Nuwara Eliya (Sinhalese: නුවර එළිය [nuwərə ɛlijə]; Tamil: நுவரெலியா) is a city in the hill country of the Central Province, Sri Lanka. Its name means "city on the plain (table land)" or "city of light". The city is the administrative capital of Nuwara Eliya District, with a picturesque landscape and temperate climate. It is at an altitude of 1,868 m (6,128 ft) and is considered to be the most important location for tea production in Sri Lanka. The city is overlooked by Pidurutalagala, the tallest mountain in Sri Lanka. Nuwara Eliya is known for its temperate, cool climate – the coolest area in Sri Lanka.

Having retired and still wishing to travel, Sri Lanka was high on my list of places to visit and I was not wrong in my initial feeling that here was a country well worth the effort. Having spent the initial week in Colombo - there are lots of things to see and do here as well, I had booked a solo tour with Sightseeing Sri Lanka Tours. I communicated with the proprietor, Jerome Jansz, beforehand and agreed a 6-day itinerary. It is worth pointing out at this stage that Jerome is happy to adapt a tour to suit you. For me, Jerome booked all my accommodation for the tour in modest accommodation, which enables me to discover more of the country than staying in the usual hotels. Activities included turtle hatchery, Galle fort, Whale watching, wildlife safari, Temples, spectacular scenic train ride, herb and spice garden, tea factory, and World Heritage Site. I cannot praise Jerome enough for looking after me so well in the 6 days of my tour. He represented his country in exemplary fashion and is to be commended for that alone. Please use his services whether you are a solo traveller or a small group.

It’s a great experience. The ambiance is very welcoming and charming. Amazing food and service. Staff are extremely polite and friendly and I just want to say that, in addition to awesome food, we had a delightful waiter, “Dhanushka”. He had just the right balance of friendliness and efficiency. He recognized that we wanted time to visit and made certain that we had everything we needed.

We had booked a car with chauffeur for 7 days with pickup & drop off at Colombo airport. The driver Nishan, was courteous & very friendly. We visited Colombo, Hatton, Kandy, Dambulla, Sigiriya & Negeombo. Considering we did not visit a lot of the usual popular tourist places like Ella, it was a bit tough finding our way around but overall it was a great experience. Mr Sankalpa was very helpful in planning our trip before we left from NewYork & worked with us to get the itinerary we wanted. Highly recommend Red Apple Colombo. Thank you

We made our own plan to travel around Sri Lanka. A tour a little bit different than most people do in Sri Lanka. Beside of the cultural triangle we also wanted to travel to the north (Jaffna area) and the east (Trincomalee area). I contacted Darshana if it's was possible to arrange a good English speaking driver for us. I got almost immediately and friendly response. Darshana offered also to think along with our itinerary. Our driver Suneth made our 6-day tour an unforgettable experience! Suneth is a really nice and friendly person and a very safe driver and think along with our plans. He told us a lot about Sri Lanka during our trip which was very interesting. We couldn't have a better driver!

This was amazing! Our guides were awesome! Travelling around Colombo quickly and efficiently, seeing all the sites close up, with photo stops anytime you wanted! We visited Hindu temples and Buddhist temples with complete explanations by our guides. We stopped at two local shops for authentic souvenirs, and then went for lunch for authentic Sri Lankan cuisine. The tour was advertised to be 3-4 hours, but ours was 5+ hours!
