    · December 7th, 2024
    Thank you Apple and particularly to our wonderful guide Mr. C.J. (Chanaka) for an unforgettable 5 day tour through Sri Lanka. We were happy to explore the country in the probably best possible way: Individual, flexible, with all needed information, safe driving, caring for everything. With C.J.'s great experience we were able to encounter a lot of small extras and adhoc specials. Thank you C.J. for everything - You are a great host, guide, driver and "ambassador" for your country. A 100% recommendation for all who wish to explore Sri Lanka in a few days.

      Do I have to tell the driver to take me there and how much extra will it cost if he has the time to take me to the Pidurangale rock, because he will have to wait for us to be finised to take us back to the hotel again. And he would take us also to the train station to drive to Ella?

      Nancy

      TravelerWritten April 2024

      Can I really depend on it that a driver would take us to Tangalle hotel as a complimentary tour? Can you send it to me per email? We really don't want to go to Udawalawe and not to Yala national park. Is there something else we can do instead of going to the park?

    • Apple Vacations Pvt LtdOperatorWritten April 2024

      Sure its confirmed drop to Tangalle Hotel. Sure you can skip the National park safari and on the day driver will manage to saw any interesting places as per time allows on the day.

    Teresa

    Asked on March 23rd, 2024

    Can you please tell me, if it would be possible to stay in Galle instead of driving to Colombo airport, because after the tour we move on to the beach hotel in Tangalle. So it would be easier for us to stay here after we check out in Galle hotel instead of driving all the way back up to Colombo.
