Review for Myanmar Tour Packages From England

Myanmar Holiday 14 days (9 Jun – 22 Jun 2017)
Good morning Hue
Thank you for your e.mail and we very much enjoyed the farewell dinner, the food was good and the staff very attentive.We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Myanmar, but regretfully 2 weeks in not sufficient time to really get to know the country or the people, although I understand we were very lucky with the weather. We went out into the community as much as possible and everyone we encountered was only to keen to assist and we felt safe at all times. All the transfers were waiting for us, the cars were clean and the drivers polite and helpful.Perhaps the only helpful hint I can think of us is that we found the 'process' through the internal airports different to the international airports that everybody is used to, and therefore perhaps printed guidelines to tourists as to what to expect and what the process is at these airports would be useful, but we did see other tourists who were struggling to understand whether or not it was their flight which was leaving. By our last flight we fully understood the 'sticker' system and knew what to look out for. The maps that you provided at the beginning was well used by the end of the trip.Your company provided us with everything that we asked for and were especially supportive through the issue of the lost wallet, keeping in touch with us and advising us of the best action to take. This event in no way detracted from our enjoyment of the trip.I know there is a great interest in this country about holidays to Myanmar and I would be happy to pass on your details to anybody I know who may want to visit your country.We may well come back to you to visit again or to one of your other destinations!Regards

Myanmar discovery 14 Feb – 27 Feb 2018
Dear Mr. Hoang
Please find attached our end of tour report on Discover Burma Special as requested, which is being posted to your Yangon office under a separate cover by mail. May I take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks to each and every member of your staff responsible for organising and the execution of a thoroughly enjoyable tour. We would particularly like to thank Ms Hue Nguyen for her prompt response to my emails and amendments to our itinerary as requested and to Ms Nway Nway in your Yangon office to take time off work specially to help my wife with her shopping in Yangon. We were particularly interested in the Dargah of Bahadur Shah Zafar, the last King of India who died in1862 , exiled in Yangon by British for allegedly involved in India’s first revolt against British colonial rule. In all probability I expect the President of India to visit his grave in Yangon on his forthcoming official visit to Myanmar.
I have no hesitation in recommending your Company to individuals seeking individualised guided tour of Myanmar without being charged unreasonable costs or being choked with Pagoda fatigue. Our itinerary was well balanced and I strongly recommend the same to others unless they have personal preferences. I have made some suggestions and comments in my report for your consideration. Should you desire further clarification on any of my comments, please do advise.
Yours sincerelyTour Guides:

Inle Lake – Ka YeMandalay – Phoo Pyae Tin Win
Pyin Oo Lwin – Phoo Pyae Tin Win
Kyaukmw – Phoo P Tin Win
Monywa – Thar Kyaw
1. Tour Guide at Inle Lake Mr. Ya Ke was outstanding with his local knowledge, courteous behavior, general helpfulness, patience and command of English language & communication.
2. Our Tour guide in Mandalay/Pyin Oo Lwin & Kyaukme , Ms Phoo Paye , is a very sweet girl although bit shy. Had good local knowledge and was willing to do more than was expected of her in the line of her duty. She was very accommodating to our requirements. Willing to learn & discover for us any information not immediately available to her. Always smartly dressed with an ever-lasting smile on her face. My wife became very fond of her. She qualified as a tour guide less than 4 months ago and we think she will gain in confidence in future & will become an excellent tour guide. We had slight problem initially with her accent but soon learnt to understand her.
3. Our guide in Monywa, Mr. Thar Kyaw, was very confident of himself with many years of experience as a travel guide with English speaking clients. Good knowledge all round knowledge & we enjoyed his company. One of the best guides on our tour.
4. Tour Guide in Bagan, Mr. Tan Win, was good and covered all the important sites we were interested in. Was very helpful in assisting us climb Mount Popa (Taung Kalat) at our age. Willing to learn from us about Hinduism & about Hindu idols worshiped as Nats in Popa.
5. We had 2 tour guides in Yangon. The first guide was Mr. Ko Than Tan who spoke good English but we were put off with his mannerism & dress code. We conveyed our displeasure about him to Ms. Nway Nway of your company who replaced him next morning & volunteered to accompany us on our return to Yangon before departure. For it we are obliged to Myanmar Tours. We appreciate Ms. Nway Nway’s help in shopping & places of interest to us in Yangon.
Comments.
We were very pleased with the overall quality of services provided by Myanmar Tours. The itinerary & choice of hotels was good. The vehicles were clean & met our approval with safe drivers. It was never too much for Company to comply with our requirements and last minute changes. Well-groomed & well attired guides with pleasing mannerism. Very polite, courteous & helpful staff & guides with overall good local knowledge and reasonable command of English language. It was arranged as a private tour to meet our requirements. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & travel in Myanmar and have no hesitation in recommending Myanmar Tours Company to others seeking a reliable tour operator with competitive pricing. The highlight of the tour is a visit to lake Inle and rail journey from Pyin Oo Lwin to Kyaukme over Gokteik via- duct.
Recommendations.
Customers wising to travel by train from Pyin Oo Lwin to Kyaukme to view Gokteik railway bridge should be advised to return back by car after the rail journey for an over night stay in Pyin O Lwin instead of Kyaukme. Road journey takes no more than 3-4 hours drive. Hotel accommodation at Kyaukme is suitable for those wishing an adventurous life style. There is nothing to see in Kyaukme . We had a very uncomfortable stay at the only guesthouse available. Accommodation is substandard, no running hot water, walls covered with cobwebs, no toilet paper or soap for hand wash on arrival and walls stained where mosquitoes had been overpowered by humans. There is TV in rooms with only one channel working with poor reception. Free Wi –Fi available if you are prepared to sit in the reception area sharing limited space with other guests busy organizing trekking with local guides. Do not expect have high level of service and breakfast is rationed. We were lucky to be invited by a local host for home cooked dinner.
