- IAIsabelita· November 8th, 2025We joined this tour 22-26 November 2025. It was a good experience. The accomodations were excellent. Places and activities from Day 1 to day 3 were exhausting but exciting, especially the climb to Sigiriya rock. The driver assigned to us from Nuwara Eliya to Ella was not familiar with the tourist destinations, he kept on asking from the locals which way to take. We wasted time on the 4th day, waited for 3 hrs in the train station to Ella, missed lunch. The driver did not even offer to take us to a nearby resto. The 5th day was hectic: climbed Adams peak, to the 9 arch bridge then joined the safari. I rate safari 2.5/5 as there were very few animals. It was more of bumpy ride. Over-all, it was worth the money.Show moreTrip date: October 2025

- WWWendy· October 29th, 2025The tour was very nice overall but we did not enjoy the 3rd day. Gregory Lake was filtlhy and the train ride wasn't great since it was hours late (which is almost always the case) and there was a loud rude group on our train which made it hard to relax and enjoy the experience.Show moreTrip date: October 2025
Simon· September 7th, 2025Good tour, takes you to lots of interesting places in Sri Lanka. I would've like to be in a van or bus with other tourists so there were others to talk to. That happened on the first day, but the remaining four days were only me and a driver, different driver each day. On the trip to Yala national park, the driver asked me for 42,000 rupees for entry, hire of jeep, and driver. I don't know if that was the correct price. I asked for a receipt but was not given one. Still, I enjoyed the 5 days.Show moreTrip date: August 2025- LMLauren· August 10th, 2025Overall, my tour of Sri Lanka was a wonderful. There was beautiful scenery, amazing history, and a knowledgeable driver/guide. However, a few details did not match the itinerary provided. I was expecting a 2nd class train ticket but received a 3rd class ticket on the slow train, which made the 5+ hour journey to Ella very crowded and uncomfortable. In addition, we did not stop at Hanuman Hindu Temple, which had been listed as part of the tour. While I still enjoyed much of the trip (particularly Sigirya Rock and Dambulla Cave Temple), I would suggest confirming ticket classes and all planned stops in advance to ensure traveler expectations are met.Show moreTrip date: July 2025

My tour guide and driver was incredibly patient and understanding, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. I had the time of my life and can’t recommend this tour enough! The hotels were fantastic—no complaints at all! Just a heads up: if you prefer a warm room, don’t forget to pack some bug spray. Trust me, you won’t want to miss out on this adventure!Show more

Asked on October 8th, 2025What time the tour ends on Day 5 (Yala National Park), so that my guests can book the return flights appropriately

Sally
Asked on September 21st, 2025How much walking is involved? My mom cannot do strenuous activities. I am really interested in the Yala national park, in particular the opportunity of seeing leopards. It feels a lot of activities are packed in the last day, are they all feasible while still enjoying the safari? Will all the activities be carried out as outlined in the itinerary? Or do you expect any change? Would it be possible eventually to add one last night on last day of the tour so we can leave the day after without stress?
- Apple Vacations Pvt LtdOperator•Written September 2025
Everyday small walking is involved, but adventure activities can skip, all sights not must visited places, your mom can choose no issue at all. As per the tour plan on last day, you have chance to visit Yala park for half day only - around 03 hours inside the park. All the activities will be followed as per itinerary, but if it feel like adventure can skip no issue at all. Yes sure no issue at all, can add and customize as well, will be additionally charged.
