Tours

I forgot to ask in my last question: when we travelled through Vietnam we found it easy to find tours going to wherever we wanted to go, and they were much cheaper than if we had booked from home (Australia). Is this the same for Myanmar? Are we better off to arrive in yangon and find a tour or book something from home?

Hi again,

Yes, it is cheaper to book tours there (You need your US dollar notes, though). I book/arrange mine through Indochina Services (my earlier reply). I normally contact them well in advance from UK

It is also easy to arrange for (or have a friendly hotel person help you) a guide at the few places (like Bagan and the ancient cities outside Mandalay).. At places like Inle Lake the friendly boatmen will act as guide... In Yangon a city tour including the ShweDagon pagoda) can be arranged if you feel you need it... Just about anything else.. a guidebook will be better than a tourguide...

thankyou very much for your advice. it%26#39;s helped us make the decision to just book our flights and take care of trips etc over there. Can%26#39;t wait!

guide book will help you but some time they can not update and places and all of info also wrong,but you have to hold it,guide ,that is his job but depend on what he mension or not.so I can tell you that you use the agency,that you can get reliable and do not worry for what you want but expensive,if you use the guide who is really honest,he will help you more then agency,

Noneed to book from home cause Burma you can arrange in here.flight ,hotel,guide and all of tourism.

welcome to Burma
