PAGAN AND THE UPPER IRRAWADDY REVIEW

STEPHEN & JULIA PATTRICK, PAGAN & THE UPPER IRRAWADDY, JAN 2016

We've recently returned from a trip to Myanmar which included a your 10 day "Bagan and Upper Irrawaddy" (14 Jan- 24 Jan) cruise, what a wonderful experience. Your boat "Zawgyi" was a splendid "hotel" and provided the most ideal way to seen the country and life by the river. Our accommodation and boat facilities were super and the food your chefs turned out, from such a cramped kitchen, was excellent in terms of choice, quality and presentation.

The one thing that really stood out over the duration of the trip was the crew and the way they all worked together to make the trip so special and memorable. They really worked as a team, all mixing in and doing whatever was necessary regardless of their apparent job. When the trip got delayed they shuffled the schedule so that we didn't miss anything and the captain and his boat crew worked very very long days to ensure we recovered lost time, including sending the pilot boat into the evening darkness to find us a safe route. Not surprisingly some of the crew didn't speak much English but we still managed to communicate adequately using "international sign language" and the abiding memory will be of their endless beaming smiles, everyone of them played an important part and played it so well.

As a company you provided a great holiday package but you should be particularly proud of your crew, the whole crew, for the efficient and cheery way they delivered it to make our holiday so special and truly memorable. Thank you.

Regards,
Stephen & Julia
