Myanmar Adventure Tours

I just returned back home last 19th November after my long trip in Southeast Asia - Myanmar, Thailand, Southern Laos, Vietnam.

As promised I would like to send you this feedback regarding the trip in Myanmar. It was marvelous and my dream is now a reality. We had a real good time preparing the trip, changes, choosing the best itinerary and I honestly think we did it well, and thanks to your efficient and good work, everything ran very smooth, perfect and without problems.

I would say the trekking from Kalaw to Inle Lakewas one of the most beautiful experiences in our lives. It's not so hard, and the landscapes are so beautiful ! The porters helped us a lot, and the cooking was excellent. The meals were perfect. Overnight in the monastery was also an experience.

Highly recommended this trekking like we did it. For those clients who like to walk, and accept the accommodation like it is, I would say it's a different way to know the country, to breathe the clean air, to be in the nature.

Myanmar is a beautiful country and we try to convince our friends and relatives they should come and visit it. Exotissimo is a good reference for those who like to travel around Southeast Asia, as I could see either in Laos or Vietnam.

Warmest regards,

Myanmar Tours - November 2009

We went with your tour from Pyin Oo Lwin to Muse by bicycle some days ago.

We just want to say thank you. We enjoyed the tour very much. With Choung we got a very good guide who made the tour for us even more pleasant. He made us feeling free as much as possible and gave us support and extensive information when necessary or we asked for it.

Many greetings!

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
