Mr. Bo Thin of Myanmar Upper Land Tours was extremely accommodating in arranging for our party of 3 to have the full experience of their 10 hour Ava, Sagaing, Amarapura and Mingun tour over a period of 2 days, scheduled around our flights to and from Mandalay, including an airport pickup! We were able to experience the ancient cities and spectacular sites at our own pace with knowledgeable and informative guides and an excellent driver. Excellent tour. This is not to be missed! Among the extra touches, our guides took many memorable photos of us and helped us with the various dialects/languages in the temple markets we wished to visit.

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.

Balloons Over Bagan was the highlight of our trip to Myanmar. We had never been in a hot air balloon given the price. It is one of those things you must do while in Bagan. The pilot was from Europe and has flown all over the world. He was professional and rotated the balloon slowly through the flight so everyone got a view. The flight was extremely smooth and was almost like you where watching a movie screen below you.  Our basket consisted of four compartments each with four people. It was slightly crowded and not practical to changes places in your compartment during flight. Our balloon was largely filled by a photography tour group. Baggage on the flight was limited to a small bag, in which I carried a camera and a couple camera lenses. I checked the bag size a day ahead of time with their office in town and it was at the size limit. Given the limited space in the basket it was difficult to change lens and it would not be practical to change lens more than a couple times during the flight. Next time, I would book the premium experience, which has two people in each compartment and only costs $100 more. Four people in each compartment slightly limited the enjoyment and how many pictures you could take. Overall, I would recommend Balloons Over Bagan even given the price of the balloon ride.

After the long time no travelling because of the pandemic, I was here for the second time ❤️ It still choose this tour cause the last time I was so impressed by everything. Vietnam’s nature is always amazed me, that’s why I choose VN to be my second home. I love spending time on the sampan boat visting Market’s Area, so crowded. The CuChi tunnel visit was interesting. The tour guide told us a lot about the history and the underground people here. Moveover, there is no word can describe how delicious Vietnamese food is... the food was made by local people so it different from other place but just so wonderful. I really highly recommend this trip to everyone! I even want to come back the third time ????

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.
