I am playing catch up as I haven't been here in quite a while,In 2016/2017 my partner and I travelled to Myanmar having a 3 week custom private tour. The Team at Tour East were excellent, Not only did everything go as planned the guides provided in each area were extremely knowledgeable and made suggestions re our itinerary to compliment what was already planned. Balloons over Bagan was probably a highlight however the while trip over something for all the senses and the people we met were wonderful.

Spectacular is the view scenery but what’s important is the Travel Agency who is able to take u around and make u feel as a local. Try local food at hidden stores yet explore the gems of Myanmar. Travel safe and travel with friends friends is how they are.

Due to Covid-19 we have been 'stuck in Yangon for 5 months. The Government opened up domestic travel and we contacted Zaw Min Oo @ Jack. He arranged our accomodations, flight to Mandalay, road trips to Bagan, Kalaw and Inle Lake (smaller flight routes still not operational) and flight back from HeHo. The 10days were absolutely amazing. We stopped at many little places along our travels off the tourist track. The tours were informative and interesting and he didn't spare the effort to make it as fascinating and interesting as possible. It was like travelling with a friend, not a tour guide. Jack's passion for his country is contagious. Highly recommended.

We did again a tour of 16 days in Myanmar with this tour company and, as always, it was perfectly organized, it was Top!. Bo Bo was our tour guide but also he arranged a lot of photosessions during the trip. He made wonderful compositions and helped all members if they needed help for the right camera settings in order to take the perfect pictures. Transport, hotels, food was very good. I can't think on anything that could be better. Thanks to Bo Bo and this team for this wonderful trip. If you want an amazing photo tour I highly can recommend this travel agent.

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.

Bago (also known as Pegu) used to be the former capital of southern Myanmar and within a short drive out of Yangon; it is hard to understand that this current town has been left untouched on the tourism path. Its abundance of religious sites and the remains of its former palace make Bago an appealing and simple day trip from the former capital. The great density of Buddha’s and treasure-filled temples or the ideal first stop when you leave the city behind when searching for centuries-old monuments that have been carefully restored to their former glory.
