ACL-1230 Ms.Janice M N Bressler (U.S.A)(visited on 15 Feb 2019)
Thank you for your attentiveness to my needs on the tour. I enjoyed my travel in Myanmar very much. This is the first time I have taken a private tour and I was very pleased. The guides were so attentive to my needs and assisted me every step of the way. I almost fest like I wasn't blind they were so good at their guidance.
I was especially pleased that the guides were flexible and when I preferred to do something different from the itinerary, they were very cooperative. Obviously for me watching the sunset was not a high priority for me and I enjoyed other activities instead. All the guides were also very good at finding food for me that was delicious and vegetarian and the right price for me. They tailored everything to my needs and wishes.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting me in my tour of Myanmar. I hope to return to Myanmar in the future. Perhaps I will be able to teach English there someday, and if I do I will certainly want to travel more throughout the country. thank you for your excellent service!

ACL-63, Mr. John Jame Hickey (British)
We have recently returned from a 9 night / 10 day holiday in Myanmar. Our group consisted of my wife, our two sons aged 25 and 23 and myself. We used a local travel company called Asia Central Link Co. LTD ( ACL )They helped us plan the trip and provided a very detailed itinerary from Yangoon- Bagan- Mandalay- Pindaya- Inle- Yangoon. The trip include transport in an air-conditioned people carrier with a driver, local, English speaking guides for each destination, 3* accommodation, including breakfast, 3 internal flights, a 3 day / 2 night river cruise aboard the Irrawaddy Princess II and a complimentary farewell meal. Each place we visited had a full itinerary for local places of interest and were explained in the greatest of detail by our helpful guides.
When it came to the end of the holiday, ACL asked us to complete an evaluation form about every aspect of the holiday, which our group did together to ensure we included everyone's perspective. We rated everything as excellent, which I am sure you will appreciate takes some doing for a tour company.
In terms of planning the trip ACL, were very helpful and flexible; there was a sense of good timing and efficiency when planning and then delivering the holiday.
We would highly recommend the use of Asia Central Link CO. LTD.

We so enjoyed working with ACL and were delighted with the private custom package they put together for us, well
within our budget. The guides were all accommodating and very knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. Hotels
excellent, great locations and met our American standards. We had so many personal experiences. In Bagan we did
a Rotary service project of buying food for a month to feed 74 orphaned boys. In Mandalay I had the opportunity
to assist in feeding monks at a College monastery. In Mogok we were invited to have lunch at a relative’s home
of our guide. We truly had the opportunity of being and enjoying the warm friendly people of Myanmar and getting
to know their fascinating culture.
The office personal of ACL, offer good and prompt communication via email and spoke good English with our phone calls.
I highly recommend using this company.

What really made the trip special are the
guides that you provided for us. They were
all knowledgeable and showed a genuine
desire to share the Myanmar culture.
Transportation was first rate. Cars were
well maintained and drivers safe.
Accommodations were what we requested as
well. We can highly recommend Viewpoint in
Bagan and Bayview in Inle. Panorama was as
we requested and adequate for a one night
stay in Yangon.
I also want to thank you for your prompt
responses to my many requests. In the end,
after consulting with 4 different travel
agents, I chose ACL because of your prompt
and detailed responses. I knew we made the
right choice when you hadn't received the
