Hosted Walking Tour of Galle Fort with a Resident

Built by the Portuguese in 1588 and then fortified by the Dutch in the 17th Century, the UNESCO World Heritage site of Galle Fort is a melting pot of cultures and communities. Home to the Moor (Muslim), Sinhalese, Burgher and Tamil ethnic groups, this architectural and archaeological fortress has a colourful history and is one of the best-preserved forts in South Asia. Walk through the cobbled streets with one of our two guides, who reveal the history, hidden tales, and daily life behind these walls.
