      TravelerWritten December 2025

      Why single cost for 5 days tour is double the price, as I am joining guarantee group tour additional should be hotel room only?

    • Apple Vacations Pvt LtdOperatorWritten December 2025

      The double price ensures minimum group size requirements are met. You pay for a second spot to cover fixed costs like the guide, driver, and the transport.

      TravelerWritten December 2025

      Is it really expensive for single supplement fee for book a single room for 4 nights if I need to pay 290 USD? The cost which you gave us is not included with entrance tickets for sightseeing right? Please kindly tell me how much for the entrance tickets for sightseeing which listed in your itinerary!!!

    • Apple Vacations Pvt LtdOperatorWritten December 2025

      If you are travelling alone you have to pay USD 840 for single room and yes above cost is without entrance tickets, entrance fees would come around $ 220.

    Asked on February 28th, 2025

    • Apple Vacations Pvt LtdOperatorWritten March 2025

      Pick up time is between 07.30am - 09.30am. Its group tour and no one booked on the date you will go alone as private, yes with English speaking chauffuer. Yes can drop to airport early on last day no issue.

      Joshua

      TravelerWritten March 2025

      So to make the 7:30-9:30 AM pick up I will need to start tour on 18th and spend night in colombo. My flight on the 22nd leaves at 16:00PM-so can I get late drop off to airport at the end f the tour? Can I get the hotels? are they 3 star? 4 star?

    • J

      Joshua

      TravelerWritten March 2025

      1) If I arrive at the airport at 2PM am I too late to do the Day 1 itinerary? Should I stay overnight in in a hotel in colombo and start the tour on 18th so that I do not miss anything? Then, can you pick me up from a hotel and take me to dambulla? 2) in the brochure it says that the hotels are all 4 star? Can you give me the names? 3) Are entrance fees to temples/attractions included? If not, how much extra am I going to have to pay? 4) I sleep with a CPAP machine at night so all the hotel rooms need to have a socket next to the bed so that I can plug in my machine-do they?

    • Apple Vacations Pvt LtdOperatorWritten March 2025

      1- Yes, preferred to stay at Colombo at start to tour on next day, Even if we pick up from airport and start the tour at 02.00pm, we can do one or two sightseeing only and then we can manage to do the all the sights on day 02. 2- Hotel names- Colombo - Fairway or similar hotel, Sigiriya - Kassapa lIon rock or similar hotel, Kandy - Topaz or Similar, Ella - 88th Ella or Oakray Ella Gap. 3- Entrance fees are not included on the package - $ 230, Other than shopping and lunch need to pay directly. 4- Sure we request, that to all the hotels, or otherwise we can provide power extention socket at the all the hotels.

    • J

      Joshua

      TravelerWritten March 2025

      1) Do you pay for the train to Ella? Do i have a spot in the train? What if there is flooding? 2) what do I have to pay- for 4 star hotel, single person.

    • Apple Vacations Pvt LtdOperatorWritten March 2025

      1 - Yes, We will reserve the train tickets and if there is any floor or bad weather train will be cancell and will use road to Ella. (Still we try to offer short train atleast, if possible). 2 - all the hotel mentioned above is 4* except in Ella, As Ella city don't have much hotel options. Ella can be upgrade to Luxury hotel if you want. For the upgrade cost would come around $ 80 hotel in Ella, can be paid on arrival as well.

    • J

      Joshua

      TravelerWritten March 2025

      Can I confirm that you already have the train tickets? Or do you need to book them?

    • J

      Joshua

      TravelerWritten March 2025

      I understand that you have to book a month in advance as they sell out so quickly so that means no train and that was very important to me

    Asked on January 12th, 2025

    I'm a single Australian traveller keen to do your 5 day Serene Sri Lanka trip over the Easter period, from Fri 18 thru Tues 22 April. Happy to go alone or fit in with others. I'm a very experienced traveller. Is there likely to be something available at that time?

    Group size
    Tour Details
    • Apple Vacations Pvt LtdOperatorWritten January 2025

      Yes tour is availble on your requested days and you can book it. at the movement there no booked for same tour, may be last minutes also people may join and its depends.

    • S

      Sabrina

      TravelerWritten January 2025

      I just want to clarify that the tour will go ahead, even if for some reason I ended up the only starter. Naturally I would assume I would then just be accompanied by a combined guide/driver. I'm a very experienced and fit 70 year old Aussie traveller who has visited most of the world and I'm very flexible and able to fit in. But I need to be absolutely sure before I lock in my flights and pay the air fares.

    • Apple Vacations Pvt LtdOperatorWritten January 2025

      surely you can lock the flights and even one person book the tour on the day, we will proceed the tour.
