Excellent Service When We Needed It Most!
My husband and I flew all the way from Orlando, Florida, while the rest of our family joined us from Mumbai, India, for our long-awaited family vacation in Sri Lanka. To be honest, we had booked a few hotels on our own before finding Apple Vacations. Unfortunately, when we arrived, a couple of them were nothing like what was advertised online. We were tired, travelling with family, and it was already around 9 PM, so we were really worried. We immediately called Suren, and even at that hour, he answered our call and started working on a solution. Within a short time, he arranged accommodation for us in two lovely hotels in Ella so that everyone had comfortable rooms. It completely turned the situation around, and we can’t thank him enough for going above and beyond. A special thank you to our drivers, Aaron and Chandana. They weren’t just drivers—they became a part of our journey. They always had great recommendations, from the best time to do the safari to hidden local spots. One day they took us to a fantastic place in Kandy for authentic Indian dosa, and it honestly tasted just like home. Those little touches made such a big difference. What impressed us most was how much the entire Apple Vacations team genuinely cared about our experience. We always felt supported, and whenever we needed help, someone was just a phone call or WhatsApp message away. Sri Lanka is a beautiful country, but the people you travel with make all the difference. Suren, Aaron, Chandana, and the entire Apple Vacations team made this a vacation our family will never forget. We will definitely recommend Apple Vacations to our friends and family in both the USA and India, and we hope to return again soon!

Unforgettable experience in Sri Lanka
This was our first trip ever to Sri Lanka, but it won't be our last. From the time we landed until drop-off, we felt welcomed, safe, and fully comfortable. The van was clean and spacious. The places we were suggested all exceeded our expectations. We would recommend it to our friends and family, and special thanks to Rukhsar for being our tour guide throughout this journey🙏🌷

Best Services and Comfort that we could've gotten
Writing this from India 🇮🇳. This was one of our best decisions to hire a van from Apple Vacations, which we decided just on 15th Aug, and our travel from 16th to 24th was super comfortable and truly luxurious. If you're dealing with Arun, then you don't need to worry about anything after that and he takes care of your trip as if it's his own. Also, we had a great time with Ashintha (the guide and driver) who was of our age and took us to commercial as well as secret spots of Sri Lanka which are less touristy and more serene. He also gave us his own Karaoke for singing in the van for the entire trip. Lastly, it couldn't have been better than this is what all college friends and I think :) Thank you Arun
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful experience with us on your 09 Days Sri Lanka – Major Attractions Tour. We’re thrilled to hear that your journey across Sri Lanka was both comfortable and memorable from start to finish. It’s great to know that Arun made the planning process seamless and worry-free — he truly goes above and beyond for every guest. We’re equally happy to hear that Ashintha added extra joy and local flavor to your adventure, from hidden serene spots to fun karaoke moments in the van! Your kind words mean a lot to our entire team, and we’re so glad your group of college friends had such an unforgettable trip. We look forward to welcoming you all back soon for another beautiful journey across Sri Lanka! 🇱🇰

Sri Lanka & Maldives with Apple Vacations
Just returned from the most incredible holiday across Sri Lanka and the Maldives, organised by the amazing team at Apple Vacations Sri Lanka. Can honestly say everything was spot on—from the planning stages to the final airport drop-off.Lester was brilliant—super responsive, patient, and totally got what we were after. He crafted a tailor-made itinerary that gave us the perfect balance of adventure, culture, and chill time. And Deen, our driver and guide, was an absolute gent—punctual, polite, and full of insight. Made us feel safe and relaxed every step of the way. Sri Lanka really wowed us—the train ride from Nuwara Eliya to Ella was a proper postcard moment, absolutely stunning. We had a fab time at Yala National Park, where we spotted elephants and even caught a glimpse of a leopard. Climbing Sigiriya Rock was a bit of a challenge but so worth it for the views, and wandering around Galle Fort felt like being in a different world—charming, historic, and peaceful. The hotels chosen were spot on—each one had character, lovely views, and great service. Really impressed with the standard considering how cost-effective the whole trip was. To top it all off, Lester helped us book a Maldives resort at the end of our trip—genuinely couldn’t believe the deal we got. The place was stunning, with crystal-clear waters and an overwater villa that felt like something out of a dream. And all of it at a far better rate than anything we’d seen online.If you’re thinking of visiting Sri Lanka or doing a combo with the Maldives, don’t think twice—Apple Vacations is the way to go. They know their stuff, care about your experience, and deliver exceptional value. Cheers to the whole team for making it unforgettable!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience with us ! We’re delighted to hear that everything from the planning to the final drop-off went smoothly and that Lester and Deen made your holiday extra special. It’s great to know you enjoyed the balance of adventure, relaxation, and comfort, along with the hotels we carefully selected. We’re thrilled that the Maldives finale was the perfect ending to your trip, and we’re so glad we could secure a great deal for you. Your kind words mean the world to us, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another unforgettable journey!

Why this scores 78
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
09 Days in Sri lanka - Major Attractions: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Colombo.
How much does 09 Days in Sri lanka - Major Attractions cost?
+
Prices start at $900 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Colombo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 09 Days in Sri lanka - Major Attractions take?
+
Plan for about 216 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Colombo is not rushed.
Is 09 Days in Sri lanka - Major Attractions worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 19 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Colombo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 09 Days in Sri lanka - Major Attractions?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 09 Days in Sri lanka - Major Attractions suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 216-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 09 Days in Sri lanka - Major Attractions?
+
Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Colombo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Colombo and add a light layer if any part of the 216-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 09 Days in Sri lanka - Major Attractions start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Colombo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Colombo?
+
On Outty we rank every Colombo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Flexi dates on all 5 to 7 days packages for car and English speaking driver, Sri Lanka Personal Tour Driver in private vehicle, 08 Nights in Magical Sri Lanka. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Colombo?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Colombo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
