If you have a couple of hours to spare, do this walking tour, you won't regret it - Spent a very enjoyable couple of hours walking round Galle Fort. We learned a lot about the long history and culture of the Fort and Sri Lanka too. It made our stay even better as we were aware of the heritage of the place around every corner. Seeing the turtles was an unexpected bonus. It was an easy (if hot) walk and I would recommend it to anyone
