Outstanding 3 day tour of Sri Lanka - This was an outstanding 3 day experience. I was picked up early morning by my driver and guide, Dhanesh. There was only one other person on the trip with me and we had a very comfortable luxury vehicle, and provided water each day. Dhanesh took very good care of us as we drove to spend the night in Kandy, then Ella, and then made sure we were both dropped off again in Colombo. I loved the incredible views, the waterfalls, the Nine Arch Bridge and train ride, and the visit to Udawalawe to see elephants, crocodiles, lots of birds, and more. This was a great experience for a solo traveler and I would highly recommend this tour!

Highly enjoyable tour - We had a lovely time on this tour and would recommend it. Our driver Ranga was excellent and ensured that we had an enjoyable experience, with safe driving and checking if we wanted to go to any stopover attractions. The stops for fresh fruit and traditional Sri Lankan food were a great experience. The days are full on and quite busy but you can still go at your own pace and take it all in. Thank you Ranga!

Tour 3 days - We did 3 days touring the south of Sri Lanka visiting different cities. The organization of the route satisfied my interest, also our driver "danesk" was very punctual and helpful also his knowledge to allow you to understand a little more about the history of this nation. Also we travelled with a couple of very nice Indians.

An amazing experience in all aspects! - This was an amazing 3 day tour from the moment we were picked up at our hotel to the time we were dropped back 3 days later. Primarily, what made it a wonderful experience from start to the finish was the efforts of our tour guide, Rukshan. Despite all the challenges in the lead up to the tour, mostly caused by cyclone Ditwah😥, we still managed to visit the majority of the places listed without too many changes. Thanks to Rukshan for working on the detours to get us safely to each of the destinations, navigating the winding roads and the Sri Lankan traffic! While both overnight stops had comfortable accommodations, the Kandy stop was a nice surprise. Sigiriya, Dambulla, Kandy, Pilimanthalawa, Ella and Udawalawe were some of the highlights of this tour for us. In summary, the tour was nothing but a wonderful experience and when we next return to Sri Lanka to explore more, we will be choosing Apple Vacations as our tour company, and hopefully we can ask for Rukshan again. Highly recommended!

Excelente experiencia en Srilanka - We had an incredible experience traveling around Sri Lanka with Danish. We were two women traveling together, and from the very beginning he made us feel safe, comfortable, and well taken care of at all times. Danish is extremely kind, respectful, punctual, and professional. His vehicle was always very clean and comfortable, which made long drives pleasant. He was attentive to every detail, flexible with our plans, and always willing to help. He took us to beautiful places, gave great local recommendations, and made the whole trip smooth and enjoyable. We truly felt relaxed and supported throughout the journey. We highly recommend Danish, especially for female travelers looking for a safe, reliable, and memorable experience in Sri Lanka. We would definitely choose him again!

We recently visited Sri... - We recently visited Sri Lanka — Colombo → Sigiriya → Kandy → Nuwara Eliya → Ella → Colombo — and had a great experience. Special thanks to Apple Vacations for upgrading our group travel booking into a private car. Our driver-cum-guide Dhanesh was the highlight of the trip. Even though heavy rains interrupted our plans, he always found alternatives so that our fun didn’t stop. He knew the routes extremely well, suggested practical changes, and even recommended several places that weren’t part of our original itinerary. His flexibility and helpful nature made a big difference. The hotels were also good — especially in Kandy, and even the one in Ella was comfortable. Overall, despite the weather, Dhanesh and Apple Vacations made our Sri Lanka trip smooth, memorable, and totally worth it. Highly recommended!

3 long but definitely worthwhile days! - Dhanash was great. He was always on time for pickup and made sure everything went smoothly with the tours and driving around. He made sure to tailor the trip to what I had wanted to see not just on the itinerary. The hotels were really nice (especially the one in Kandy) and the food served was Buffett style (the dinner and breakfast included). One thing to note is bring extra Rupees because half the time the sites credit card machines weren’t working or they would only accept Rupees. Also these are 3 full on days, about 11 hours each from the time you get picked up from the hotel in the morning to the time you get dropped off at the motel in the evening with a lot of time spent in the car.

Amazing 3-Day Sri Lanka Tour – Perfectly Organized and Unforgettable - I joined a 3-day tour through Sri Lanka and absolutely loved it! Everything was perfectly organized – efficient, reliable, and very professional. Our guide Aaron and the driver were a fantastic team who made the trip smooth and enjoyable. The hotels were comfortable, the food was delicious, and all the sightseeing spots were really impressive. I was traveling solo and met two other solo travelers on the tour – we got along really well and had a wonderful time together. It was a great experience overall and I can highly recommend this tour!

Three day Sri Lanka interior - The best part of our tour was our driver/guide, Chathu, who was generous with his knowledge and driving skill! He had so much information for us and treated us like friends throughout the three days. He seemed to have friends in every town we moved through, and could respond to any changed needs quickly and in good humour. We were very happy with the contents of our tour with a few small exceptions. My husband and I were unable to do the climb up lions rock owing to bad backs and vertigo and Chathu didn’t try to force us or leave us waiting, rather he found a substitute experience by tuktuk at short notice. Unfortunately our tuktuk driver spoke no English, which meant we missed a lot of background to the area that we would have appreciated. The two hotels we stayed in were clean and comfortable, but we were disappointed at the poor internet connectivity at both of them. At each hotel the food was varied and tasty. We strongly recommend a tour with Chathu.
