- Ebby19530 contributionsJust the right trip for the cityGood 4 hour trip seeing all the sights in the city centre. Driver was good on extremely busy city. Looked after the guests with care and comfortable vanWritten 14 February 2025
- Carlos N0 contributionsA memorable introduction to KandyA very interesting tour, learned and experienced quite a bit. The best part was our Driver/guide Chathu. Polite, warm and friendly, so very helpful and considerate to our every need. He made all the difference !Written 11 February 2025
- Roving216459668530 contributionsGo with Nishan absolutely fantastic guide and tourAfter fantastic Negombo city tour yesterday we decided to do the Lagoon tour with Nishan from Helituktuktours. He was again brilliant. The tour started being picked up from our hotel and taken to the boat where we toured out with commentary all the way along with laughs. We were treated to fruit whilst sitting on chairs in the lake, just perfect. To then seeing monkeys and water dragon with multiple bird life . Definitely worth doing especially with Nishan. Thank youWritten 9 February 2025

- A7235PGmarkh0 contributionsExcellent trip from ColomboThis is an excellent trip if you are based in Colombo and aren’t planning to stay in Kandy. This was exactly what I was looking for as a quick introduction to the culture triangle with my limited time. It is a long day but you see a lot. The guide and drive were excellent not only in knowledge, and making sure we had everything we needed. But also driving respectful and safely. It was a busy day at the Cave temple, Sigiriya and the additional safari due to it being a national holiday. So check that and I would recommend any other day. If it wasn’t for our tour guide setting us up with a local Sigiriya guide at the site. I think I would still be in line trying to climb, due to the amount of people. I highly recommend this tourWritten 4 February 2025
- ninadP2954NA0 contributionsLong day but oh so worth it!I had the best experience on this day trip. Rajid and Bala were an amazing team. Rajid gave a lot of history and insights to the places we visited. Bala is an excellent driver and I felt very safe with him. As a solo traveler, I can wholeheartedly recommend this trip.Written 2 February 2025
- michellellim0 contributionsExcellent Tour and very responsive teamI was recommended Apple vacations by my Sri Lankan friend. It did not disappoint. This was my second time visiting Sri Lanka and they able to customise the tour to my preferences, and this return trip was even more outstanding than my first visit. Apple vacations recommended new activities for me to do since it was my second visit, and responded very quickly to my queries and requests. When I encountered minor issues during the trip, and raised this to the company, they were addressed quickly and effectively. Our guide/driver Krish was very helpful throughout the trip and we managed to buy all the souvenirs we wanted to get. He also found out that I enjoyed massages and would make it a point to stop by a massage place, and even wait for us to complete the massage before returning to the hotel. He also recommended us which food stalls to go to, and they were excellent choices. The food was clean and neither of us came down with any stomach ailments. He is very experienced - and gave some good advise to us during the tour - ie when we were walking down to the 9 arches bridge, he suggested we take a Tuktuk as the path was narrow and steep. The tour package was thoughtfully planned, and they worked around our very odd flight times - which was a touch down at 12 midnight and a departure at about 1am. We particularly enjoyed being able to view the elephants bathing in the river from our hotel, visiting an elephant sanctuary where elephants were humanely treated, the turtle hatchery, and strolling around nurawa eliya and Ella. We had some rainy weather, our guide Krish shuffled our itinerary so that we could maximise our outdoor activities when it was not raining. Since it was a private tour package, we did not have to crowd or squeeze into the boats for the river cruise or safari jeep, and could take things at our own pace and spend it on the activities which we enjoyed. I also enjoyed the fact that quite a few of the activities planned involved the local villagers in the area and thus generating employment for them, whilst encouraging them to keep their traditional customs and practices. The hotels recommended were clean comfortable and luxurious and the half board package made it very convenient for us. Overall would 100% recommend Apple vacations. We both had a great and relaxing holiday and could do this as the logistics of the travel planning was all taken care of by Apple vacations.Written 1 February 2025
- 553ddf0 contributionsUnforgettable Escape with Apple VacationAfter a meeting-filled weekend, I treated myself to an unplanned escape in Colombo. I joined a day trip with Apple Vacation, though a missed alarm made for a late start. Thankfully, the host’s thoughtful solution ensured I made this adventure in 1st day of Lunar new year🧧🙏 Despite the hiccup, the warmth and care of the group made my day. Climbing the 1,600-year-old Lion Rock and wandering through a quiet village, disconnected from the world, felt like stepping into a timeless moment...🦁🦚🦢🌴 Special thanks to the host and Chathu for their kindness—looking forward to another journey with Apple Vacation!✨️❣️ Best regards, FiWritten 31 January 2025
- M7805KWvickis0 contributionsA memorable day in Colombo.We had a wonderful day with Naveen and his driver exploring many sites in Colombo. Naveen was very knowledgeable about the different places we visited and welcomed and answered our many questions. We were able to take our time at each site which gave us the opportunity to really appreciate what we were experiencing. Our tour ended with us enjoying a very tasty traditional Sri Lankan lunch. Many thanks to them both for a memorable day. We would highly recommend this tour .Written 30 January 2025

The company ensured we stayed in a well-maintained and comfortable hotel and the transportation provided was top-notch—clean, reliable, and well-maintained vehicles.
