Beyond my dreams · Myanmar - Jan 8 - Jan 30, 2020
Our trip to Myanmar was our second month-long trip arranged through kimkim and once we are able to travel again, we will be booking a third!
All of our guides provided us with more information than expected and there were new discoveries every day.
Our countryside biking and nunnery lunch in Mandalay was very peaceful, but the bikes provided were far from comfortable for us. We loved the experience, but suffered later.
Bagan was breathtaking and the hotel was very special. I didn't feel... read more

Our guide in Yangon, Linn Linn and our bike guide Nay (apologies for spelling) were both excellent, well informed, helpful and pleasant to be with. The transfers, accommodation, food and cycling were great. The amazing temples in Bagan and the view from Popa Mountain were beautiful as were the sunsets and the river cruise.

Thank you Amanda for this excellent trip review. I will share your good feedback to our team and especially to our guides guides as well.
Looking forward to seeing you again in Myanmar.

Local Green Season travel lead by Jack came up with a suggestion to an itinerary for a private 1 person 7 days tour visiting Mandalay, Bagan, Kalaw and Inle Lake. I had a few tweaks and wishes he accommodated. I booked and he set the whole thing in motion. There were no glitches and everything went as I hoped for. Without fail I was collected , driven around and had the most wonderful expert guides where I arrived. I saw a lot and learned a lot about amazing Myanmar. I private tour expertly... read more

I couldn't have asked for a better first trip to Myanmar. I can't wait to go back with KimKim! · Myanmar - Feb 6 - Feb 13, 2020
Everything was perfect, from itinerary creation, to booking, to the actual visit!
Anne is a great communicator - she listened to everything I wanted and gave me just that. She was always reachable and very helpful with everything I needed (even random stuff like printing needs).
I also loved all of my tour guides. Each one was different with their own personalities, background, experiences, etc. and it was great to get to hear so many different perspectives.
The accommodations and... read more

Thanks so much for your review! It's wonderful to read such positive feedback about your travel experiences in Myanmar. There is so much to see here and your first trip just scratched the surface so we would love to welcome you back for another visit. Fingers crossed this COVID-19 scare passes soon and we can all get back out on the road traveling again!
Looking forward to helping you plan your next Myanmar holiday,
Anne & the Myanmar Pure team

My husband and I are avid travelers and we tend to do all the booking, organizing and trip planning on our own, however I had recently come across Kimkim's website so we decided to give them a shot.
From the start the KimKim website was user friendly and the staff were kind, informative and attentive to our needs, and trust me I am a VERY detail oriented person. We were paired with our amazing coordinator, Hsu Hlaing, who was patient with me and answered every single question I rose, which... read more

Hi Haneen,
Thank you very much for your review. I am delighted to hear that you were happy with our services and arrangements.
It was a pleasure for me to be a part of this memory and I will share your lovely feedback with our team, guides, and drivers as well.
We would also love to welcome you back again to explore other destinations of Myanmar in the future!
Kind regards,
Hsu Hlaing

Myanmar 2020 · Myanmar - Jan 26 - Feb 9, 2020
We were extremely pleased with the guides and drivers on our Myanmar trip. Guides were knowledgeable and eager to share information. They were reliable regarding pick up times and helpful in making our trip extremely positive.
I will recommend using kimkim to our friends

Hi Barry,
Thank you for sharing your wonderful feedback! I am delighted to hear that you were happy with our services and arrangements. We always do take pride in providing our travelers' needs the best way we can, and always looking for ways to improve.
Thank you again for the recommendation to use Kim Kim and I will also pass your kind feedback to my team, guides and drivers.

Hsu was very responsive and offered several itineraries as I explored possibilities. Once I settled on one she failed in details of activities, lodging, and travel very well! Our guide in Bagan was outstanding. Her knowledge of the area was superb and she filled our days til sunset making sure we were happy with activities. Our guide in Chin State was also good but we finished by 3:00 one day and while friendly and informative he was a bit quiet.

Hi Ed,
Thank you for taking the time out for sharing your experience with us. I really appreciate your kind review and am glad to hear that everything went well. I sincerely hope you will come back again and explore more of Myanmar with us!
Kind regards,
Hsu Hlaing

Ten Days Solo in Myanmar 2019 · Myanmar - Dec 12 - Dec 20, 2019
I had an excellent experience in planning my trip to Myanmar with Anne and with everything that she arranged for me while I was there.
Anne was extremely responsive as soon as I was put in touch with her, and she was very patient while I went back and forth on what I wanted to do on short notice. Once I decided to pull the trigger, she gave me great options tailored to the way that I like to travel and was very quick with suggestions and changes. She was amazing with everything within... read more

Hi Caitlin,
Thanks for sharing this beautiful feedback from your travels in Myanmar! I'm glad that Myanmar exceeded your expectations, even in such a short trip, and that you felt safe and comfortable throughout the trip... hope you will have the chance to visit again and explore other corners of the country!
All the best,
Anne & the Myanmar Pure team

Jack was exceptional! · Myanmar - Jan 3 - Jan 14, 2020
Jack was exceptional. From the planning stages to the end of the trip, Jack was always willing to accommodate my numerous requests to customise the trip.
In addition to the standard plans, Jack helped me to plan the whole trip to meet my specific requirements. Even when some of the guides were not up to the expectations, Jack was quick to get involved and sort things out for me.
I would definitely recommend Jack for anyone visiting Myanmar!

Thank you Aseeb for this excellent feedback. Always happy to do a great job and this feedback is truly encouraging for us to serve our customers better.
Hoping to see you again in Myanmar.
All the best,
Jack
Wonderful Myanmar · Myanmar - Jan 3 - Jan 12, 2020
Anne was outstanding from initial contact, providing excellent advice during the planning phase and at every point during the trip. Nothing seemed too much trouble and she certainly goes the extra mile. The trip was wonderful and full of surprises. The daily itineraries were well balanced but it felt like every day had an unexpected bonus whether it was e-bikes in Bagan or the Irrawaddy cruise boat in Mandalay. We also loved meeting Anne in Mandalay. This was easily the best organised... read more

Mingalarbar Ian,
Thank you for sharing your feedback and delighted that your Myanmar holiday exceeded your expectations! We do put a lot of effort in to ensure the trip is well organized and hassle-free, so I'm glad you were able to just relax and enjoy each experience along the way. I'll be sure to share your kind review with our guides, your balloon pilot in Inle and with the team at Sanctum Inle!
Best regards,
Anne

"this is the best trip ever, mommy" · Myanmar - Dec 25 - Jan 4, 2020
My 23-year-old daughter and I chose to visit Myanmar to learn more about the fascinating culture, history, political transitions, and people there. Anne planned an 11-day adventure for us which far exceeded any expectations. We had an amazing time!
First, I will say that I barely needed to communicate with Anne. She “got” how I travel almost immediately and my trust in her decisions was gave me no worry. I could focus on the rest of my travels and the rest of my life. We spent the first two... read more

