  Caution about the length of time for the tour. Because of the distance needed to cover, our guide (Sean) rushed to show us most of the places but we still did not have time for the river tour, pagoda and lunch within the 8-10 hrs advertised and be back to our ship on time. There are a lot of places to cover. He was however excellent, accommodating, and knowledgeable. We had a couple of other time challenges (late start) but most importantly is that the supplier was empathetic and understanding. Not all tours go smoothly for whatever reason, but my wife and I rate this company and guide full marks because of their customer service.

  Our driver Vidu tried hard during the day, drove us safe, and was very enthusiastic. However, I felt that the latter part of the tour (in Galle and the stilts fishing, the beach) was a bit rushed. So I suggest spending lesser time in the earlier stops (I would say the Turtle Sanctuary - maybe even skip it) so you can spend more time in Galle Fort, one of the beaches (where you can feed Turtles in the ocean) or even two, and also maybe wait for the sun set if the stils fishermen if time permits.

• Excellent driver but beware of what's not included

  We enjoyed our day. It was a long day almost 11 hours and we moved pretty quickly. Our driver was excellent - he gets 5/5. He was friendly, and consistently tried hard through the day. Be aware that there are a number of day tours from Colombo down to the south coast with similar destinations. The description of this tour is clear that it does not include the cost of the entry into the Sea Turtle Conservation Project or the cost of the River Safari. What it does not say is the cost of those attractions. We were charged US$20 each for entry into the Sea Turtle Conservation visit. There was no published price list when we go there we were just told how much we had to pay. The visit lasted about 30 minutes. On top of that we were expected to make additional (small) donation and pay a tip to the person showing us around. For the river safari, we were told we were going to a 'local operator' favoured by domestic tourists. We were driven to a jetty at the back of someone's house and told that it was US$60 for two people for the one hour boat ride. We were the only people there and there was no published prices. The local guide who took us around the river on the boat tried hard, but spoke very limited English. So in summary it was a good day but it would be better if the tour operator was clearer about the additional costs.

  Vidu was a sensational tour guide. Very informative and was very thoughtful in his itinerary and gave us many options for any additional activities we might be interested in. Highly recommend this as a one day tour of beautiful Southern Sri lanka

• Disappointing day

  According to the company our experience was a one-off. It was just unfortunate that it meant we wasted our full day in Colombo on a cruise stopover and were extremely hot and uncomfortable all day. The vehicle that was sent was inadequate for the number of passengers and 3 decided to abandon the tour very early on. For those of us remaining in the back the aircon was barely working and legroom compromised by design of seats. My partner had to sit sideways all day with 3 hour drives each way. We went to the boat and that was nice. Also lunch venue was good although service a bit slow. The driver hardly communicated with us all day and we didn’t learn anything about Sri Lanka or the places we were visiting. The only other stop we made was at Galle by the lighthouse for around 20 minutes. We did get back to the ship safely in time. I provided a lot of feedback to the company who offered us a free trip should we ever be back in Sri Lanka….! And then said they would give us a refund which never materialized. Very disappointing considering we booked this tour due to many great reviews on here.
