superb day with them.