Dear Liz,
Wow, thank you for sharing this beautiful summary of your Myanmar journey- it makes me smile reading it and knowing you enjoyed the different experiences and interactions along the way! I will share this with Nay, Thin Zar, Naing and Sandi, as well as May and the crew from the Strand - they will all be thrilled to know you had such a memorable mother-daughter holiday!
We would love to welcome you back again to explore some of the more off-the-beaten track destinations (or to plan your retirement at Green Hill Valley!)
Many thanks,
Anne & The Myanmar Pure team
Magical 2 weeks of honeymoon in Myanmar · Myanmar - Dec 22 - Jan 2, 2020
Our 2 weeks of honeymoon in Myanmar was magical. Anne was very helpful and she did her best to accommodate our needs. All local guides who accompanied us during our journey were not only knowledgable but also they told us their experience growing up as novice monks, how Myanmar has changed these past few years, development in the country they have seen so far, etc. And that was a great learning experience for us. Also, visiting villages and having lunch in a local house was a delight! We saw... read more

Thanks, Ayu, for sharing your feedback! It was fun helping design your honeymoon in Myanmar and I'm thrilled that you and your husband had so many unforgettable experiences along the way. I really appreciate your kind words about our guides, as well- they truly turn a good trip into a great trip!
From the whole team here at Myanmar Pure, a genuine 'thank you' for coming to Myanmar for your honeymoon and we wish you many more wonderful journeys in your married life!

Eight amazing days in Myanmar · Myanmar - Dec 25 - Jan 1, 2020
My family enjoyed our 8 day trip to Myanmar so much! We have been to over 80 countries and taken many tours, and this particular tour was one of the best. Every guide was there to meet us at the airport right when we exited the baggage area and were so helpful with the four internal flights. All internal flights were safe and nice--with meals even served on two of them. The drivers always had water and wet wipes available and all vehicles were all clean and comfortable. All... read more

Mingalarbar Kristi,
Thank so much for your very nice feed back and sharing your great memories during your trip in Myanmar!

A magical experience · Myanmar - Dec 21 - Dec 29, 2019
I have great pleasure in giving this 5 star review to Jack and his team that were introduced to us through Kimkim. My wife, our daughter and I just completed a 9 day journey through Mynamar that was organized by Jack and his colleagues. First, I appreciated the close attention he paid to make sure that all our suggestions were meticulously follow up at the planning stage. Typically every suggestion I sent him at the end of the day was acted upon and I would have a confirmation and reply... read more

Dear Balagopal,
It's such an amazing feedback for me and my deepest thanks from the bottom of my heart. Very pleased to hear from you such a marvelous feedback and this truly encouraging to me to do more and more good jobs for our guests. This is the great success for everyone in my team and to my mother country, Myanmar.
We hope to see you again in Myanmar.

We had a brilliant time in Myanmar and found the experience to be more enjoyable after researching the trip and speaking to Hsu Hlaing in the weeks and months leading up to the trip. She would respond promptly and her knowledge was everything that we needed.
The guides that were selected were mostly perfect with particular praise to our guides in Yangon and Madalay - although the area of Bagan was the highlight of our holiday. Through Hsu, we found a beautiful beach in Ngapali and had a... read more

Hi Mark,
Thank you very much for sharing your kind feedback and I'm glad to hear that you had a great time in Myanmar. Our guides are proud to have shared their hometowns with you and I will pass your great words to my team, guides and drivers. We would love to welcome you back again!

12 Days in Myanmar · Myanmar - Nov 28 - Dec 9, 2019
Just returned from a 12 day trip to Myanmar. Our host/guide(s) Jack et al were great. We were met at all of our destinations by a guide and driver. Accommodation was very comfortable, several with lots of character/history. Highlights were:
1) Boat Trip from Mandalay to Bagan on a small river boat that had 7 cabins. We really enjoyed ourselves. It was very relaxing and we got to see lots of activity along the river with a few stops for land tours here and there.
2) Bagan. We spent two... read more

Thank you very much Bruce for visiting our beautiful Myanmar and we're very glad to hear you had a great stay in Myanmar during your visit.
We're always happy to do a great job for every visitor who choose Myanmar as holidays destination.
We hope to see you again in the future in Myanmar.

Our experience with Kimkim was exceptional. · Myanmar - Nov 14 - Nov 20, 2019
Our experience with Kimkim was exceptional. To start with Anne was one of the best communicators I have worked with. She was professional, helpful and knowledgeable. Our guides were also wonderful and understood what we were looking for in experiences. In Yangon we learnt so much from our guide. Inle Lake was the highlight of our trip. We loved the 2 days and wished we had more time. This was enhanced by our wonderful guide, Wei. He was delightful. In Bagan we were once again thrilled with... read more

Thanks so much for your review! It was fun planning this mother-daughter trip and our guides had a blast sharing their hometowns with you. We'd love to welcome you back to Myanmar again or another kimkim destination soon!

Rich, rewarding trip · Myanmar - Oct 17 - Nov 11, 2019
From start to finish, in country operator Myanmar Pure made our 26-day trip to Myanmar a seamless, rewarding experience. Passing off logistical arrangements allowed us to focus on all this geographically and ethnically diverse country has to offer. Our requested itinerary included the well known "don't miss" sites and a peek into the often unseen "real" life of Myanmar people. Myanmar Pure delivered. Owner Anne's relationship with her local guides brought us into homes for meals, tea, and... read more

Dear Becky & Rich,
Thanks for sharing your feedback of your recent Myanmar journey - I'm glad we were able to design a rewarding, smooth trip for you! The unexpected experiences (like weddings!) and interactions are magical and delighted that our guides were able to bring you a bit closer to their local culture through these events.
All the best to you and we hope 2020 brings many more rich travel experiences,

An excellent time in Myanmar! · Myanmar - Sep 29 - Oct 11, 2019
Our family of five (with three kids aged 9-14) travelled to Myanmar in October 2019 having a wonderful experience. We had made some initial arrangements and bookings by ourselves as we were including a visit to our friends who were volunteering in Bagan. Because our trip was quite short in duration and we were unfamiliar with the country (and our kids haven't travelled much), I researched a lot on line about places to visit and people's blogs. I came across KimKim. We had an excellent... read more

Hi Margot,
Thank you very much for taking the time to write a review for us. I am really happy that everything went great and your family had a great time in Myanmar. It was a pleasure for me to be a part of this memory! I hope that you decide to come another time and we look forward to welcoming you again to our beautiful country.

