Hi, 

I’ll be travelling on Cunard and will be in Chennai in March. 

I would like to organise a private tour so that I can see the George Town markets, and something related to the British History of the area. I’m keen to do a lot of walking and some public transport. 

Does anyone have any suggestions of tour guides?

thanks. 

Hi,

I am going on my first cruise this December on Holland America on the Asian adventure.

I am trying to organise a couple of day tours while we are in Yangon (for 5 adults). I would like to organise to do a tour with a company other than through the ship. I have contacted a few companies about this and received some responses.

But once I received was a little odd.

It states that "We also need a document on behalf of cruise Management which indicates that they allow the authorization for our company for ground handling of 05 persons visiting around Yangon.

If not, we had to add 120$/pax (i.e: 100$/pax as government tax+ 20$/pax for ground permission fees). Kindly note that these charges go directly to Ministry of Tourism Authority in Myanmar."

Does anyone know if this is correct?

Also any recommendations for tour companies?

Thanks
