Exotissimo "Footprint" Tours

It is a great pleasure for me - on behalf of the entire group - to thank you very much for the outstanding realization of a great trip through your country.

All in all we have had no problem. Your choice of hotels and restaurants has been excellent, the splitting of the daily sightseeing was agreeable - the right way for some older people.

Our guide was a great pleasure to us. He has great experience to impart to us the facts of a foreign country in -that wouldn´t be normal - excellent German language.

We will recommend Exotissimo without reservations!

Kind regards from Germany,

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,

Dear Piseth,

I cannot believe our holiday has been and gone!

Thank you for organizing such a great time. The guides and locations were fantastic. T in Phnom Pehn did an especially memorable job and we will remember him always. We have about 3000 pictures which my family took and I now have the job of sorting them out.  The hotels were terrific even though one was still under construction near Kratie.  You live in a beautiful country and I hope politically things will sort themselves out.

This holiday will stay in all our memories for sure.  I am now very intrigued to visit Laos so I may well be in touch soon.! Who knows.

I will for sure mention the company to anyone asking about our trip to help spread the word

My daughter by the way enjoyed the elephant ride.

Have a great year and I am sorry we did not to meet you but it was a busy time

All the best

We write to thank you very much for a fantastic holiday in Myanmar organized through Exotissimo.

We are particularly impressed by the efficient services provided at the hotels.

We also want to thank your tour guides and drivers who work untiringly to meet our endless requests and demands in order to make us feel comfortable and welcome.

Congratulations and well done!

Based on the above wonderful experience, we have decided to plan another trip to Myanmar, this time to the far Northern Province of Kachin for trekking. Could you please tell us what is the best time to trek in the mountains and could you also kindly forward to us your recommended itinerary for our consideration?

We look forward to hearing from you soon.
