Fantastic holiday in Sri Lanka - We spent a wonderful vacation in Sri Lanka with Apple Vacations. We visited many beautiful places and were absolutely delighted with the nature and monuments. Our driver, Dyenesh, deserves a huge thank you. He was very helpful in every situation and went out of his way to make our vacation a success.

Highly recommend - We booked the 3-day tour and it was truly an unforgettable experience thanks to our amazing guide Chathu. he was extremely kind and attentive. He explained everything in detail and shared a lot of knowledge about Sri Lanka. The tour itself was fantastic! in three days we were able to see and experience so much of the Country. From cultural sights to landscapes, it was the perfect mix. Our Highlight were the elefants. Everything was perfectly organized, and thanks to Chathu we learned so much more than we could have on our own. I hope you are lucky and get him as your guide :)

What an unforgettable experience - thanks Keerthe! - What an unforgettable experience. We were lucky to have Keerthe as our guide and driver. We travelled long distances but it felt like minutes. We were given lots of great updates on Sri Lankan culture and history. We were taken to places based on Keerthe’s experience - i.e he recommended a safari time that was different to usual times. This helped avoid big crowds due to public holiday weekend in Sri Lanka. We would highly recommend Apple Tours based on what professionalism Keerthe has shown. Thanks for a great trip and all the best. Albert, Paulina, Dexter and Kai

3 perfect days in the center of Sri-Lanka - We did this tour from 27th to 29th of December and had Janith as a guide and driver. It was amazing experience. The center of Sri-Lanka is very interesting and exciting, you can enjoy mountain views, buddists and hindu temples, tea plantation, botanical gardens and national park. Program is very flexible, you can add or skip some attractions. Car was very comfortable, air-conditioned and with wifi. Its important, because we spent a lot of time in the car. Our hotel was very nice and has beautiful view of the city. But the best of our tour was Janith! He is perfect driver and very interesting guide. He answered all our questions, was very friendly and helpful. He really cared about us. If you want to get exciting experience in very comfortable way, you should do this tour!

A must in Sri Lanka - After we landed in Colombo we didn't have any idea about where to go or what places to visit and we were lucky to find this tour, we were able to see a lot of what Sri Lanka has to offer . Special thanks to our guide CJ who took real care of us and made sure that we stay safe and happy. We highly recommend this trip that is underrated for what she have to offer. Med and Oumaima.