Honeymoon in Myanmar · Myanmar - Sep 24 - Oct 4, 2019
My husband and I went on a 10 day tour of Myanmar for our honeymoon, and it was the best decision we could have made. What a beautiful country with amazing people! The whole Pure Myanmar team took extra care of us from our first contact until the end, treating us like friends.
We loved every part of the trip and were sometimes moved to tears of happiness -- some highlights being the circular train in Yangon and Shwedagon Pagoda, the elephant preservation in Kalaw, watching the sunset on U... read more

Mingalarbar Zara & Ian- we were delighted to welcome you to Myanmar and create such memorable moments for your honeymoon! Thanks for taking the time to share your kind words about Myanmar and our team. From all of us here at Pure, we wish you a marriage filled with happiness, love and many more travel adventures!
Best Time of Year To Visit Myanmar - Madeleine W · Myanmar - Sep 6 - Sep 13, 2019
This trip was nothing short of spectacular. Most memorable I found the pagodas in Bagan, and driving around exploring them on e-bikes. Also, the boat trip on Inle Lake was very nice. Our guides were knowledgeable and sociable. The people in Myanmar are very friendly, the food is great and reasonably priced.
The one thing I didn't like was riding on a horse-drawn cart in Inwa. The horses did not appear well-kept, and to watch one horse pull a cart with four adults was just painful.

Hi Madeleine,
Thank you for taking the time out for sharing your experience with us. It was my pleasure to organize your trip and I am delighted that you had a great time in Myanmar.
I am sorry you had that issue with the horse-cart in Inwa. It is not our preferred way at all, but this is the only way to visit Ava (even if it is not 100%), unfortunately, unless we do by walking or biking which wouldn't be appropriate for most of the travelers (too hot). We prevent carefully into the... read more

Laid back, cultural trip · Myanmar - Aug 8 - Aug 14, 2019
Great trip throughout. Our guides Aye, Nay and Thin was absolutely fantastic, and we had a lots of fun visiting the beautiful Myanmar. The guides gave us tips to the best vantage points to take our photos.

Thanks, Terrence, for your kind review of our team and your experience. The photos are simply stunning and capture the beauty of Myanmar so well- thanks for sharing them! I know your travel wish list is extensive but hope you can squeeze in another visit to Myanmar soon so that we can show you other parts of the country!

Anne & the Myanmar Pure team
Local Highlights of Yangon, Bagan and Inle Lake - 8 Days · Myanmar - Aug 8 - Aug 13, 2019
Ms Hsu Hlaing was very closely in touch with us from the get-go. From the planning stage till the end of trip she kept in touch with us and our tour guides as our visit to Myanmar spanned across 3 states.
She also customised the trip to our preferences. Eg, we skipped Mount Popa and on hindsight it was a good decision as it was monsoon season and the day slated for it became an e-bike free and easy around Bagan and we were drenched before evening due to heavy rains. She also booked us lovely... read more

Hi Su & Jess,

Myanmar · Myanmar - Jul 22 - Aug 2, 2019
We had a really wonderful time in Myanmar, the country and people are beautiful and the food was simply delicious. Like others we were used to travelling independently and haven't used an agent before but our experience with Anne and everyone at Myanmar Pure couldn't be faulted. We were able to see/do so much more based on their advice visiting Yangon, Mandalay, Bagan, Kalaw and Inle and places in between. We travelled with our 2 year old and everyone went the extra mile to accommodate his... read more

Thanks for your kind words about your family holiday in Myanmar! I'm delighted that we were able to show you so many diverse aspects of the country and take care of your little one along the way. We were on a team retreat when I received this so it was special to be able to share this feedback with everyone while we were gathered. Hope to see you here for another visit again soon!
Myanmar Adventure Tour - 15 Days · Myanmar - Jul 5 - Jul 19, 2019
Overall the trip was great. Anne put together a great agenda and her team of guides and drivers delivered, giving my son and I a very memorable experience. The one down event was a ATM owned by KBZ. Bank it took money from my bank account but did not dispense cash to me. I opened an investigation that day but The money has still not been returned. I advise against using KBZ ATM,s.

Thanks, Ray, for your feedback- we are glad that you and Cole had a memorable time in Myanmar! Hope the rest of your travels in South East Asia were also enjoyable!
Thank you, as well, for sharing with future travelers your experience at KBZ. We will continue to follow up on your case and hope they will get this all sorted soon!
Wishing you many other memorable father-son adventures in the years to come!

Boating in Myanmar · Myanmar - Jul 5 - Jul 22, 2019
Anne was incredible from the first contact. She was flexible and seemed to understand the type of holiday we wanted and planned it fitting in everything we wanted to see and do.
All our guides were great and it was fabulous that they were all different.
Cherry was so bubbly and her knowledge of Yangon and enthusiasm to show us its highlights from the pagoda to trying the food was infectious. We laughed so much and felt really welcome.
Ney was more reserved but so accommodating and happy for... read more

Mingalarbar Pip, Tony and Anna! Thanks for this amazing review and photos- they really paint a beautiful picture of your trip here for future visitors.

Highlights of Mandalay and Bagan - 5 Days · Myanmar - Jun 27 - Jul 1, 2019
Amazing trip to Myanmar with Kimkim, Hsu Hlaing and our guides Tonn Tonn (Mandalay) and Min (Bagan). Itinerary was truly flexible and well planned - we managed to see so much! We felt this was also a really good value trip - all expecteds were included, hotels were really nice, tour was truly private and the price was very reasonable.
We felt our local specialist supported us well and was available for queries or for itinerary changes.

Hi Nick,
It was a great pleasure to plan the journey together with you all and I'm very happy to hear that you had an amazing time. Our guides are proud to have shared their hometowns with you and I will pass your great words to my team, guides and drivers.
We would love to welcome you and your friends back again!

Highlights of Mandalay and Bagan - 5 Days · Myanmar - Jun 27 - Jul 1, 2019
Planning process with Hsu Hlaing was very smooth and she obviously had a lot of experience. She was very responsive, communicative and proactive and made the whole experience getting our ideal itinerary so easy as a local expert.
Both our guides, Tunn tunn in Mandalay and Min in Bagan were excellent - friendly and professional and had so much to share with us about the history, people and culture of Myanmar.
Overall a great experience and would highly recommend for planning your dream trip with minimum fuss!

Hi Deborah,
Thank you for taking the time to write this lovely review. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed your times with our guides and will share your feedback with Tun Tun and Min. I hope we have the chance to welcome you and your friends back again!

