We plan our own itineraries, travel alone and avoid organised tour groups. However when we decided to visit Myanmar we had very little time to make our own arrangements and contacted E Travel instead with our requirements. We couldn't have been more impressed with the company's services, which included making the necessary hotel and domestic airline reservations, and providing us with impressively knowledgeable English-speaking guides. Our three-week trip to Myanmar would not have been nearly as satisfying and informative without agent's assistance.read less

From the moment Spring picked us up at the airport we knew we were in good hands. Everything was perfectly planned and went very smoothly. We never would have been able to see everything that we saw in 8 days if we were on our own.Spring really got to know what we liked and customized our activities for us. Spring taught us so much about the history and culture of Myanmar. All of the flights went smoothly. The lodging was good and the food was excellent.read less

A few months in advance, we made our wishes, requirements and a possible route known to E-Travel Myanmar. Our contact person was Hannah. Service by this young lady with a capital "S". Thinking along in the preliminary phase, making additions, identifying bottlenecks and proposing alternatives to ultimately arrive at a reasonably detailed and optimal travel plan for us. Perfect!! During the trip everything went smoothly and as agreed. Taxis, boats, guides, tickets, e-scooters, excursions, etc., etc., all arranged to perfection. In the entire range of activities during these 4 weeks, there were only 2 (almost negligible) misunderstandings that were quickly resolved with a phone call. Even a spontaneously canceled domestic flight was taken into account by Hannah, which caused us minimal inconvenience. Of course we had some skepticism in advance, but thanks to the agent Services we were able to travel through Myanmar for 4 weeks in an optimal, carefree and relaxed way.read less

All transfers, including 3 internal flights, hotels and guides were included. We went on an overnight trek to Inle lake and had an overnight village stay.Travelling around Inle lake and learning a bit about the lake culture was a highlight as was the amazing resort we stayed at on the lake (Aureum resort)Ebikes in Bagan was so much fun as well.We were in a home stay in a remote village and got a phone call from Mr. Kyaw to make sure we were comfortable. The trip was so reasonable I don’t think we could have gotten better prices on our own.If you’re going to Myanmar consider using E-Travel!The best we have ever had and we do travel a fair bit.read less
