- Jayceebee310 contributionsExcellent tour operator, specialising in Sri Lankan and Maldives tours, for individuals, couples, families and groups .Wow-what a buzz.The most competent tour operator I have ever found and we have captured over 30 countries previously.Best was the excellent tour guide / driver combination taking us to Negombo, Dambulla, the Lions Rock, Kandy, Ella, Galle, back to Colombo. All aspects of an extremely clean and beautiful country was found highlighting people’s beautiful smile showing their culture in true spirits.Apple’s principle oversees all, guaranteeing safety and total enjoyment For all and sundry.The greatest trip of all after resting in the Maldives in a sensational setting organised by Deva and his crew ( Apple family.). Just do this trip….greatest event ever especially for value for money.Whilst Apple expires to being the world’s best in communication, Apple Vacations strive to be totally the best in personal service in tour operations.Totally recommend themWritten 5 March 2025
- M4766YHkevinr0 contributionsFantastic Tour of Negombo LagoonExcellent tour of Negombo Lagoon. Abundant wildlife viewing, including numerous birds, monkeys, and a giant monitor lizard in the mangroves. The guide was quite knowledgeable about the lagoon, very friendly, and extremely accommodating any time you wanted to take a picture. An amazing fresh fruit buffet and coconut drink were provided. I highly recommend this tour!Written 2 March 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
- 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

We did the 3 day tour encompassing Kandy and Ella in April. As a multi generational family of 9, including an elderly relative and three autistic children, I was quite nervous. I needn’t have been. Our guide, Chathu, was amazing. He picked us up from our hotel in Colombo on time, and was extremely helpful and friendly. My 7 year old took a real shine to Chathu and still asks about him now. The tour packed in a huge amount, and we had to go slow at times as my 76 year old mother in law struggled with the pace. It didn’t matter. Chathu was happy to rearrange the schedule to meet our needs. As part of the tour, we stayed at Ella Gap hotel and the Royal Kandyan. Both hotels were fairly basic but met our needs and had great locations. Another shout out to Chathu - we ran out of Sri Lankan Rupees whilst in Kandy. Chathu offered to change sterling for us, as he was more likely to get a better deal (he knew the local customs and language). He did just that, and saved us a huge amount of time and effort, enabling us to enjoy more of our holiday. Chathu was a brilliant guide; trustworthy, kind, friendly, and knowledgable. Apple vacations, as a company, were highly communicative and very professional. I would definitely recommend.

I'm really not exaggerating but this three-day itinerary is fully packed with incredible experiences and activities! What really sets this trip amazing is how accommodating, punctual, hospitable, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and helpful my guide is, Buddika. Thank you ever so much and you made my trip to Sri Lanka an experience I will never forget. Indeed m second's favorite destination from all countries I've been to. Never had a dull moment even those long drive, you'll learn more about the local culture, traditions, religions, and foods. The enthusiasm of Buddika in making sure you don't just learn something about the country but rather experience them on your own. It was really convenient even the hotels we stayed in Ella and Kandy were really good they served really good breakfast and dinner too. I must say, I, for sure will return in Sri Lanka for more. The humility and kindness of every local people I've met imprinted beautiful memories in me. Highly Highly recommend! You need more than 4 days.

I really enjoyed my trip with apple vacations. They management team had really good communications and were quite flexible with customizations that I wanted. They also allowed me to choose my hotels. CJ was my driver/tour guide. He was the best driver/guide I’ve ever had. He was a pleasure to hang out with. He was very professional and there was no awkwardness, which is important when traveling alone as a female. His car was nice and clean. And he went out of the way to ensure I had a nice time, making adjustments along the way, etc. CJ took good care of me. I will definitely recommend CJ to friends and colleagues visiting Sri Lanka.

This was one of the most amazing tours I've ever been on. My 16 year old son and I went on a tour with Krish who was an amazing tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable, very personable, was focused on making sure we had a great time, and had an amazing attitude. I cannot recommend this enough - really amazing! I just wish we had more time - 5-7 days would have been WAY better, but we packed so much in 3 days it was really incredible!

We attended between 6/22-24. To say the least, the experience was not satisfactory. Everywhere we went it was full of scams and pushers trying to sell us craps, and the guide was moody and had an attitude that made us question whether he was really up to the task. It was especially worst when the guide left me behind and started showing only the female members with us. We will never use the services of this company in the future. Why does the quality of service depend on the mood of the guide? I really regret booking this plan.
The good thing was that the water pressure of the shower in the hotels was strong enough to satisfy us. However, she complained that she could not sleep at all because the hotel was located near a club.

Was a nice trip that covered a lot of things and our driver was so nice! I think with a lot of driving, it would be nice to have more stops and visits of local areas to stretch our legs. The accommodation was 3 star so would be nice if there was an option to upgrade or try something different here. Our initial thought was it might be with other people on the same tour (good way to talk and pass time when meeting new people) but a private tour was also nice in that we got to move onto the next activity fast.

Dear Dharshika ,
Thank you for choosing our "03 Days Highlights of Sigiriya, Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, Ella & Udawalawe" tour and for taking the time to share your feedback on Tripadvisor. We are thrilled to hear that you had a nice trip and that our driver provided excellent service throughout.
We appreciate your suggestion regarding more stops and visits to local areas. We understand that long drives can be tiring, and incorporating additional stops along the way would certainly allow you to stretch your legs and explore the local culture and attractions. We will take this into account and work on enhancing the itinerary to offer a more well-rounded experience for our guests.
Regarding accommodation, we apologize if the 3-star option did not meet your expectations. We understand that different travelers have varying preferences, and we are continuously striving to improve our offerings. In the future, we will definitely consider providing options for upgrades or alternative accommodations, allowing guests to tailor their experience to their specific needs and preferences.
We understand your initial thought of possibly having other people on the same tour to engage in conversations and make new acquaintances. However, we're glad to hear that you found value in the private tour as it allowed for a more personalized and efficient experience, moving onto the next activity quickly. We believe that striking a balance between social interactions and privacy is essential, and we will continue to explore ways to provide more opportunities for connection and engagement between guests.
Thank you once again for your valuable feedback. We genuinely appreciate your input as it helps us improve and refine our services. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back on another tour in the future. If there's anything else we can assist you with, please feel free to reach out to us.
Warm regards,

Estoy interesado en hacer este recorrido pero antes quisiera hacer unas preguntas;
Yo estare alojado en Negombo se me puede pasar a recojer en el hotel de Negombo
El circuito es en grupo o solo las personas que nos inscribimos
Se me podria enviar el nombre de los hoteles 3 estrellas del circuito
Haria la reserva en el mes de Marzo que ya estare hospedado en Negombo
Si no tienen que hacer el traslado del aeropuerto al hotel abarata el precio
El guia no podria ser de habla hispana
Saludos: Miguel