Myanmar Trip · Myanmar - Jun 24 - Jun 30, 2019
Hi there,
I was skeptical of using an impersonal travel service like this, but it worked out fantastic and I guess this is the way of the future. I am a single female traveler and usually go alone. Myanmar was intimidating to me so I hired KimKim to help me out. I will definitely use them again. Everything was set up exactly as they stated. The price was reasonable. They were with me every step of the way. They tailored my six day trip to Myanmar perfectly. The guides on the ground... read more

Dear Megan,

There are still a lot of places you could enjoy in Myanmar. :)

Spent an amazing and memorable 10 days in Myanmar thanks to Kim Kim and Pergus Tours. The Kim Kim app Is easy to use and eases communication between you and the tour operator they put you in touch with. Hsu Hlaing made me feel that her main concern was for my trip to meet expectations in every aspect. A free call at the planning stage with an international consultant helped set expectations, flexibility on the itinerary was offered along the way, the guides were informative and hotels well... read more

Kind regards,

Over all we had a great time. It started out bad. We were NEVER told we needed visas before we landed which is what is done in most countries. In fact 2 weeks before we were asked for a copy of our passports which would have been a good time to say by the way make sure you have your visas. It cost me a little over $700 and a lot of aggravation but we made it through. I had to get a hotel room in Singapore airport for another night and a new flight to Myanmar. The places were great and... read more

Dear Bruce, thank you for your detailed feedback. Please take my sincere apology for failing to write to you about the visa even though I mentioned in the price excluded part in the proposal. I already passed your feedback to the team and the guides as well. Your feedback really helps us to improve the quality of our service. I'm happy to hear that you had a great trip overall.
8 Days Myanmar Highlights · Myanmar - Apr 30 - May 9, 2019
Anne is an exceptionally good tour organiser and we are so very happy to have chosen her (via KimKim) for our 10-day Myanmar tour. Anne was away in Turkey when we were in Myanmar but she kept monitoring our tour progress (through the guides), stayed in touch with us and NEVER took more than a few minutes to respond to our needs whenever we raised any issues. The tour itinerary she put together for us was also great and it covered everything we wanted to see and more.
Of course no trip... read more

Dear Madhu,
Thanks for your kind feedback! Glad the trip itinerary fit your personal travel style and that you enjoyed the company of Maung Maung, Nay, Thinzar and Naing- it makes me smile to know you appreciated their passion and knowledge! Sorry we didn't get a chance to meet while you were in Myanmar but hopefully our paths will cross when I visit Australia in the near future.

WE had a fantastic experience using Kimkim again this trip. We were linked with Anne and here tour guides really did their best to make our trip perfect. We really did not need to worry about anything and every day we had something interesting to do. The selection of accommodation was really comfortable even in the remote town's and we really felt like we were having thw 'boutique' and personalised trip we wanted. I am really happy we did it this way and let Anne organise everything because... read more

Hi Dane,
Delighted we made your second experience with KimKim a memorable one! We always try to take the hassle out of the holiday - so I'm glad you felt you didn't have to worry and could enjoy the different experiences along the way, despite the soaring temperatures!
We'll look forward to helping you plan your next kimkim journey soon!

Magnificent Myanmar - 8 Days · Myanmar - Apr 20 - Apr 29, 2019
Our trip to Myanmar has been just excellent. From the start until the end the communication with Anne was great, as she organised in a very short time a trip which allowed us to see as much as possible of Myanmar in the limited amount of time that we had. Our guides were all knowledgeable and we felt always safe with our drivers, and we were able to experience local highlights which allowed us to get to know Myanmar and the people of Myanmar better (cooking class, eating lunch in the homes of local families ). All in all we were very happy with our trip and would definitely recommend Anne!

Thanks Rebecca! It was a pleasure to plan this trip- and especially fun as you two were up for anything! I'm glad you felt safe with our drivers and enjoyed all of the local experiences with our guides. Hope you can come back for a longer visit in the near future!

Exploring Myanmar in 12 days! · Myanmar - Feb 21 - Mar 5, 2019
Everything about our trip to Myanmar was fantastic! The guides were personable and knowledgable. We asked TONS of questions and they always had the answer! Ann was amazing. She quickly made our last minute changes when we added another person to our hotel and a tour. We are so pleased with the whole process, flights, drivers, guides, hotels and tours, that we are already planning our next trip!

Hi Terri, thanks for taking the time to write this lovely review and share your feedback. I'm delighted to hear you enjoyed exploring Myanmar with our guides- its a special country and they loved sharing their hometowns with you and your family. Looking forward to helping you with your future SE Asia travels! All the best,

Buddhist Highlights of Burma · Myanmar - Mar 18 - Mar 25, 2019
Don't know where to begin - Everything was great!
Anne made planning the trip an easy and interesting experience. We changed our format, timing and group numbers several times and she worked with us to ensure the trip went off without incident. She had excellent recommendations on where to go (we customized the format).
Tin, our River guide, was amazing. Comprehensive knowledge of Myanmar, the areas we traveled and of Buddhism; excellent English, friendly but non-intrusive, and... read more

Mingalarbar Don, thanks for this kind review and feedback.
I am so glad your group of worldly travelers enjoyed their time in Myanmar! Your input during the planning process was incredibly helpful as well- it helped me to design the best route and pair you up with the right guide. I'll be sure to pass along your warm words to Tin and the boat crew and we hope that one day you will come back for another river journey along the Irrawaddy or Chindwin Rivers!

Highlights of Myanmar - 10 Day Tour · Myanmar - Feb 12 - Feb 22, 2019
Thanks Anne for re-scheduling according to our needs - especially in light of the flight problems.
All went according to plan. All guides and drivers were helpful. We will be visiting Myanmar again with Kimkim.
Naresh and Nila

Dear Naresh & Nila- thanks for your review and happy to hear you enjoyed your time in Myanmar! Changes unexpectedly do happen with flights, so I am glad we were able to make some last minute changes to accommodate your international delay. We look forward to helping you plan your next visit here to the Golden Land!
Yangon & Bagan · Myanmar - Mar 2 - Mar 6, 2019
From planning to the actual trip, we couldn’t be happier with our trip to Myanmar. Anne was a super guide, very prompt and accommodating during the planning process. The trip went smoothly, everyone in our group thoroughly enjoyed and just love Myanmar. Our local guides, Sai in Yangon and Zaw in Bagan were great, we quickly became friends in a very short period of time. We will gladly refer our friends to Anne in the future!

Thanks for the kind words, My Chau! It was fun planning this trip with you and will share your feedback with Sai and Zaw. Myanmar is a special place so I hope we have the chance to welcome you and your friends back to see a bit more (and hopefully fit in a balloon flight next time!)
Highlights and culture · Myanmar - Feb 27 - Mar 5, 2019
Our recent trip to Myanmar was excellent from start to finish! Anne’s pre-planning was spot on and her quick responses and suggestions for any changes along the way made everything so easy and completely worry free.
We only had a short time to take in as many experiences and sites as possible without feeling rushed - and we succeeded.
Each of our local guides were wonderful - knowledgeable, accommodating and so generous and passionate about their part of the world.

