Excellent experience!! My guide Chadhu was respectful and full of information. Very very helpful!! 10/10 . Guide at sigirya, Tilak was also exceptional!! A definite book.
However the village experience/ safari was not required after the long temple and sigriya climb. Too tired to do it!

Great trip, a little challenging climb
The trip was absolutely fantastic! Baby elephants were the highlight of our trip! Now, climbing Sigiriya rock was a little difficult due to humidity and heat. I recommend doing this tour in December - January, when Sigiriya region is more cool. I also wish lunch was a little better, had buffet option. Overall, the trip was fantastic. Highly recommend!

Great Guide, Great Attractions
The highlight of the trip was Rukshan, our driver and guide. He was respectful, courteous, and eager to please.
Rukshan's driving was perfect and he abided by the allocated time for each attraction. The choice of attractions was well-chosen as there is so much to see and do in the area.

Amazing Experience
Our nine-member group adventure tour with Apple Vacations was exceptionally well organised from arrival to departure, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience throughout. The itinerary provided an ideal balance of adventure, cultural immersion, and authentic Sri Lankan cuisine, catering effectively to the varied ages and interests within our group.
The tour's smooth execution was particularly impressive, as each day was thoughtfully planned to explore Sri Lanka at a comfortable pace without any sense of rush. We appreciated the blend of renowned attractions and less-visited sites, which offered a deeper and more genuine understanding of the country.
A notable highlight was the professionalism of our guide, Rukshan, and our driver, Indika. Rukshan demonstrated outstanding knowledge of Sri Lankan culture, history, and cuisine, complemented by his patience, professionalism, and genuine care for every member of the group. Indika ensured safe travel on challenging roads, further enhancing our comfort. The curated local food experiences distinguished the tour, with Apple Vacations selecting quality restaurants and authentic dining opportunities that reflected the region’s culinary diversity.
Memorable moments included our stay at the Hotel Blackpool in Kandy & Nuwara Eliya, which featured picturesque surroundings reminiscent of Switzerland, and a warm welcome from the owner of Leaf Monkey, who accommodated all our requests. The traditional Sri Lankan dishes served—such as fish curry, moringa leaf, and drumstick curry—were exceptional.
Apple Vacations also managed our niece’s wedding with professionalism and attention to detail. Dev and Suren coordinated flawlessly, maintaining calm and clear communication with over 180 guests through WhatsApp, promptly addressing concerns and ensuring smooth logistics. The wedding events, including Haldi, Mehndi night, and the beachside ceremony, were beautifully organised and enhanced by creative touches such as drone photography.
Throughout both the tour and wedding, transport arrangements were reliable, drivers were courteous, luggage handling was efficient, and guest guidance was well managed. Special recognition goes to Suren for his effective coordination of airport pickups.
In summary, Apple Vacations delivered a meticulously structured and warmly managed group adventure, as well as an unforgettable destination wedding. Their commitment to excellence and personalised service makes them highly recommended for culturally rich group tours or weddings in Sri Lanka. We would gladly choose their services again for future travel.

Must-do on your Sri Lanka trip!
What a mind-blowing tour! From visiting caves, to climbing Sigiriya and seeing baby elephants during the safari tour - I had such a great time exploring Sri Lanka with this company.

Exhausting and stressful.
Long journey more than 17 hours and picked up at 6.30 am. it was not worth as it’s a group tour and we pay same amount for each. The end of the tour we have select either safari or village and it was not mentioned before. The cost for safari is expensive and there shopping places also. It was not fit for you.

Just a waste money tbh
Do not go on this tour. The internet was supposed to be about 14hrs, but the actual duration was over 17hrs, I was late to the airport and almot missed boarding my plane. Also, the internet was way more different that the listing, like they took me to some random and unknown place where they forced me to purchase stuff that I did not even want. My driver, he was the worst part. I will never do this tour again. And to all of you reading this, never even think of going of this tour.

overall good experience
It was a pretty nice trip; the tour guide introduced us to some Sri Lankan culture and things to do in Sri Lanka.
Something that bothered me was the time management; it says the duration for the whole trip is 12-14 hours, but it ended up taking 16.5 hours. I headed out at 6:00 and returned to the accommodation at 22:30.
Also, the description should specify that after Sigiriya, customers get to pick between doing a village tour or the safari. It did not go like what the itinerary show.

WORST COMPANY EVER. ABSOLUTE TRASH. THEY ARE SOME SCAMMERS AVOUD THEM
The so called professional tour was absolute trash. ABSOLUTELY NOT RECOMMENDED. The tour was scheduled for 7:30 am and the driver came to pick us up 9:45 am. The driver was also very bad at English and he knew nothing he could barely speak any English and knew only to speak yes and no. The amount you are spending for this and the experience you are getting is absolutely -999 NEGATIVE. Absolute garbage, they are scammers and should avoid them. They made us spend money for absolute nothing. Ruined our whole holiday that we planed. WORST COMPANY EVER. THEY ARE SCAMMERS.

Dear Customer,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We take all reviews seriously and have carefully checked our operational records in response to your comments.
After a thorough review, we can confirm that there was no tour scheduled at 7:30 AM under our system for the date mentioned. Our tours generally begin at 6:00 AM or at a clearly pre-confirmed pickup time, which is always communicated to guests in advance via written confirmation. We do not operate tours without prior confirmation or clarity on pickup times.
At present, your review does not include a booking reference, guest name, or date, which prevents us from accurately identifying the service in question. We kindly request that you contact us directly with these details so we may properly investigate and address your concerns. Without such information, it is not possible for us to verify whether this experience relates to our company.
We would also like to clarify that we strongly reject the allegation of scamming. We do not engage in misleading practices, and our chauffeurs are trained professionals, selected based on experience, safety standards, and service quality. While English proficiency may vary depending on the service booked (chauffeur-only service vs. chauffeur-guide service), all our staff are briefed to ensure guests are transported safely and professionally according to the confirmed itinerary.
Delays of the nature described are not consistent with our operating standards, and if such an incident had occurred, it would have been recorded and escalated internally. We are always open to reviewing genuine service lapses and offering appropriate resolutions when supported by verifiable booking details.
If this review was posted in error or refers to another operator, we respectfully request that it be reviewed accordingly. We remain committed to transparency, accountability, and delivering quality travel experiences to our guests.
