Dear Judy,

That's really lovely. So pleased you had a great time in Myanmar. We hope that 2020 will be the year that Myanmar gets back on traveller's radars.

We very much hope we can help you again in future and please do recommend us if any of your friends wish to think about a holiday. We'd be happy to talk through the options with them.

Best,

Put together a fantastic itinerary for us and which ran like clockwork from our first approach to them to every mode of transport, guides, planned trips and hotels. Cannot recommend Experience Travel Group highly enough as they were fantastic in all aspects .

Marvellous Myanmar

We had a brilliant 2 weeks in Myanmar organised by Experience travel. all their arrangements worked seamlessly starting in Mandalay, via Bagan, Kalaw, Inle Lake to end in Yangon. we especially valued the chance to do some less popular things like the train ride from Heho to Kalaw, the cooking class on lake Inle and the visit to U Thant's house in Yangon. The local guides could not have been better. The choice of hotels met our wishes and expectat...

This was our 3rd trip with ETG. We rate them so hihgly that for this one we did not obtain alternative quotes. They give a personal service and we feel they understand us well. we value the continuity in dealing with he same person more than once

Holiday of a lifetime!

Experience Travel provided us with an itinerary which gave us a very good overview of Myanmar. It also included experiences I.e. Home visit to witness cooking on charcoal stoves & joining the family for lunch. Also a train journey to visit a local market. Neither of these experiences seem to have been done by other tourists we met.

Experience Travel provided us with an excellent itinerary with excellent guides & hotels. David Gookey, our advisor, very quickly seemed to understand our requirements resulting in us staying at small excellent hotels & the suggested things to do/see always seemed to be just what we wanted!

we enjoyed a 3 week trip exploring both the well known places as well as the less developed areas . we also balanced the trip with a variety of walks and activities as well as time fro several half day breaks to relax. the Myanmar people are incredibly friendly and welcoming. the colours of the country are outstanding, wonderful dusty landscapes with rice fields and palm trees as well as so many amazing pagodas rich in colour and symbolism. our best parts were the less well known places but Lake Inle and Bagan are must do places and are still not overrun y tourists. perhaps the two big cities Yangon and mandalay whilst you have to see them are not so interesting as the rest of the country both being very busy with cars in Yangon and motor cycles in Mandalay.

Rating for tour operator:

our tour operator tailored a trip fro our needs and knew how to do so and suggest appropriate hotels and means of travel.
