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.

In December I have been traveling with the help of Omicron through Myanmar, I want to thank Miss Su Su, for her good care: • The organization/planning of the trip was perfect, all planes were arranged, all hotels were arranged, every time when I had to leave, I was brought to the right counter at the airport, and every time I arrived the next driver and/or the guide were waiting for me. • All hotels were very clean and had nice breakfasts. The hotel employees were all very friendly and helpful • The local guides were all very knowledgeable on the tour they did with me (of course they lived there ☺) • I have seen the most beautiful nature in Kanpetlet to Mindat, From Kalaw to Inle Lake and in Keng Tung , near the Chinese border and the Thai border. It is something we do not have in the Netherlands. • I have seen so many different tribes it dazzles me, they all seem to be happy with their lives. Where I can see they have not much in richness but are happier than I am with my live. • I have eaten so many different things, and I liked it all (except for the sour soup) • The people in Myanmar are all very friendly and always prepared to help. So, overall my trip was the best trip ever. I have enjoyed it totally and all memories have been captured in my mind, besides of that I have taken 1400 photo’s so I will never forget.

Moe Moe from Real Treasure Travels & Tours was recommended to me by a friend who highly recommended her services. Moe Moe took great care in planning our itinerary and took into consideration the needs and interests of our travel party. Throughout the whole planning process, Moe Moe was very prompt in her communication and we were able to finalise the itinerary details very quickly. In this trip, we went to Mandalay, Bagan and Inle Lake and engaged Real Treasure Travels & Tours for Bagan and Inle Lake. We did not required a guide in Mandalay as we had a friend to bring us around. From Mandalay, we took a domestic flight to Bagan and started our tour with Moe Moe's team. Even though our tour only started in Bagan, She was very thoughtful and communicated to us the important things to note when leaving Mandalay, e.g. how early to leave our hotel in Mandalay so as to reach the airport by a certain timing. This was certainly helpful as we are not familiar with the road conditions and the travel time required. Thanks to her, we managed to catch our flight at a very comfortable pace! Moe Moe arranged one local guide in Bagan and one local guide in Inle Lake to bring us around Bagan and Inle Lake respectively. Both spoke good english and are extremely knowledgeable about the area and places of interest. We are very interested to know more about the daily lives of the locals and Moe Moe has very cleverly incorporated many workshops into our itinerary so that we can see and experience how their local products/ snacks are made. It was a very eye opening experience! We enjoyed those workshops, especially the cooking class at Inle Lake! Overall, we had a very comfortable and enjoyable trip in Myanmar. I would definitely recommend all to consider Real Treasure Travel & Tours as your travel agent when travelling in Myanmar. Moe Moe and her team are very nice and considerate people and has your best interests at heart when planning your itinerary. Her guides are extremely knowledgeable and friendly and it was a joy to meet them! Thank you Moe Moe, will contact you again if I have the opportunity to visit Myanmar again!

In January 2020, I traveled 16 days in Myanmar with a group of friends ( aged 60 + ). The trip was organized with the help of Ms. Soe Moe Khaing from Crystal Zone Travels & Tours. I have a lot of experience organizing trips for the group of friends but I rarely get such great service as we got from Soe Moe. She was in contact with us throughout the trip. Everything booked through it (guides, bus, hotels, flights) was top notch. I wish to receive tourism services at such a level on future trips. I wholeheartedly recommend it.
