"I am excited to be coordinating this absolutely unique journey through one of the most beautiful countries in Asia. On this bespoke tour we shall retrace the colonial history as well as see how rural life in Burma has still hardly changed from Kipling’s times."


Allie Dunnington, Tour Leader    2012    IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF RUDYARD KIPLING
 

"We loved it all !  We really hope the Community project takes off in Rukha - such a beautiful area, lovely people, and good opportunities for trekking. It really is good to get right to the heart of a country and you gave us the chance to do that."


    2011    Exploring Hidden Bhutan
 

"We were amazed how Tudevee and Nyama could make sense of the network of trails we followed. Nyama also had a knack for selecting the most scenic (and wind and insect -free) sites when it came time to set up camp."


Robert Tremblay    2011    Cycling Adventure
 

"The Burmese are the friendliest people you will ever meet. The country is stunning and a visit there is a necessity for everyone to spread the word about beautiful Myanmar"


Henrietta Breitmeyer    2011    LOST CITIES, HIDDEN TRAILS
 

"Panoramic Journeys put together a truly rewarding itinerary for us with a wide variety of differing sights to keep the interest levels high."


Paul Hyland and Jonna Law     2011    
 

"The Burmese are the friendliest people you will ever meet. The country is stunning and a visit there is a necessity for everyone to spread the word about beautiful Myanmar"


Henrietta Breitmeyer    2011    LOST CITIES, HIDDEN TRAILS
 

''With Panoramic Journeys you can always be assured that they will try & achieve just that little bit extra over what could possibly be anticipated. Burma was no exception & as a country exceeded all our expectations.''


Chris and Frangie Hutton    2011    JEWELS OF THE IRRAWADDY
 

''Yet another exceptional & well planned trip from Panoramic Journeys.Burma offers something for everyone,whether it be a hot air balloon ride over the temples at Bagan, exploring Inle Lake & its monasteries by boat or trekking through the spectacular scenery on offer. All topped by the most welcoming people you are likely to meet anywhere.''


Chris and Frangie Hutton    2011    Jewels of the Irrawaddy
 

"The most spectacular country, with the most wonderful people - organised with sensitivity and attention to detail. Classic highlights mixed with something a little different - all with the Panoramic Journeys touch that makes every trip so magical and eternally memorable"


Di Nicholson    2011    LOST CITIES, HIDDEN TRAILS
 

"One of the very best trips we have been on - we were bowled over by the friendliness of the people and the amazing sights, not to mention the food! A great time to go as the country seems to be emerging from its difficult past"


Richard Draper    2011    LOST CITIES, HIDDEN TRAILS
 

"We had such a great holiday due to many things - Burma itself, our guide Frankie, the friendliness of the people we met, and of course Panoramic Journeys"


Anna Quarendon    2011    LOST CITIES, HIDDEN TRAILS
 

"We were very impressed with Panoramic Journeys' planning and organisation of the trip. You made everything easy for us. Esee and Nyama were brilliant and our stay at your refugio was my high point."


Ann Hodgson    2010    Spring Journey
 

"Fantastic service from all concerned, but a special mention must go to Ulzii, our driver, who was a real star. Our guide Togi was fun, personable and provided excellent picnics in stunning locations"


Andrea & Brian Shorey    2010    Mongolian Epic Incl. Naadam
 

"We like the idea of responsible tourism and Panoramic Journeys offer exactly this with their choice of sustainable projects, combined with tours of different parts of Mongolia. Only by witnessing the work that has gone into this project to bring it where it is does one realise how committed Byamba and her husband are, together with the volunteers  who make such a valuable contribution."


Penny Revitt    2010    Gobi Oasis
 

"We went with Panoramic Journeys with the impression that you were the premier company operating there, and our experience confirmed this to be true. Your customer service standard is extraordinarily high."


