Destination Management

Think carefully before booking. I was shocked at how culturally insensitive, rude and generally inhospitable the manager of this tour and company was. Some of us were called " problems" in regards to dietary issues and yet he makes sure he sorts out his own dietary needs/quirks first. In a few photo opportunities , he put himself in front of the lens and attraction first and the rest of us had to wait - very odd behaviour for a "host." Luckily his poor attitude towards his paying guests was not copied by his wonderful assistant Mayumi. She is very caring and hospitable and sensitive in regards to the needs of the clientele . It's very telling when it is difficult to find any reviews on the net - be it positive or negative. Most of our group was shocked at his poor behaviour and the majority of us were 'victims' of his arrogant belligerent attitude more than once.

Having just come back from a tour of Burma with this firm, I would advise anyone thinking of joining a tour in the near future not to. It was over priced and badly managed. What one needs to consider, this is a one man operation, privately operated, owned and managed, there is no evaluation system in place. Therefore no recourse. Potential tourists from overseas need to be particularly vigil, after all when you get home who will address any issues you may have? Remember photos can be very alluring, but not represent the total picture!
