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

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

My husband and I really enjoyed our trip that you organized for us.  It was efficient and enjoyable and we have awarded Exotissimo (and yourselves especially) 10/10!  I hope you read all the feedback on your forms given to us by your guides.  It contained a lot of information which I think would be useful for you.  Your guides were excellent - both knowledgeable and willing - and the drivers and cars used were comfortable and safe.

For my part, I enjoyed the contact with the people and the experience of being in the countries as much as the sights themselves.  Therefore, I think an experience such as the cooking course is a highlight because it was so different from temples/museums.  The boat trips along the Mekong were also most enjoyable.

Kind regards,

Prasert:

Thank you for putting together a very memorable trip for my family and me to Vietnam.

Both Ha and Mandy, our guides in the North and South, were terrific.

Everything went very smoothly and we enjoyed very much the activities and sights you planned for us.

The cruise on Halong Bay was a standout and so were our travels throughout the Mekong Delta.

We appreciate also your flexibility (and that of your guides) when we wanted to make last minute changes.

Mandy got us into the Vietnam War Remnants museum at the last moment.

Again, our thanks to you and to your wonderful guides, Ha and Mandy, and the excellent drivers who worked with them.

Thanks!

Best regards,

Neal