Hi Sue and Susan,
Thanks for your feedback about your short but sweet holiday in Myanmar! We are glad you enjoyed your time with our guides and discovering the best of the local food and culture. I'll share this with Naing, Thinzar and Su as well as our drivers- we all look forward to welcoming you back again soon!

Myanmar Family Holiday - 12 Days · Myanmar - Feb 19 - Mar 1, 2019
Our trip to Myanmar was absolutely amazing in large part because of Anne’s outstanding skills in getting this trip together for us so it would be perfect! All the hotels were great and most of All all our guides were so knowledgeable and kind. We felt pampered and cared for and felt safe and happy the whole time!
We would definitely recommend this trip and most of all
Recommend Anne . She was outstanding!

Thanks so much for your kind words, Monique & Chili! It was fun designing your holiday and I'm glad it worked out to be the perfect fit. Our guides are proud to have shared their hometowns with you and to help you create wonderful memories of Myanmar. We wish you many more great travel adventures to come!
Action Cycling · Myanmar - Feb 22 - Mar 4, 2019
Anne was very responsive to our requests in the planning process. The choice of our guide Akar was excellent. Good listener and adjusted plan on the fly. My wife was sick for the first 2 days and he was very attentive. His choice of meal stops was great and were the nutritious snacks along the way.
Hotels were as requested, porches, quiet and off the beaten path. The driver chosen was skilled and cautious-we felt safe in the van.
We will use Kimkim again for future adventure travel.
Regards,
William Thomas

Mingalarbar! We are glad you enjoyed your cycling trip through Myanmar- going by two wheels is certainly a great way to see the country! Arkar enjoyed riding with you and sharing his knowledge of Myanmar, the food, its people and its backroads with you. Hope to see you on another cycling adventure again soon!
Je zu tin ba deh!

Interested in 2 Myanmar tours · Myanmar - Feb 8 - Feb 12, 2019
I have been all over the world but my recent trip to Myanmar was truly something special. From the very beginning Shu Shwe Yee and Linn Linn were very hands on in helping me plan my perfect personalized trip. They were always available to quickly answer any questions, make any itinerary changes, and offer local advice. Everything about the trip happened without any incidents and I knew i was in good hands the entire time. I was able to enjoy Yangon, Bagan, and the Mandalay area on my... read more

Dear Michael,
Thank you so much for your lovely ,great and generous review. :)
I am very happy to receive your feed back and I feel sorry that you did not have enough time to see Inle lake. However , you come to Myanmar again , why not ? there are still a lot of places you can enjoy and explore here.
Thanks again and have a lovely day!

Myanmar with the locals (and a touch of luxury) · Myanmar - Jan 20 - Feb 5, 2019
Our recent 17 day tour in Myanmar was superb. Anne, our 4 guides and 4 drivers made us feel like royalty. We have never had the luxury of a private tour for 2 before and we have now been well and truly spoilt. The local people of Myanmar, the sights, the food - quite the experience. Thank you for having us.

Hi Lisa & Malcolm, thanks for your review. We loved sharing the beauty of Myanmar with you both and glad we were able to offer the right mix of luxury and local experiences for your holiday! Wishing you many more great travels in the years to come and perhaps will see you back in Myanmar again one day!
Myanmar Private Your · Myanmar - Feb 4 - Feb 11, 2019
I booked a trip to Myanmar with Anne and it was one of the best trips I've ever had going solo. My itinerary was specifically tailored to my wants and needs. I spent 7 days in Myanmar, visiting Yangon, Lake Inle and Bagan with a mixture of sight-seeing and learning the history of Myanmar, eating delicious food and spending time with local families.
Anne (the trip planner) has been a god-send, super experienced and knowledgeable about Myanmar, but also most importantly very accommodating... read more

Mingalarbar Andrew- thanks for taking the time to share such a detailed review with us. I'm delighted that the trip, hotels and services were a perfect fit. And thanks for your praise of our guides- I agree that their passion truly makes the experience extraordinary! Hope to welcome you back again one day soon!
Local Highlights of Yangon, Bagan and Inle Lake - 8 Days · Myanmar - Feb 5 - Feb 11, 2019
I've always loved the planning process for my holidays but while researching on Myanmar on a tight timeline, I felt increasingly unsure as I navigated through inconsistent and outdated details from Tripadvisor forums. For once, I wanted to just sit back and not worry about planning and timings etc. And than I came across KimKim.
I had sent Anne a query on a weekend and heard back from her in under an hour with recommendations based on my needs. The itinerary was so thoughtful that I didn't... read more

Thanks, Eleanor, for sharing your feedback on your visit to Myanmar! I am glad we were able to put together such a memorable trip for you at the last minute- your photos truly capture the beauty and serenity of Hpa An! On behalf of Nwel, AKM and Thaw, thanks for visiting and we hope to welcome you back again to Myanmar soon!
Myanmar Adventure Tour - 15 Days · Myanmar - Dec 29 - Jan 16, 2019
Anne was fantastic for start to finish. Easy to communicate with, understood our requirements ..... and delivered. All the guides without exception were great, as were the drivers and the sub guides in the various specialised areas.
Myanmar is a brilliant destination. People are suffering in the tourism industry due, seemingly unjustly to the misinterpretation of “ the troubles “ in the Rokine State by the international media. It is unfortunate that the fall out from this means less tourists, less jobs & less income.

Thanks for the review, I will share your kind words with our team! So great to see these beautiful photos and read your impressions of Myanmar- we hope more guests will look beyond the headlines and come visit to support the local economy. All the best!
Best of Myanmar- 3 weeks · Myanmar - Dec 27 - Jan 17, 2019
Myanmar, what an amazing desitination! Such a diverse country and the people are so very gracious.
Tourism is just starting to take off there, so go sooner rather than later!
Our trip organiser Anne put together an amazing trip for us and included everything we asked for plus more! We went to all the main areas....Yangon, Mandaly, Bagan, Inle and a few not so frequented spots. Our accommodation in Inle was at the very tranquil south end and was our very favourite memory, we went to a... read more

Mingalarbar, Thanks so much for feedback and glad you had such a memorable journey -the pictures are fabulous, too! I'm delighted to hear you loved the local experiences and lesser-known destinations- it was fun to create this trip and I know our guides had fun along the way. Hope you have many more great adventures to come in 2019!

