This trip was outstanding. My guide, Ms San San Shwe was a font of knowledge, carefully planned the day to correspond with the heat and was happy to oblige with a side trip to ‘The Lady’s House’ to satisfy a bit of hero worship on my part. The circular railway was a great deal of fun also, but it was Ms Shwe’s knowledge, bubbly enthusiasm and obvious love of her country that won me over. If this is your first time in Myanmar, this is a must do tour. I was sooooo impressed.

We came into the Yangon seaport for 2 ½ days, and contacted to local tour operator Wonderful Myanmar for a private tour at the last minutes. Within an hour, Mr. Htun, holiday architect, came back with specific questions to fit the itinerary with our requirements! After back and forth with him, we got our customized detailed itinerary. I especially like his careful attention in arranging the itinerary as we've a 75 year old Grandmother with us. Payment was quite easy and we just paid them on arrival. What a care-free! In the morning, we were warmly welcomed by the very nice young man who spoke perfect English. On the fairly long drive from the port to Yangon, our guide Tom gave us a very detailed history of Myanmar and the city of Yangon, and what we were likely to see and experience on our days with him. When we arrived in Yangon we were struck by the Colonial architecture, colorful markets as well as the many Temples in two days. We learned so much about cultures, histories, local life right through interesting commentary of Tom. One of my highlight was a beautiful and immense Shweedagon Pagoda Complex - so stunning and wonderful to see. One has to remove shoes in this and all other Buddhist Holy Sites, and it being a very hot day my grandmother especially was not coping very well with the heat. At the top of the stairs Tom very kindly obtained a wheel chair for her and wheeled her round this beautiful and special world wander place. I highly recommend 100% to Wonderful Myanmar to anyone and good value for money with personalized services. I cannot emphasize enough how perfect everything was organized, how friendly, knowledgeable and professional they all were. Thank you so much. Ps. We spent one night in downtown and it’s better to recharge ourselves especially for grandmother.

Moe Moe from Real Treasure Travels & Tours was recommended to me by a friend who highly recommended her services. Moe Moe took great care in planning our itinerary and took into consideration the needs and interests of our travel party. Throughout the whole planning process, Moe Moe was very prompt in her communication and we were able to finalise the itinerary details very quickly. In this trip, we went to Mandalay, Bagan and Inle Lake and engaged Real Treasure Travels & Tours for Bagan and Inle Lake. We did not required a guide in Mandalay as we had a friend to bring us around. From Mandalay, we took a domestic flight to Bagan and started our tour with Moe Moe's team. Even though our tour only started in Bagan, She was very thoughtful and communicated to us the important things to note when leaving Mandalay, e.g. how early to leave our hotel in Mandalay so as to reach the airport by a certain timing. This was certainly helpful as we are not familiar with the road conditions and the travel time required. Thanks to her, we managed to catch our flight at a very comfortable pace! Moe Moe arranged one local guide in Bagan and one local guide in Inle Lake to bring us around Bagan and Inle Lake respectively. Both spoke good english and are extremely knowledgeable about the area and places of interest. We are very interested to know more about the daily lives of the locals and Moe Moe has very cleverly incorporated many workshops into our itinerary so that we can see and experience how their local products/ snacks are made. It was a very eye opening experience! We enjoyed those workshops, especially the cooking class at Inle Lake! Overall, we had a very comfortable and enjoyable trip in Myanmar. I would definitely recommend all to consider Real Treasure Travel & Tours as your travel agent when travelling in Myanmar. Moe Moe and her team are very nice and considerate people and has your best interests at heart when planning your itinerary. Her guides are extremely knowledgeable and friendly and it was a joy to meet them! Thank you Moe Moe, will contact you again if I have the opportunity to visit Myanmar again!
