I'm not sure about that solution. I crossed Myanmar last fall and I understood that the third person was a "governmental guide" and that she had to be there possibly to keep an eye on us.

Burma Senses organised everything very well and I was very pleased to make that tour. Thanks to Win and Aung.

My experience with Burma Sense

Hello everyone I want to share too my experience with this company. I'm one of the first (if not the first) traveler who cross Myanmar in 2014 with Burma Sense, and we had (me and other 13 travelers more) a similar situation, we paid to Burma Sense but they didn't run the tour, they contracted a local company (in my case Osuga Myanmar Travels) to do it.

Also Burma Sense made a mistake with the dates, because the road to reach Mae Sot was only in one way, and our day was in the wrong way for us. So we were one day more in Myanmar, but Burma Sense didn't pay the hotel for the extra night, they ask us for more money. Finally, the Osuga owner arrange for free the day extra for everyone.

If somebody want, you can contact Osuga at info@osugamyanmartravels.com

Would anyone who has already done this care to share the price they paid along with the details of your trip....the company you used, how many in the party, how long it took, and what was included? Would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
