Gus· April 8th, 2025We had a great 4-night private tour in Sri Lanka with Keerthe as our guide, and he truly made the trip unforgettable. From the moment he picked us up in Colombo, his warm, professional demeanor and deep knowledge of the country set the tone for an amazing adventure. Keerthe expertly navigated us through a packed itinerary, starting with a Colombo city tour featuring Gangaramaya Buddhist Temple and Independence Square, before heading south to Galle. Along the way, he introduced us to unique experiences like the turtle hatchery and the Madu River cruise, complete with a cinnamon-making demo and a ticklish fish foot massage. His thoughtful planning ensured we hit highlights like Galle Fort, whale watching in Mirissa (where we spotted dolphins and a breaching whale), and the scenic 9 Arches Bridge in Ella. He was a steady presence on the winding roads to Ella, Nuwara Eliya, and Kandy, sharing insights about tea plantations, British-era architecture, and local culture. Keerthe’s flexibility shone through when he arranged a train ride over the 9 Arches Bridge, coordinated a tuk-tuk trip to Ambuluwawa Tower, and guided us through the Sacred Tooth Relic Temple in Kandy. His passion for Sri Lanka’s history was evident at Sigiriya Rock, where he explained the ancient palace ruins, and at Dambulla Cave Temple. Beyond his knowledge, Keerthe was patient, accommodating, and attentive—whether arranging an early-morning safari to see elephant herds or ensuring we had time to rest after long drives. The village tour, with its ox cart ride and home-cooked lunch, was a personal favourite. Over 550km and 15 hours of driving, he kept us safe and comfortable. One small suggestion: it would have been helpful to have more clarity upfront about the cost to enter each attraction and whether cash or cards were needed, as this varied from the original tour guidance and caught us off guard a few times. Keerthe made our trip a perfect blend of adventure, education, and relaxation. We’d recommend him to anyone visiting Sri Lanka—thank you, Keerthe, for an exceptional experience!Show more
Trip date: March 2025- PFPatricia· March 13th, 2024We only had 6 days, this trip really gave you a taste of Sri Lanka. Aaron our guide was brilliant, helpful and informative, even arranging a separate excursion for one of our party who couldn't partake in a walk. Accomodation was of a high standard, food was lovely with a good selectionShow moreTrip date: March 2024

Asked on August 13th, 2025I would like to book one of your tours together with my 12-year old daughter. Before I book I wanted to ask if this tour is suitable for august and if the baby turtles are released into the sea during this time of the year. Also I wanted to ask if this is a group tour.

Turtle can release and only in early morning and evening only, as there is challenges to release in the day time. Its a group tour and it will be operated in English only.

Traveler•Written August 2025Does it still make sense to start the tour on the 23rd or is it better to stay one night in Colombo and start the tout on the 24th?
- Apple Vacations Pvt LtdOperator•Written August 2025
On arrival day there is no much sights to be cover, only Colombo highlights to be covered. If you could arrive bit earlier it would be better, but still we can arrange the things as per the 03.00pm arrival time and on arrival day we will provide Colombo stay, its included on the package, you don't need to book. So we can start the tour on 23 no issue at all.

Traveler•Written August 2025We would like to travel to Tricomale after the tour and would like to take the train in this direction from Sigiriya, we will not return to Colombo.

Regarding the food allergies of your daughter you discuss with hotel once you are here not an issue. We can drop to Habarana or Kurunegala railway station, as Sigiriya there is no railway station.
