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.

Great tour, great guide! We learned so much in the morning tour and it was perfect for our trip. There were a lot of nice touches that i feel were unique to this tour. The breakfast - awesome! We never could have found that ourselves. There were also fun extra parts such as buying fruit for the monks and giving it to them, getting fish food to feed the fish for good luck, etc. The best part was if we were curious about something (ie: the food markets) our guide took us there on our walk no problem! Totally off the "script" but an awesome addition and very kind that they altered it to our interests. Learned a ton and beautiful tour!

We booked directly on the Oasis Cruise website where we were prompted to pick a date and put down a $90 deposit for a 2D1N party cruise. 3 days later we received a notification that there were no cruises on the chosen date despite their site allowing us to select and pay deposit. We were offered a day cruise as an alternative and the customer service team was very proactive in contacting us and trying to get us to book a different date although none of the replacements fit our plans. We then asked for a refund and suddenly, the previously very attentive customer service team stopped answering our emails. We have sent 2 follow up emails regarding this payment we made in JUNE and we still haven't heard anything back. We are very disappointed in the service and support from this company and could see no reason to ever book with them direct, if at all.
