Travel Review: Luxury Tour of Myanmar & Laos, Bagan, Inle Lake, Elephant Camp, Paper-Making Class, Cooking Courses

This travel agency was a wonderful organization with which to work. From beginning to end, they were there to help and guide. Initially, we did not have detailed thoughts about all that we wanted to see in Laos and Myanmar. They came up with several options and helped to put the final plans together based exactly on what we wanted. We only arranged the international flights. They arranged all internal flights, hotels and guides/drivers. When we needed visas, they did the work to get them for us. The payment plan was comfortable and we received updates and reminders from them throughout the year of planning. They were always accessible and friendly when we had questions. They responded to our likes and dislikes when arranging hotels and all were excellent. 

 If we had any concerns at all it was with individual guides under the Myanmar tour company. All guides were outstanding except ours in Bagan, who had a very difficult time showing some flexibility with the stated itinerary, who took us to some sketchy places and who showed little knowledge beyond stories related to Buddha. I think this company has done their homework and chosen good local companies and I do not fault them for one poor guide. The responsibility falls to the local company in choosing their guides.
