We have been using Cuckoo Travel now for nearly 3 years to organise our holidays in Asia ( Myanmar,Borneo,Thailand to name a few. ) I have found them ( especially April) to be very knowledgeable and professional. Although they are a little more expensive ,the service is very good and we hope to use them again to plan another holiday soon.