Highlights of Myanmar - 10 Day Tour · Myanmar - Dec 22 - Jan 2, 2019
Anne is great and super efficient, helped me to finalize the 12-day trip schedule quickly just one week before the trip, by adapting to my budget and major interests as much as she could. The trip was very well organized covering all the places I wanted to visit and also lots of interaction with the locals. All the tour guides and drivers are professional and very friendly. Myanmar is an amazing country with very unique history, culture and local customs, people are genuine and extremely... read more

Mingalarbar Vicky! Thanks for sharing your feedback with us and your recommendations for future travelers- Myanmar is a magical place and we loved sharing it with you. So glad that we could put together the last minute trip for you and hope that you will come back again soon!
Highlights of Myanmar - 10 Day Tour · Myanmar - Dec 25 - Jan 4, 2019
We had an amazing time in Myanmar, thanks to all the guides and drivers! All the guides spoke very clearly and were very knowledgeable. They went out of their way to assist us in every way possible. We felt very safe while being driven around by the drivers.
Accomodation at Mountain Top Hotel was of a high standard.
All the tours ran to schedule with more than sufficient time at each venue.
I would happily recommend Kim Kim tours to anybody wishing to visit Myanmar. Thank you.

Hello dear Pearl, I'm very happy to hear that you had an amazing time. I've passed it to my team and they are now very glad to know about it. Yes, I'm always here to provide you a wonderful trip. Yours Su
Adventure, off road hiking/ trekking and climbing · Myanmar - Dec 26 - Jan 4, 2019
I booked a last minute (quite literally) trip to Myanmar and arranged a trekking experience with the help of Monica and her team. Monica was instrumental in ensuring an absolute seamless travel experience and I got a lot more out of my travels than I expected. I couldn't recommend Monica highly enough, she is very pleasant to speak to, highly knowledgable and assisted in putting together a pacakage that fit exactly the kind of trip I wanted to have - in my case a solo, genuine experience of... read more

Hi Neb, happy to read your reviews, welcome anytime!
Highlights of Myanmar - 10 Day Tour · Myanmar - Dec 24 - Jan 5, 2020
We had the most phenomenal trip , a lifetime of memories and experiences over the 10 days. The hotels were all fabulous, the guides informative, knowledgeable and helpful and the choice of destinations and activities were perfect.
Our favorite guides were Aung in Yangon, Jery in Mandalay and Min Min in Inle Lake.
I would highly recommend KimKim to organise the best highlight tour of Myanmar to take account of your special requests, adapt the itinerary to suit your preferences and overall give you a holiday experience of a lifetime.
The balloon flight in Bagan was the highlight!

Mingalarbar Gaylene ,
Thanks for sharing your great memories during your trip in Myanmar! We are glad that we could create the perfect trip plan for you and I will pass your lovely messages to my team! There are still so many places left to explore in Myanmar and would love to welcome you again.

Anne was incredible! She’s prompt, responsive and professional. I want Anne to plan every one of our trip if possible! Thank you Anne for a wonderful trip!

Hi Thao and Brad- thanks for spending your new year holidays in Myanmar! Glad you had a wonderful time and that I could help make the planning process a smooth one. Please do let us know if you plan to return again!
Fascinating Myanmar · Myanmar - Dec 24 - Dec 29, 2018
The overall trip was very well organised and the guides and drivers were very punctual. The two local guides we had in Yangon, Ms Kyi Kyi Aye and Mr Min Thu Swe in Bagan were very knowledgeable and friendly. They made a big difference to the trip.

Dear Ee Lin ,
Thank you so much for your kind words. I am very happy to hear that you are satisfied for the whole trip, thank you for your appreciation especially to our guides and drivers. I will pass your great words to my team , guides and drivers. Your photos are lovely!
Thanks again and wish you happy new year!

Photo tour · Myanmar - Dec 6 - Dec 16, 2018
The guides provided were all excellent and they know their job well. Starting in Yangon we're greeted by Cherry Kyaw who attended to our need in details and with always a smile. In Mandalay, after a delay of our flights from Yangon, we're greeted by Lu Wine who immediately took us to a lovely dinner. We arranged for an early morning start for a sunrise at Mandalay Hills. No problems there. After the morning sunrise shoot, went back to the hotel breakfast after which we continue for the... read more

Thanks Tack for sharing your feedback and all of these amazing photos! We are delighted that you enjoyed your photo-focused tour through Myanmar and spending time with our local guides. We would love to welcome you and your friends back again! All the best and wishing you many great adventures to come in 2019!
Birthday away · Myanmar - Dec 4 - Dec 12, 2018
Superb organisation, all my thoughts, hopes and desires were accommodated .. and improved on.
The style and direction of my birthday away was fitted in beautifully. As I suggested my preferences,
Ideas and thoughts were suggested to improve my enjoyment of the visit.
Each day required different transport, food, accommodation, in the manner I chose to travel, and I was not disappointed . Everything dovetailed together and gave me a special time away.
A pleasure to have a breakfast with Anne on my final day. Wonderful send off. Loved Burma.

Mingalarbar Peter- we are glad you enjoyed your (re)visit to beautiful Myanmar! Your trip request was quite different from most, so I'm pleased that we were able to put together the perfect combination in the end. It was a delight sharing a beer on your birthday and a farewell bowl of mohinga- hope our paths cross again soon!

Spiritual and Physical Exploration · Myanmar - Nov 20 - Nov 29, 2018
This review will inevitably be too short to capture the brilliance and splendor of Myanmar -- both its people and its places. My guides: Minthu, Thinzar, and Wai were all fantastic. Anne, owner of Myanmar Pure and all-around amazing human, used my input to handcraft a one of a kind spiritual and physical journey that had me interacting with locals, cooking meals, watching handmade crafts be made, and involved planes, trains, automobiles, e-bikes (think vespa), and boats. I met local fortune... read more

Hi Lexi, thanks for the lovely feedback- it speaks volumes about the wonderful people and hospitality in Myanmar! Glad we were able to fit in so many unique experiences for you and hope the memories stay with you and bring a smile to your face. Minthu, Thinzar and Wai are waiting for you to come back again so hope it is not too far in the distant future!
Myanmar’s 'Big Four' Destinations · Myanmar - Nov 27 - Dec 3, 2018
We had a fantastic time in Myanmar; it's a magical place. Our itinerary: One day, Yangon, two days in Bagan, two days in Mandalay, one day in Heho.
We took four internal flights, and we found the domestic airlines to be excellent. I felt more safe than on some US airlines. All we're prop planes.
The whole tour was great and the guides we're wonderful. They all had different strengths
Our guide in Yangon, Ong, was extremely knowledgeable. We called him as a nickname Google. And his... read more

