Hi Peregrine
I'm so pleased you had a great time returning to Myanmar and it was great to hear on the phone that all the hotels and guides (including the specialist birdwatching guide) were all faultless and everything worked like clockwork. We'd be delighted to arrange another holiday for you again!
Best wishes

The prefect combination of exciting and stunning travel combined with perfect beach relaxation.

We spent 12 days travelling around the major sights of Myanmar which pretty much all exceeded expectations. Bagan is stunning, lake Inle a gem and the country overall yet to be totally spoiled by Tourism. We then had 6 nights on a the fabulous Ngapali beach. Experience did a great job in hotel choice and planning and the 20 days went without a hitch and with a lot of enjoyment. A fabulous country, totally secure without any sign of trouble...

Amazing Touring Holiday in Myanmar

Visited Yangon, Bagan, Mandalay and Lake Inlay. Our holiday included a balloon flight over Bagan and a 2 night cruise on the Irrawaddy River. We had the most amazing guides who made our holiday really special. Myanmar has the most lovely people of anywhere that I have visited, they are so happy and welcoming.

Experience Travel organised the most amazing holiday in Myanmar. Everything was very well organised and the 16 day holiday went very smoothly indeed. The guides that we had were all exceptional.

Excellent cultural experience

The whole experience in both Laos and Myanmar was wonderful - from the meet and greet at the airport, our friendly and responsive guides, the excellent and varied boutique hotels, our cruise from Bagan to Mandalay, our experiences - twelve flights, thirteen boat rides including a cruise, three trishaw rides and two horse and cart rides made for a fascinating trip. We must have seen hundreds of pagodas and temples but our guides made the whole ...

We must have seen hundreds of pagodas and temples but our guides made the whole experience feel very special. I would recommend Ngapali beach as a place to relax and chill after all the sightseeing.

Rating for tour operator:

They listened to us and provided a bespoke tailor made holiday which had the right balance of experiences but plenty of down time to relax by a pool or the beach

Myanmar Odyssey

A fantastic 2 week trip to various locations in Myanmar. Tasty street food in Yangon with river shrimp to die for. Balloon ride over Bagan at dawn is so iconic. Cruising on the Irrawady is a great way to relax and meet some locals at the villages. Lake Inle was as good as it gets in SE asia. Hsipaw was stunning for being off the beaten track and meeting local Shan villagers. Mandalay was a great way to finish up. I have wanted to visit Myanamar ...

I have wanted to visit Myanamar for many years and this holiday made it all happen in a perfect way. A dream come true.

Experience Travel are people I have travelled with over the years and they continue to put together fantastic itineraries. it always hits the spot for wildlife, culture, relaxing, food, and quality accommodation. The service is friendly and responses are quick for all questions and queries. I tend to come up with the bare bones for a trip and they put all the meat on the bones to make it work. and work it does, time and time again.

Myananmar by boat

Our three week trip in Myanmar was exceptional. A superb 15 day trip up the Irrawaddy River with Pandaw and a separate visit to Inle Lake gave us a good feel for Myanmar and its wonderful people.
