The shape of the heart icon reflects the core values of excellent service by which we judge our performance in everything we do: Attitude, Art of Service and Efficient Processes. Our travel experts have the knowledge, skills and positive attitude in their hearts to provide excellent service to the most sophisticated travelers.

All the hotels selected were first class, especially the Myanmar Treasure Inle Lake staying in a cottage by the lake from which we could watch the early morning fishermen.
