About This Tour
Walk with a Certified Heritage Interpreter and let Galle Fort reveal itself to you, layer by layer. As we stroll along its sun warmed ramparts and winding cobblestone lanes, you’ll hear the echoes of centuries, stories of traders and travellers, battles and resilience and the vibrant blend of cultures that make this UNESCO World Heritage Site so unique. We’ll pause in shaded courtyards where the scent of cinnamon lingers, discover quiet corners hidden from the crowds and share tales you won’t find in any guidebook. It’s an unhurried journey, rich in conversation and connection, that will leave you seeing Galle Fort not just as a destination, but as a living, breathing story you’ve stepped inside.