Kurt Lampe    2010    Nomadic Encounters Incl. Naadam
 

"A superb extensive holiday adventure. It was a great way to see some of this unique country. The guides on the trip were excellent and what we saw and learnt about Mongolia was all fascinating."


Richard & Roz Plume    2010    Great Mongolian Balloon Adventure
 

"A truly memorable trip. What a country! Far more beautiful and dramatic than I had expected. The guides were excellent all round. They were attentive to our needs, ever helpful without being over-bearing, and the drivers also did a demanding job very well."


Stephanie Giles    2010    Great Mongolian Balloon Adventure
 

"It met all our expectations and some. We can't speak highly enough about Esee. He was brilliant and Nyama was also a great driver and very dedicated to making our holiday memorable."


Chris and Anne Warren    2010    Gobi & Altai
 

"It was the most marvellous trip and we enjoyed every minute. The eagle festival was the great highlight. Esee and Nyama were absolutely marvellous, great company, forever helpful and just really nice guys. We really enjoyed their company."


Michael & Merrilee Batten    2010    Gobi & Altai
 

"It was very special to be a guest in camel herder's ger, and our guide Esee took us to his home to meet his family. Being allowed such personal enconters made our trip even more extraordinary."


Karen & Bob Carnahan    2010    North & South
 

"We felt the team were very passionate about Mongolia. Really enjoyed meeting with Olly and Goyo before the start of the trip. When organising a holiday, you did feel that the team actually cared, which is not the case with many companies."


Adele & Kevin Ruddock    2010    Mongolian Epic
 

"A very rounded taste of what Bhutan has to offer. Not just a holiday, but a life experience...Travel hungry guests looking for a unique experience will not be disappointed."


Mick and Annie Clapham    2010    Savouring Bhutan - Autumnal Journey
 

"I can't believe we were lucky enough to experience such rugged, out of the way stunning landscapes, and am very proud to have been part of the longest expedition ever undertaken by outsiders in the East Taiga. No roads, no telegraph poles, no telephones, only teepees, campfires, reindeer, horses, moss, swamp, and the most hospitable people I have ever met and scenery to match"


John and Ella Plummer    2010    Land of the Reindeer
 

"Panoramic really do go out of their way to make us feel like valued guests and the trip is tailored to us - which is why we travelled with you again."


Doug and Annie Howes    2010    Bhutanese Epic
 

"Bhutan was an oasis of peace and calm that I enjoyed very much...You gave us an excellent itinerary. I could not fault it."


Anne de Launay Matthews    2010    Savouring Bhutan
 

"The planning of the trips and the timing of them was beautifully and harmoniously woven into an ever-changing panorama of colours, tastes and smells...the stay in Bhutan was everything I could have wanted."


Ingrid Coltart    2010    Savouring Bhutan - Spring Journey
 

"The trip was perfectly organised with knowledge of culture and habits. It was not about making money on tourists but really giving us the opportunity to meet other cultures in a relaxed way. Respect for the local people was always the leading approach. My compliments!"


Henri Vos    2010    Merak Sakteng Explorer
 

"An amazing experience which exceeded my expectations. The scenery and sights are one thing, but the culture and people are the real highlight. It was a very well organised tour encompassing both aspects."


Peter Long    2010    Savouring Bhutan - Autumnal Journey
 

"Lovely country with unspoilt scenery, interesting culture and friendly people"


James Palmer-Tomkinson    2009    Tailormade Western Highlights
 

"The people are wonderful, the scenery is stunning, the wildlife and habitats are magnificent and the culture, history and politics of the country are fascinating"


Mike Rands    2009    Bhutan in Autumn - Tailormade
 

"Genghis Khan died almost 800 years ago, yet he lives on as conqueror, as father of his nation and as founder of the world’s greatest land empire. I am thrilled to have this opportunity to act as a guide to sites connected with Genghis. These places bring him to life, and act as keys to explain how he became one of history’s greatest leaders. I look forward to sharing them with you."


