Remote Burma (Myanmar): Journey into the hills
Premier
Overview
Short Description
Subject to a long period of isolation, Myanmar has remained relatively untouched by the outside world. Consequently, its temple-strewn landscapes and royal palaces survive refreshingly unspoiled. As the country has opened up, our specialists have explored Myanmar’s well-known cities and its little visited villages and countryside. Taking this first-hand knowledge, we can create a tailor-made Myanmar holiday, shaped around your preferences.

A huge thank you to the team at Audley!
A huge thank you to the team at Audley!
First class travel company
The Japan and Covid-19 challenge!
Unfortunately, it fell though due to Covid-19 which in itself created considerable financial problems for both Audley and ourselves. Eventually we agreed a repayment schedule spread over 12 months with various options. Have to report that Audley honoured the agreement to the day.
I would have no doubt about trusting and using them in the future.
Audley have been exceptional
The help guidance and reassurance has been toning less the first class.
I would recommend Audley without hesitation.
Top quality service
Three of the best
Though more expensive than some other tour operators they punch well above the competition and we would strongly recommend this company for that extra special holiday.
