Whale Watching and more with Charli Tours
We had such a wonderful experience with Charli Tours in Sri Lanka and couldn’t recommend them more highly. Charli’s wife drove us for the day and instantly made us feel welcome and relaxed, she was warm, professional, and clearly passionate about showing visitors the best of her country. We started early with a whale watching trip, and the whole experience felt smooth and well-organised from start to finish.Afterwards, she took us to see traditional stilt fishing, which was fascinating to witness up close, and then on to beautiful Galle where she shared lots of local knowledge and great recommendations. We also visited a moonstone mining area, which was something we would never have discovered on our own, such an interesting and unique experience.She was joined in the car by her partner, and together they made the journey even more enjoyable. They were both incredibly friendly, informative, and happy to answer our many questions about Sri Lankan culture, history, and daily life. The conversations and laughs along the way made the whole day feel less like a tour and more like travelling with friends.What really stood out was the personal touch, nothing felt rushed, and they genuinely cared that we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. It was a perfect mix of sightseeing, learning, and fun. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, kind, and reliable team to explore Sri Lanka with, Charli Tours is an excellent choice. Thanks Charli!

Charli organised a trip to Ella and…
Charli organised a trip to Ella and Kandy for us, his son was our driver and we can't thank him enough for showing us all the sights. Very well educated young man who's English was amazing and we learnt that he also speaks Japanese.Would highly recommend

We had a pretty nice trip
We had a pretty nice time on our two tours with Charlie and his son BUT do not go to the spice garden Dr. k. Perumbuli Arachchi because it’s a tourist trap. The products are not garanteed to be legit and the “doctor” honestly don’t know how much of a doctor he is. The prices are definitely exaggerated and overpriced and if you read the reviews of this place you’ll see everybody is unhappy with the place. Charlie do better and stop working with this scam place!Also make sure to ask all the questions regarding the trips itinerary beforehand and establish a clear schedule and price. Remember this is Sri Lanka and they give you higher prices than in Europe so don’t ever accept the first price and always negotiate!

Tour of Sri-Lanka with Charli Tours Sri-Lanka
While at the hotel we arranged a tour and the options was presented by the tour operator Charli Tours, to choose tuk-tuks, Car or Van hire with a guide , We decided to take the tuk-tuk as a family of three my daughter enjoyed the feel and the open air of the tuk-tuk, the tour guide took us to a number of beautiful places include the turtle sanctuary and beautiful local places to eat, My daughter truly enjoyed the tour and the tuk-tuk. Thank you again Charli Tours, as we had lovely memories of Sri-Lanka.

Just got back from a Charlie Tour!
Just got back from a Charlie TourWhat a day!Tuk Tuk to so many places, including a boat safari on the Lagoon, a temple, feeding Black Monkeys, holding a baby Alligator that was due to be released when old enough and releasing Turtles on the beach!Hashan was a safe driver and very informative. We felt safe and learnt so much! Nothing phased him and he was so flexible too. So, we're off on another tour tomorrow!Whale and Dolphin watching, stilt fishermen, Galle and a few other stop offs! Can't wait.