John Man    2009    In Search of Genghis Khan
 

"A perfectly paced itinerary. The organisation and attention to detail was faultless from start to finish. Springtime was a magical time to be in Bhutan - an abundance of flowers, lush countryside, clement weather, and none of the tourists that you get around festival time. Wonderful!"


Sara Reston    2009    Spring Journey, Bhutan
 

"Fascinating cultural sites, beautiful scenery, superb riding conditions - and a wonderful team of guide, driver/cook, horse-master. The images of the Orkhon Valley will stay with me, as will memories of the families who welcomed us. I felt like a person not a package, and that I was being welcomed to Mongolia and invited to appreciate it people, history & beauty."


Jenny Bacon    2009    Arkhangai Ride
 

"I shall be eternally grateful to Panoramic Journeys for giving me two wonderful trips to Mongolia so far. Everything was perfectly organised and my highlights were the Eagle Festival; Agii, the best of all guides; holding an eagle; meeting the Shamans; sleeping in Gers;  the stars; and most of all the people".


Eve Stace    2009    Eagle Festival Close-Up
 

"A fantastic holiday with beautiful and varied scenery in totally unspoilt landscapes. Transport was very comfortable, the drivers were absolutely wonderful, their skills were brilliant and they had lovely personalities. Our lovely picnics in such remote areas was another highlight, they were great."


Rose Talmage    2009    Heartand & Gobi
 

"Breathtaking! We want to go back. Very well organised - singing dunes, so many riding at the refugio, the camel riding. The guest gers were all lovely and the food was fresh & plentiful. We loved the way Esee produced unexpected meals eg. proper coffee at the Refugio and a jar of caviar appeared on the table."


Kat & Nick Syfret    2009    Heartland & Gobi
 

"It has to be one of those very rare occurences in life when reality by far surpasses all expectations! What comes across so evidently through your careful planning is not only your great knowledge of Mongolia, but especially the love and respect you all have for this beautiful country, and this is such an important ethical issue"


Nicole Mora-Evans    2009    Heartland & Gobi
 

"This was by far the best trip I have ever done! I had an absolute blast, and it was totally perfect for me. Mongolia is an amazing place. Two days at the refugio was definitely a highlight. I am so glad to have found Panoramic Journeys, you truly have a unique service"


Anna Maalsen    2009    Nomadic Encounters Summer
 

"Very well run tour. This is a real praise as we are sometimes quite critical but we honestly could not find any earth shattering faults. Personal highlights must be the pony race at the festival, marmot BBQ and in fact almost everything!"


Allen & Frances Gray    2009    Gobi & Heartland Incl. Naadam
 

"Nothing could have been more ideal than to have John as leader and expert explicator of the expedition. His enthusiam, energy, deep knowledge, curiosity and engaging personality were instrumental in giving the journey that special touch"


Ravi Bhoothalingam    2009    In Search of Genghis Khan
 

"Fantastic, incredible and privileged experience to have such an intimate insight into Mongolian life and to meet so many people, not just our planned visit but the impromptu stops at gers. We loved Nyama and Osohoo’s attentiveness & their real desire to make each day special."


Maaike Carter    2008    Mongolian Odyssey
 

"We had a simply fantastic time in China and Mongolia and our holiday exceeded all expectations. We will be back. Esee was a star - speaks such good English and so attentive on an individual basis - always thinking 'how can I make this better?'"


Roger Evans    2008    Land of the Reindeer, Mongolia
 

"The first morning as we rode out , the air was filled with the smell of larch and the sweet voices of the Mongolian guides sang to the beauty of their country. You put together a great and well-organised trip for us."


Louise Rusby     2008    Khentii Ride
 

"A lovely, friendly, helpful team who made my dream come true."


Melanie Simpson    2008    Mongolian Odyssey
 

"We all had a wonderful holiday...frankly it was my best holiday ever and I have wonderful memories."


