    Asked on June 16th, 2025

    I'm hoping to book a Beyond Boundaries Experiencing the Best of Sri Lanka : 11 Days tour, leaving on either the 26th or 27th of June. I'm a solo traveler and am wondering if anyone else is booked on this tour on these dates. If there are no others booked on this tour, can you recommend a similar tour within these dates? I can be a little flexible with tour start dates.

    Tour Details
    • Apple Vacations Pvt LtdOperatorWritten June 2025

      At the movement there no one booked same dates, If you like to go with group tours or travel with others, There are tours but all the tours are same, some tour short, So can suggest if you book the tour what ever date, We can maximum try to other people like a group and if there no people untill joined for last minute you can customise as well. We garantee we have serrved lots of solo travellers. Cost would come around US$1,860.00 for singale person.

      Shirley

      TravelerWritten January 2024

      Is it possible to add Anuradhapura (world heritage site to the itinery? As I understand, there is no tour guide because the driver acts as the guide? Will he have knowledge of the history of the different places?

      yes we are providing additional guide services at all the heritage places
