Descripción

Únete a mí, para un recorrido inmersivo de 120 minutos por el Fuerte Galle, Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO. Comenzando en el Puerto Viejo, donde anclaron comerciantes chinos, árabes y europeos, rastrearemos la historia colonial desde fuertes de arcilla portuguesa hasta muros de piedra holandeses. Explora bastiones como la Luna y la Estrella, y lugares emblemáticos como la Iglesia Reformada Holandesa (1755), construida como voto por el nacimiento de un niño. Descubra cómo las murallas del fuerte resistieron el tsunami de 2004, salvándolo mientras devastaba Galle City. Pasea por el Hospital Holandés, ahora un vibrante centro de cocina. Aprenda sobre el comercio de COV, túneles ocultos y paredes de enfriamiento de coral. Escucha historias de asedios portugueses donde los soldados sobrevivieron con gatos y perros. Vea ladrillos de lastre de barcos holandeses y cómo las inversiones extranjeras remodelan este patrimonio vivo. Desde las ruinas del faro de Flag Rock hasta las historias de supervivencia del tsunami, combinaré la historia con la tradición local. Con 20 años de experiencia, este viaje a través de la resiliencia, la arquitectura y la fusión cultural promete ideas inolvidables.

Highly recommended walking tour with pleasant guide.

We had an early morning walking tour of Galle Fort with Dilip and it was very informative and enjoyable. Dilip is an engaging and knowledgeable guide who is able to answer all questions fully and has a comprehensive record of the buildings of the town.

Pleasant stroll around Galle Fort

Dilip gave us a great tour around Galle Fort. He was full of history about the Portuguese, Dutch and English influences. It was a nice paced stroll around , finishing with the lowering of the fort flag and sunset. He was easy to communicate prior to the tour,

Dilip was a great guide: he and Galle exceeded our expectations.

Dilip was very informative and we enjoyed learning about the history from the Portuguese to the present day, as well as wandering the streets looking at the architecture.

A memorable tour with a local guide

We booked Dilip via our local tour operators who clearly knew he was going to be good! Our family (with kids 13 and 11) enjoyed walking around Galle with Dilip learning about the history of the buildings and area. Dilip has excellent knowledge of the area and was able to answer all of our questions. It was great walking with a local guide (Dilip is from Galle), so as we walked we were able to learn about the effects of the tsunami, and other cultural aspects of the city.

Galle in the rain!

Very personable young man with good knowledge of the fort at Galle. He spoke good English and although it was pouring with rain and some thunder and lightning we still managed the tour!!

Thank you so much for your encouraging comment. You were an impressive young couple. Actually, I was deeply shocked that our tour was unable to continue after a halfway. Anyway, wish you all the best!

Relaxed walking tour of Galle Fort

I was looking for a low-key tour of Galle Fort, and could not have done better! Dilip paired me with another solo traveler, which made for a wonderfully personal tour of the historic site. As a local, Dilip has a deep knowledge of the Fort, and he shared many wonderful anecdotes from his own experiences. It was a terrific way to learn all about the history and life of Galle. Even after the tour concluded, Dilip joined me for refreshments and we continued our conversation. It was a great way to spend the morning in Galle with a genuinely nice guy - I recommend highly.

You are one of the landmarks in my memory. First you gave me over three-times of financial support gave me than the mentioned small fee on my TripAdvisor account that time as I was not able to access it to edit, due a technical error. Later I identified the your sympathetic nature from its roots while having a long chat after the tour. You were proving during the walk that how your active, hilarious character is matching to be a serious generous social activist to emolliate the suffered people in your home country. Wish you long life and good health from the bottom of the heart and willing to meet you some day in your home country!
