A fantastic way to see and eat your way around Galle! - Devi was a fantastic host! We felt at home as soon as she welcomed us to a table at our first stop. Her knowledge of the history and Sri Lankan culture brought so much context to the tour. She's a fluent English speaker, and has a broad perspective as someone raised in Sri Lanka, who spent years abroad. This tour was a great start to our trip, and we used Devi's advice through the rest of our time in Sri Lanka. Highly recommend! The food and drinks were DELICIOUS.

An amazing and authentic - This cultural and food tour of Galle was a fascinating journey through the history and culture of Galle and Sri Lanka. The traditional Sri Lankan dishes we were offered were beautifully prepared and made all the more delicious by the stories of Sri Lankan life that Devi recounted during the meals. Come starving! You will not be disappointed!!!

A lovely intro to Sri Lankan food and culture - A delightful way to discover some great dishes and learn more about Sri Lanka from an insider's perspective. Devi is a charming and articulate host who combines a Sri Lankan's understanding with an internationally acquired attitude. A super way to spend a few hours getting stuck into this lovely country.

Delicious Ceylon - We have been on food tours in France, Greece, Peru, Madeira and The Philippines but Devi's tour was definitely the best so far. The quality of the food and venues were amazing. Devi's attention to detail and passion for her work are what sets this tour apart. We would definitely recommend.

A great guided tour with very good local specialities - We booked the culinary tour with Devi due to the many good reviews. We can only confirm these in any case. The tour began with culinary treats from Sri Lanka before the tour of the city began. After a coffee break, it had a fish plate at the end. Devi told us about everything worth knowing and was very warm. We can highly recommend the tour!

Great way to experience the Galle Fort - Went on this tour with the family and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Devi selected a wide assortment of food for us to sample. Bring your appetite as there was plenty to eat at multiple high end restaurants. The evening setting in the old fort adds to the experience as it is a bit cooler and the sunset was spectacular. The visit to the gem factory was an unexpected highlight, watching artisans working at crafting high quality jewelry. Devi’s enthusiasm and love for her country is apparent and her conversation and knowledge enhances the experience.

A fantastic foody walking tour with a wonderful host! - Top quality food and drink (and plenty of it!) with an excellent host who was warm and welcoming and very informative. Galle is a beautiful UNESCO town and it was great to explore it with Devi who covered all the key attractions and entertained us with stories from her childhood. We also got to see some local crafts. Recommend you ensure you are hungry and have plenty of time to enjoy the experience. This was day 1 of our holiday in Sri Lanka and Devi got our trip off to an excellent start - thank you!
