The Galle Fort is a visual metaphor for Sri Lankan history. Ancient Sri Lankan culture collides with colonial architecture in ways that can only be described as mystical. It is why this UNESCO World Heritage Site is a favourite among tourists coming to Sri Lanka, today and in days past. This magic and mystery is what Galle means to me.
I am Shanjei, a former advertising executive from Colombo. A year ago, I quit my job because a)I was intrigued by this magic and mystery Galle Fort had to offer, and b)because I didn’t want to be confined to the concrete jungle of Colombo. Being the kind of inquisitive person that I am, I chased this mystique obsessively – so much so that I decided to become a Tour Guide to the fort for people like you. Yes, you.
If you like your tours to be interactive, fun and decidedly less history and more story then I am the person you are looking for. Want to learn more about the little nooks and crannies that make Galle Fort less a fort and more a home for its many residents? What about the many cultures that mingle seamlessly within the fort’s confines? Its people?
Let me help you decode the magic and the mystery of Galle Fort.

History is so much more interesting coming from someone with the passion to tell the stories and the desire to uncover them. I really enjoyed your dynamic tour of Galle Fort and the way you connect the stories of the past with the today…Not to mention hearing about a few present-day stories developing within the fort walls. Thanks for a great day!

Galle is packed with substantial history, charm and quaint little streets. It is a very pleasant stroll in order to explore and absorb the significance of the site.
Our guide Shanjei gave us an insightful tour around the fort and its history. He had great in-depth knowledge with many impressive fun facts which made it a very memorable experience. I would suggest contacting him when you’re in Galle for an outstanding and delightful walking tour. A must visit when you are in Sri Lanka.