Karine Dummer    2008    Bhutan
 

"The whole trip was truly memorable - from dog sledding across the ice to the cosy warmth of our ger. Everyone was so hospitable and the countryside was breathtaking. The blue winter skies were crisp and flawless - as was the great organisation of the close-knit team at Panoramic Journeys."


David Dore-Boize    2008    Call of the Wild - Ice Festival & Dog Sledding, Mongolia
 

"We enjoyed meeting Mongolian people & the camel trek over the Khongoryn Els was one of many highlights."


Bodil & Per Svendsen     2008    Gobi Explorer, Mongolia
 

"Incredibly busy, demanding, and lots of fun, amazing scenery – everywhere. We appreciated the flexibility – so we could be part of choosing camping and getting us into the Chinggis statue before it was opened. Good planning & organisation."


Tony & Kim Richardson    2008    Altai Explorer, Mongolia
 

"It is difficult to pick out just one aspect. The mind-blowing wilderness of the horse trek in Mongolia combined with the cultural time spent in Beijing was just fantastic."


Patsy Prince & Adam Lester    2008    Altai Explorer, Mongolia
 

"The whole trip was incredible, lived up to all our expectations and was probably the best holiday/adventure of our lives. We had a total ball and the other people in our group were brilliant."


Chris & Alicia Hackshall    2008    Altai Explorer, Mongolia
 

"We loved our time in the Gobi - more vast and beautiful that we had imagined, and so varied as well. From stretches of rocky ground dotted with spring flowers to the incredible Flaming Cliffs; from those beautiful sand dunes to icy Eagle Gorge."


Marissa Wesely    2008    Gobi Explorer Summer
 

"The trip was well organised and Bhutan was stunning. We were very well looked after throughout."


Fiona Fearn    2008    Autumnal Journey, Bhutan
 

"Your organisation, your staff, the country, the people just great! Everyone from the UK office to the horseman in Mongolia, could not have done more for us. - Thank you all!"


Chris Drayson    2008    Land of the Reindeer, Mongolia
 

"A wonderful, wonderful experience! Not at all prepared for the vastness of the country. The Naadam Festival will remain forever in our memories."


Dawn, Ian & Rosie Johnson    2008    Odyssey Incl. Naadam
 

"I can’t think of anywhere that would be as stunningly beautiful as Bhutan. The trip was special. Well done! ... PJ’s personal approach and attention to detail were excellent."


Louise Fournier    2008    Bhutan
 

"It was really well organised, our guide was great, very knowledgeable and great company. It was fun, comfortable, beautiful and the group gelled well...I think a small group is often more successful. I am full of praise and if any of my friends decide to go l will definitely give them your address. l was really pleased with everything."


Karine Dummer     2008    
 

"This was a most fantastic holiday. I can't stop talking about it to everyone...We were so fortunate to have - what we found to be - the best guide and driver in Bhutan".


Annie Curtis    2008    Bhutan 2008
 

"A wonderful trip, I'm thrilled to have done it. I've completely fallen for Mongolia, the Mongolian people and most of all the Kazakhs. My highlight was 85 mounted Eagle hunters galloping by, eagles held high. Something exciting was arranged for every day"


Eve Stace    2008    Eagle Festival Close-Up
 

“..to reach the real Bhutan, beautiful smiling faces of charming people, etched against breathtaking scenery of this extraordinary country,  was a tribute to the philosophy of Panoramic Journeys”


Andrew McGregor    2007    Eastern Festivals, Bhutan
 

"An incredible journey. The scenery was far more magnificent than I ever expected, and we truly enjoyed every contact with native Mongolians. Viewing the Naadam festival in the small town of Tariat was the perfect choice, allowing us to communicate in several ways with local residents. Our stay at Khovsgol was a perfect way to finish our itinerary of the countryside. The beautiful lake, cloud-accented sky, mirror-like lagoon, and millions of wild flowers added a level of beauty to our stay that was most overwhelming."


Anita Brace & Friends    2007    Mongolian Epic Incl. Naadam
