You will be starting your tour at 8:30 am in the morning from your hotel in Galle. Your English Speaking chauffeur guide will pick you up in a beautiful classic car.

The tour will start with a drive around the Galle Fort, where Colonial Dutch architecture is at its best.

Your guide will also take you to the ramparts of the old fort, giving you the opportunity for some great photographs. He will also give you a brief on the Colonial invasions of olden-day Ceylon and the Galle Fort’s history.

 You will then be driving towards the outer edges of Galle City to visit the oldest markets in Galle, the Dutch Fruit Market and the Dutch Green Market. The stalls of the markets are located within long columned arcades with tiled roofs, dating back to the Dutch era 300 years ago. The old architecture combined with the colorful stalls filled with fruits, vegetables and greens make an attractive sight. You can purchase some tropical fruits to take along for your car ride, if you wish.
