Uniquely cut off for decades
Uniquely cut off from the rest of the world for decades, Myanmar is a country rich with Buddhist spiritual beliefs and warm, friendly people. Abundant in natural resources, Myanmar boasts an inspiring variety of landscapes. From the 4,000 stupas across the plains of Bagan, to the Golden Rock balanced on the edge of a chasm and pristine beaches, Myanmar is a truly remarkable destination.

Yampu designed the perfect tour and was there making the arrangements when I wanted to extend mid-trip. Actually booked a second tour while still in the middle of my first. Such personal service is rare these days.

"Yampu tours did an excellent job putting together our tour. Specifically, Karolina, our Yampu rep, excelled at getting to know us; our likes/dislikes, interests, etc., and constructed a tour that met all of our needs. The sites were amazing, guides were professional and knowledgeable, divers were safe and courteous and everything went off without a hitch. Further, any changes that were needed or questions we had were dealt with in an expedited manner. Listening and communicating with the customer are huge parts of most jobs, but specifically, tourism and Karolina is great at both. We intend to use Yampu again in the future, and specifically, recommend Karolina for your travel needs."

"All in all, this was a great trip. I am reminded of something I read in a travel book some years ago which said Here's what I love about travel; strangers get a chance to amaze you. In Myanmar, I found myself constantly amazed. I would love to go back and pick up the areas of the country that I missed on this trip and spend more time in the sites that I found to be particularly interesting and which required more time than I had on this trip to do them justice. I think things will begin to change rapidly in Myanmar now that liberalization has begun. I appreciate all the work Yampu staff put into developing this custom itinerary for me, and I wish all of you great success in building your business in Myanmar."