Dear Stephen,
Thank you so much for your fantastic feed back and great photos. We are very glad to hear that the whole tour was great and your appreciation to our local guides. I will share your lovely photos and feedback to all of team members and especially to our guides as well.
Thank you again for recommendation to use Kim Kim and there are still a lot of amazing places which are waiting for you and we would love to welcome you again from beautiful country Myanmar.
With warmest wishes from sunny Yangon,

sundar burma trip · Myanmar - Nov 28 - Dec 4, 2018
The communications should be directly with the person and not with the whole group!
Payment should be in 2 installments, 50% down payment and the final payment of 50% 2-4 weeks before the trip.
You should give us the phone number of the local person who will be receiving us at the airport.
We should have a copy of the flight reservations/confirmation.
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and the resort- I’ll at Lake Inle. We wish we had more time there!
Most of the guides were excellent.
Thanks,
Jaya and Satya Ahuja
sundar burma trip · Myanmar - Nov 28 - Dec 4, 2018
Guides in Yangon, Mandalay, Bagan and inley lake were good. However, the ones in Mandalay and Inlet lake had no clue about our departure times or flight iternerary causing confusion on the last days in those cities. The guide in Yangon was misinformed about our arrival at airport on Dec 3rd and showed up 1 and 1/2 hours after our arrival at the airport only after we communicated with Su by email. If Su had not answered we would have had to find a way to reach Savoy hotel ourselves at night one way or the other.
Trip to Myanmar · Myanmar - Nov 5 - Nov 19, 2018
I enjoyed the complete trip, my guides, Thwe Thwe Gmtt, May Han Thu, Kyikyi Aye and Ko Zay were all very knowledgeable and fun to be with. Riding the bike in Yangan visiting the villages and seeing all the markets were very special for me not only as a photographer but to interact with the people. Being able to go to peoples homes and have shared meals was very memorable. Seeing lots of things and never feeling rushed. The Balloons over Bagan was an experience not to be missed.

Thank you, Donn for your great feedback and I'm very happy to hear that you enjoyed the complete trip and had cherished memories in our beautiful country. I will also pass your valuable feedback to our team and the guides. It is great to hear that you recommend Balloons over Bagan. There are also Balloons Over Inle and Mandalay which can give you difference experiences. If you have the chance to visit again we would love to show your more of Myanmar!
Best wishes from beautiful Yangon,

Myanmar & Thailand Tour - 15 Days · Myanmar - Nov 10 - Nov 21, 2018
Overall, my experience was great. Su was incredibly helpful and very responsive on the planning portion of the trip.
My local guides were very knowledgeable, although sometimes my questions where unanswered mostly due to a language barrier.
On a scale from 1 to 5 I would rate them all at a 4. Out of all my guides I was particularly fond of my guide in Mandalay, as he was the easiest to communicate with.
I would recommend Su and all of my guides to anyone visiting Myanmar.
Kimkim's Cycling Myanmar Trip · Myanmar - Nov 14 - Nov 23, 2018
Myanmar was AMAZING. The care and quality of the planning made all the difference. Anne went far far beyond my expectations in building a trip that reflected all that excited me (in this case cycling, culture, food, the people, the reasons why, ...). I have had countless great travel experiences, and working with Pure Myanmar was one of the top. Each day was unique; transitions were seamless; lots of little extras (I'm not a big beer fan & she handed me a bottle of rum ... I wanted consistent... read more

Thanks, Lisa, for the great feedback and positive words about Myanmar! Arkar and Thet Wai enjoyed cycling with you and introducing you to the culture and some of the more unusual local food. We do our best to take care of the little things - and being well 'hydrated' is important on a cycling trip :) Hope we can welcome you and your friends on a group foodie/cycling journey next year!
Three weeks in Myanmar · Myanmar - Nov 4 - Nov 23, 2018
Everything about this trip was superb, from the moment I first got in touch with Anne. She was an excellent planner who understood exactly what I was looking for. On the ground, the guides, drivers, accommodations and arranged food were excellent. I was all around impressed. I had an emergency and Anne was on hand via WhatsApp immediately, which was a great help and relief. I highly recommend Anne and a trip to Myanmar.

Hi Emilia, thanks so much for your kind words! Your spirit of adventure and discovery made it so much fun to plan the journey and our team enjoyed sharing their home towns with you. Thanks for visiting Myanmar, sharing your experiences with your friends back home and we hope you come back again soon!

Myanmar is a beautiful country & the people are warm & welcoming. They gave us such insight into their lives plus showed an interest in us as people also. We were very grateful for the hotels Anne had chosen for us & staff couldnt do enough to make sure we were happy. We were able to go into the villages & non-touristy areas &... read more

Our three guides and three drivers in the areas of Mandalay, Pyin Oo Lwin, Bagan, Popa, Salay, Pindaya, Dalaw and Loikaw were all excellent. There was nothing we could fault them on. They gave us an insight into the lives and culture in each area we visited. They warmed to our Australian sense of humour and made our trip a lot of fun. All the various Hotels that we stayed in all staff couldn't do enough to please us. Our guides on the Pindaya Trek and Loikaw Village Trek interacted well... read more

Dear Ros & Geoff,

Highlights of Myanmar - 10 Day Tour · Myanmar - Sep 4 - Sep 17, 2018
Reno hotel-Yangon almost if not all non smoking room smells smoking if the aircon is not running.
Guide in Bagan not explaining the history of Bagan and each monument we went well enough or none at all.
Guide in Yangon, enle lake, mandalay were very good. All Drivers drive good and safe. Restaurant were averagely ok.
Tour generally are so so. Why..?? Market here today and everyday and last day in Yangon were 3-4 markets all day. Photography is not just all markets. Sunrise and sunset is a must. Tribes , customs, traditions, history, important monuments and etc.

Thank you for your feedback, dear Charlie ! Your feedbacks help me a lot to improve our services. I'm glad to hear that you are very happy with the guides in Yangon, Mandalay, and Inle Lake. I will also pass your feedback to them.
In the near future, if you have the plan to visit here again, please do not hesitate to contact me anytime.
All the best,

Brief trip to Myanmar from Bankik · Myanmar - Aug 20 - Aug 24, 2018
Our 2 main guides Akkar and Nye Nye were amazing: professional, funny, accommodating. And they truly made our experiences so perfect. We found Myanmar magical. Loved going by e-bike through the pagodas. Akkar got us a romantic horse and carriage ride through the pagodas the first night and had recommended the restaurant Moon which was delicious. Nye nye was a total joy to be with. We particularly loved going to his village on Inle Lake, eating lunch at his family’s house and getting a tour of the village by dug our canoe with he and his Mum. Loved it all

Minglarbar! Thanks Cynthia for taking the time to share your feedback here- it is always great to read about our guests' favorite parts of the trip and to know that you enjoyed traveling with our team! We hope you can come back again soon- Nye Nye's mom is already asking when you will return for more fish and canoe rides!
Myanmar · Myanmar - Jul 17 - Jul 29, 2018
We had a wonderful trip. Myanmar is beautiful country, the people are so friendly! The first contact with Anne was very promising and after a few e-mails we got a very good proposal in which Anne really proposed what we like to do. We love having close contact with the local people and we had! Lunches at family homes, a trekking around Pindaya, the Inle Lake, Kalaw and much more. The train rides between Kalaw and Inle lake was a great experience. In Bagan we explored the beautiful area with E... read more

