          Disappointed ???
          The tour itself focusing on business, this was not wat we expect but it will help others to avoid booking this tour. It was a group tour and different guides they were taking us for a spice garden which we never want to go, so it was annoying and totally dissapointed.

          A must do trip - the lion rock is awesome
          Great trip by a great company with great staff - both our driver and guide (arron) were fab providing us with a life time memories - from the start with a prompt pick up from our hotel through a breakfast stop the Dambulla cave temples onto the highlight (the lion rock) followed by lunch and a jeep safari before a smooth lift back to the hotel in a comfortable mini bus - we would highly recommend this trip

          This was amazing - not the sort of trip we would normally do but it was not to be missed
          We did this at short notice when our trip to Ella was cancelled due to the weather and it was a great way to end our stay in Sri Lanka - we spent the evening at home with a Sri Lankan family seeing how they cook a reasonable meal and then eating the most fantastic meal before heading back to our hotel - definitely worth doing it and the host was so attentive informative and interesting

          This trip is brilliant and well organised by an experienced local family run travel company that give a personal touch
          This was a great trip with a brilliant driver and our guide Naveen for whom nothing was too much trouble - we had a full tour of the Dutch fort which was intriguing after a brilliant cruise on the river seeing lots of wildlife and having a foot bath with the fishes - the turtle hatchery was really informative and great fun

          Its Good Value.
          We saw a lot of Colombo in a few hours in a late model mini bus with air con. Driver was very good and with good English. However at end it was a bit difficult to get to any markets for shopping so we just visited one Brand shop as a friend wanted Ceylon Tea. All in all great value. They met us at the ship. Dropped us off at Port gate on return and we took shuttle buses from there to the ship The hlghlight was the Buddhist temple and also Colombo was very very tidy and all be it a lot of old infrastructure littering was not evident. Most surprising and impressive. Sri Lanka is definitely worth a visit. Our trip was too short. Plenty more to see for sure. Read less ^ Explore Search Plan Review Account

          Fully immersive Sri Lanka experience
          I had a very short time in Sri Lanka, but Apple Vacations and most importantly, Rukshan, my guide, made sure that I made the most out of it. I had a full itinerary for the 5 days, but Rukshan adjusted the travel plans with full flexibility based on my interest. There was nothing impossible for him when it came to showing me places, flavours, experiences, in order to give me a fully immersive experience. He did this with his genuine kindness, service-orientation and amazing driving skills that impressed me every day. I felt fully safe with him all the time and thanks to him I got to see even Sri Lanka nightlife that I probably would not have done on my own. I fully recommend their services and cant wait to be back to explore more.

          Amazing tour operator
          Apple vacations were amazing! From the start of communication they responded promptly and were very helpful in attending to our requests. They even gave us a little welcome gift when they picked us up from the airport. For the tour, the car was super comfortable and driver had great english! I had to cancel the second excursion due to illness and despite problems with the bank and huge delays, the central team of Apple vacations kept me updated every day and didn’t give up until the refund was in my account. I would definitely recommend them as they are super reliable and made our trip to Sri Lanka memorable

          Great experience in Anuradhapura
          Anuradhapura is worth visiting!! It was a bit far away from the other sites so it was difficult to plan to go the by myself. However, Apple vacation helped for me to travel as I wanted. Thanks to them, I travelled safely and got a lot of knowledge. Thank you very much:)

          Our Recent Sri Lanka Visit of October 2024
          We did it our own. It was a 6 nights and 7 days family tour of Sri Lanka. We were 5 (4 adults and 1 baby<2). Airport to airport taxi for the whole journey was amazing! The spacious taxi was full of comfort and convenience. It was dedicated to us 24x7 with an English speaking guide cum driver! We covered Colombo, Trincomalee, Sigiriya, Kandy, Nuwara Elia, Ella, Yala, Bentota with comfortable stay at different places managed by our own. The guide facilitated us with best of Indian food at various places of stay. The beaches, the mountains, the places of religious importance and the visit of Yala National Park were superb.

          Chanak is amazing, good tour company and the tour is a must do!
          Excellent! Excellent! I had a fabulous 4 day trip from Colombo , Dambulla Caves, Sigiriya, Kandy, Nuwara Eliya ( train ride),Ella, Spice market, Yala National Park, Mirissa ( whale watching), Galle and back to Colombo with Apple PVT Ltd and especially Chanak ( tour guide) Chanak when over and above to make my stay as enjoyable as possible. If you need a guide that can drive very well in all weather conditions, that can communicate in English, that knows Sri Lanka at the back of his hand ( history and vegetation) and someone that goes above and beyond to make sure that you see everything that you want - then Chanak is the one! He is really amazing and looked after me very well throughout my stay. I didn’t have the whale watching or yala safari booked before and Chanak did all this in a few hrs… he was very attentive and even gave me his binoculars for both trips. I decided to book the trip last minute and Chanak didn’t even have clothes for the 4 day trip as we decided to do on the spur! He still went ahead and tried to show me the best of Sri Lanka …this shows commitment and professionalism… thank you for making my stay in Sri Lanka so worthwhile!

        I would like to thanks Jeevan to arrange one day amazing tour of Colombo.

        We started at 10.00 am and covered around 8 to 10 places. I got a hybrid car with nice driver. He was also sharing information about harbor, some good hotels and shops places on the way. 

        Places I visited we're Sri Ponnambalavaneswaram,

        red mosque, Colombo fort station, light house,

        old parliament,ganga rama temple,lak medura,

        galle face, Town hall, National musuem, victoria park, indipendatence Square & arcade.

        Ganga rama temple is very beautiful.MUST go.

        You will not be able to stop yourself buying some gems at very good and affordable price.

        National musuem has many section,would recommend to visit by 2.00pm as the top section close by 4.00pm. 

        As I have to rush to airport I ended my journey by 5.00 pm and still I cover most of Colombo. 

        Good work guys. You deserve 5stars

        Dec 2021 • Friends
        The high tea at 1950 per person for the platter is a rip off - the quality of food was average, and although the number of items were supposed to be 15 (including sweets), we were told later that this included tea, coffee and iced coffee!
        There were very few savoury items.
        Although there were only a few people present at tea, the service was poor - we had to seek out waiters to get even initial servings of tea and coffee.
        I would not recommend it at all.
