About this experience

Clip on your helmet, mount your bike, and roll through one of Sri Lanka's most storied cities. This private 2.5-hour cycling tour takes you along the ramparts and cobbled lanes of Galle Fort — a UNESCO World Heritage Site whose thick stone walls were first raised by the Portuguese and later reinforced by the Dutch. Your English-speaking local guide leads the way, pointing out colonial-era churches, merchant houses, lighthouse views, and the bustling streets that still hum with everyday Southern Province life. A bike sized to fit you and chilled water and refreshments are included from the start.

Beyond the fort walls, you'll weave through Galle city proper, where fish markets, fabric shops, and street-side tea stalls paint a vivid picture of the fourth largest city in Sri Lanka. The tour is fully private, so the pace and the stops are yours to shape with your guide. Minimum age is 12 years. Meals, gratuities, and personal expenses are not included.