Thanks so much for your feedback- on behalf of our team, we are glad you enjoyed your stay here and loved Myanmar as much as we do! It really makes us happy to welcome guests like your family who want to spend time immersed in the local culture, so it was a lot of fun for us to put together your holiday.
We hope you enjoyed your onward travels and that one day we can welcome you back to Myanmar again!
Myanmar & Thailand Tour - 15 Days · Myanmar - Jul 23 - Aug 6, 2018
What a great trip! Loved Myanmar. The first time I visited was as a backpacker in my mid 20s in 1986. That as a remarkable time to visit what was then Burma but I certainly travelled rough.
This time I requested higher end accommodation for my wife and I. Anne excelled with her selection. For instance, the Sanctum Inn and Bagan Lodge were modern suites in 5 Star accommodation. But we loved every choice she made for us, plus she saved us some money by recommending we stay at the Savoy in... read more

Dear Rod and Jane,
Thanks for the wonderful feedback and delighted to hear you loved Myanmar- it is a special place and your photos really capture the beauty and atmosphere of the country! I will pass on your kind words to our guides and drivers. No matter what I plan, they are the ones who really 'make it happen' and I'm so glad you enjoyed your time with them and their flexibility with your excursions.
Hope you can make it back for a third visit to Myanmar one day soon!

Highlights of Mandalay and Bagan - 5 Days · Myanmar - Jul 16 - Jul 21, 2018
Our guide in Mandalay, Thwe Thwe, was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about her country's history and culture. We really appreciated the opportunity to learn more about Myanmar through a local guide. We liked visiting a Buddhist monastery and sharing a meal with a family. We also liked seeing a small village that produced palm oil and learning about their way of life. ToeHlaing was our guide in Bagan and he was very nice. Our most memorable part of Bagan will always be renting... read more

He was incredibly patient and knowledgeable and built us an unbelievable trip! Everything ran to an absolute t! We chose the route Mandalay-Bagan-Inle Lake-Yangon route. The tour guides provided were absolutely top class and gave us such a great insight into the history of Myanmar. The transport was comfortable and very punctual.

In terms of the guides themselves they were all locals from the specific region... read more

Anne and the rest of the guides/drivers were great. I could not say more about Anne and the response time, care of client etc... This was a once in a lifetime trip and I was happy that Anne was the one that could plan it for me.

Thanks Christian! It was fun planning this trip - you were up for every local experience we could offer! And so glad we could fit in the visit to Green Hill Valley at the last minute. I hope you enjoyed your onward travels in Thailand and that we get a chance to welcome you to Myanmar again soon!

Myanmar culture focus · Myanmar - Jan 12 - Jan 26, 2018
Everything went smoothly from start to finish. We were met at Yangon airport and transferred to our accommodation.
This was of a very acceptable standard.
Our trip to Bago was easy (an excellent driver) and our guide was knowledgable and informative.
The accommodation in Bago (Shwe Pyi Resort) did have some minor problems (power failures, termites? eating the bamboo bedheads, and the distance to breakfast). But I recognise that there were not a lot of alternatives. I was happy there but my... read more

I was set up with a very good schedule. Got to see some of what others do not get to see. This was a once-in-a-lifetime trip for me and it was important to get as many of the importantant sites seen before heading home. Kimkim did that.
Guides were fairly proficient in English. They may not have pronounced all the words correctly but I knew what they were saying. And all of them were very helpful. They tried to answer all my questions, provided extra services like gem and jewellry shopping, and were able to explain some of the quirkiness that is Myanmar.
Myanmar is a must see.

Hi Steven!
Thank you for taking time to review our service. With this trip being planned out yet didn't get a chance to travel last year, I was worried that this time might not meet your excitement. All are good now when I hear that you have enjoyed the travel.
Sorry that our guides' language skill is not so perfect. I will be more mindful to assign the guides with better English proficiency in the future. In the meantime, thank you so much for being considerate with them.
Thank you for... read more
Myanmar Trip · Myanmar - Jan 29 - Feb 13, 2018
We had an incredible Myanmar trip that Anne Cruickshanks from Myanmar Pure helped put together. Anne was amazing in creating an itinerary filled with activities that were tailored to our interests, intentions and yet gently pushed us beyond what we normally do on our own trips.
She truly listened and talked to us prior to the trip to better understand us as travellers and proposed itineraries that suited our needs. Anne is responsive, intuitive and knows Myanmar beyond the beautiful... read more

Hi JC! Thanks for the wonderful, personalized feedback. I'm so glad that KimKim connected us and even happier to know that you enjoyed your Myanmar travels and all of the experiences along the way! I will pass on your kind words to our team and would love to help you plan your next journey!
Sabbatical · Myanmar - Jan 21 - Feb 2, 2018
As experienced travellers this was the first time we had 'outsourced' our travel planning and we couldn't have been happier with the outcome. Anne took the time to fully understand our ambitious wishlist and returned with a suggested itinerary that whilst action-packed never felt overwhelming or rushed.
Each of our local guides managed to strike the right balance between being extremely attentive whilst also letting us explore at our own leisure. As well as visiting flagship attractions... read more

Mingalarbar Tom & Harriet! Thanks for putting your trust in us to plan your Myanmar holiday-
it was a fun challenge to design and organize the trip! Wonderful to hear you enjoyed the balance of excursions and getting in to the local culture with our guides. We sincerely do hope you will come back and explore more of Myanmar with us- there is so much to see and do and we would love to share it with you. All the best!
Thai Burma · Myanmar - Feb 9 - Feb 16, 2018
One of the best trips of my life! Tour was nicely set up, and Anne make changes where necessary when my flight screwed up my arrival. The Bagan tour guide was very good, and the accommodations at the hotel were superb. And the cooking class was very informative and tasty. Flights and airport transfers went without a hitch. I highly recommend the tour, and KimKim tour company.

Dear Tim- thanks for the kind words and beautiful photos! I know you and Robert had a short time on the ground (even shorter with the hitch on the international flight!)- I am glad we could maximize it and provide such memorable experiences. I hope you can come back so that we can show you other parts of beautiful Myanmar!
Best Trekking & Biking Trails in Myanmar · Myanmar - Jan 3 - Jan 27, 2018
We had a wonderful month in Myanmar being looked after by a range of guides who were all fabulous. Great knowledge, love of the country and fun to spend time with.

Swimming at waterfall and sleeping at monetary were terrific experiences. hot air ballooning over bagan, Inle Lake was a delightful and different location, the meal we ate at our...
