Adventure Day Trips Collection

Dear Laneya and Lee,

I'm delighted to report that our trip to Burma was just fantastic.
Your hotels, guides, itinerary suggestions and arrangements were truly wonderful.  Of course, I fell in love with the gracious people and the traditional culture where religion, superstition and mythology blend into one.

Kenneth was the perfect guide, so erudite, humorous, kind, patient and professional. Everyone just loved him! In addition, he is a gourmand so his restaurant suggestions and menu ordering were first rate; a banquet every day.  

Everyone enjoyed the varied experiences but the luxurious Pandaw boat cruise with fascinating village trips and an amazing guide in Mr. "Go To", idyllic Inle Lake and the resort (unbelievably gorgeous) and the hikes to the ethnic minority villages were the definite highlights.  Oh, and did I mention the shopping?  Wow!

I felt so bad for the people involved in the tourism industry in Burma as very few tourists have come this year, as you know.  We all tried to do our best to tip as we went along.  Everyone brought supplies and we bought supplies in the market along the way.  We also gave money to the local guide in Kentung (charming, enthusiastic and absolutely fabulous with the tribal people) to buy medicines, which we delivered on our hikes.

Given the drama at the Bangkok Airport, it was greatly reassuring to learn in Mandalay that the Yangon Exotissimo office worked on an alternative plan B for us.  We really appreciated their efforts.

In conclusion, then, I can truthfully say that all of us have become enthusiastic ambassadors for Burma and will spread the word!

Looking forward to traveling with Exotissimo again!

Best,
Carla

Dear Sarah,

On behalf of your group, I would like to THANK YOU very much for organizing our trip within Myanmar.
It went very well, without any incidents and we had an amazing time.
We will be glad to recommend Exotissimo to our friends in the future.
I send attached a picture we took in Inle Lake.   Would you please submit it to our guide to make sure he can print a copy to the lady who warmly welcomed us into her house?

Thank you again.
Best regards,

Fabiano

Thank you very much for your incredible help to us during our time in Thailand. As you are aware, we were caught up in the ongoing events in Thailand and spent an extra week in Bangkok, just trying to get out and return home. Your company single handedly provided us with a security blanket and rescued us.

In fact, we are so appreciative of your services both before and during the crisis that we have told everyone to use your services when they travel to any of your company's locations. Please pass our regards on to Sue, the tour guide in Bangkok without whom our trip would never have been the same. Her unending concern for us and the efforts she expended to make sure we made it safely from Bangkok to Cambodia (Poipot) and her care to ensure that we got across the border to Cambodia were heroic. She is a gem to be treasured always.

Again, THANK YOU Exotissimo for a wonderful touring experience before the coup and an incredible job of rescuing us from our plight in Bangkok. We hope that your country resolves this crisis and your lives can return to the normality of day to day life again.

Sincerely yours,

Marvin and Michele Zwerin, Lana and Mike Einschlag

Hello Xang,

I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed our trip with you from Houey Say to Luang Prabang. Thank you for your kindness, your help with everything from food to happy rooms, your good company and your music.

I have so many good memories of our experiences, the hardest things often make the best memories. I especially enjoyed our trek with Soiyae to the Akha villages. I found the walking challenging but well worth it.

I have made some Lao food for my husband since I have been back in Australia - he really likes Larp Gai, spring rolls and fish soup. I want to make him some pho. I have been finding recipes on the internet for the things I want to try.

We loved your city of Luang Prabang - what a beautiful place to live.

We ended our trip with some time in Vietnam but we all agreed that we had fallen in love with your country of Laos. I am sure that having you as a guide was a big part of what made our trip so enjoyable.

Best wishes to you and your family,

Rosemary Ward (Romey)
