Review: The ease of a river cruise makes for a great introduction to Burma.
Rooms were small, but clean and efficient. The crew were attentive and friendly and wanted to please — and our guide San was a wealth of information in a difficult country to understand and navigate. Overall, the tour was perfect! It was truly stepping back in time — no cash machines — so bring loads of clean crisp dollars! And very little Internet, which I am sure is changing as I write this review! Visiting Bagan and its hundreds of temples was awe inspiring; and waking up in the morning to find a village or monastery outside the boat was wonderful and at times noisy — part of River Life! Highly recommend this trip to those with a thirst for knowledge and a desire to explore a country not easy to navigate, with the ease of a river cruise. It was a wonderful way to begin a relationship with Burma.
