Awesome 1 day tour. - It's a must if your in the area. Especially the boat trip. Can't belive how much we did in 1 day. The driver will adjust the tour to your needs.

Excellent value for money - This is a good trip and value for money. Some things cost extra but this is explained when you book. We did lots of different things in the day, my favourite was the boat trip. We also had some free time in Galle. Unfortunately there wasn’t time to go to the tsunami museum as advertised. Be aware that everyone you meet during the day wants a tip. The day was good and the car was excellent. The only downside was that the driver didn’t speak much English.
