Win Bo Bo, the owner of Ayuda Myanmar Travel, arranged a superb 17-day bicycle trip through central Myanmar, including Mandalay, Bagan, Kalaw, and Inle Lake. The route, facilities, guiding and transportation could not have been better in this developing country. The people are friendly, the cultural sights amazing, and the experience absolutely wonderful. We have recommended Ayuda Myanmar Travel to our friends and encourage anyone traveling to Myanmar to go with this company.

This is trip which will be remembered for a long time. My husband and I have just completed a 14 day cycle ride with Win. Starting in Mandalay via Bagan, Mount Popa, Kalaw, Lake Inle and then to Hsipaw and Maymo. We saw so much, ate delicious food and experienced Myanmar in quite a different way.
This was meticulously organised by Ayuda travel with nothing left to chance. Win was our guide throughout and Paw the excellent and knowledgeable driver of the van which followed us with cold drinks and snacks! There were several challenging days, some of which we were warned about some not! The bicycles were extremely well maintained and every morning they had been cleaned like new. Also good helmets were provided.
I would recommend very highly this tour and one day I would love to come back and explore more of Myanmar by bicycle with Win and Paw.

We have just completed a fantastic 14 day bike ride starting in Mandalay, going down to Bagan, across to Mount Popa, then over to Inle lake and back, with lots in between.It was me and my wife, and the whole way we had Win on his bike with us and Pau in the van behind us, so there was never any stress about where to go or what to do if anything went wrong. This was proper cycling, with between 50 and 90 km most days, early morning starts and then afternoons resting or sightseeing.It was the most wonderful way to see the true Myanmar, bellowing out " mingalabar" (the traditional greeting) to reply to the people en route.

Mr Win and his truly wonderful team of Mr Brave, Mr Aw and Mr Po Po gave us the most fantastic cycle trip ever. The routes took us way off the beaten track and we saw the true spirit of Myanmar - wonderfully kind and welcoming villagers all going about their daily work in the fields and family workshops. We were welcomed everywhere we went by the local communities with amazing smiles and waves. The Ayuda team were truly professional in every way and their attention to detail was extraordinarily good - I haven't had such great service in any country for a long time. They looked after us and the bikes with enormous care and kindness, nothing was too much trouble for them - from scooping us up when we were tired (just a little bit hill!!), answering endless questions with knowledge and patience, finding kindergartens for us to deliver school books to, and taking us shopping (just ten minutes!) on a constant search for tonic! The biggest thank you ever to Win and his fabulous team for making this such a special trip for us.

RENTING BIKES IN MYANMAR DEC 2018
I have been doing cycle tours for nearly 30 years. Given how difficult and expensive airlines are now making it bring your own bike, I thought I would look into renting one on this trip. I contacted a couple of bike shops in Yangon and connected with Victor. He responded quickly and thoroughly to my upfront questions. We ended up renting Trek Marlin 6 bikes. We cycled from Yangon to Mandalay over three weeks. I can easily say that Victor made the complete experience effortless. He even came through for me, when my bottom bracket went. He couried a new bottom bracket and tools to my hotel the next day. The only thing he could have done better was to have some different tire options. We were using 2.2” knobbies for the sealed roads of Myanmar. With that said, the roads in Myanmar are not great and there were a number of times I am glad we had the big tires on. I would encourage any touring cyclist to consider renting bikes from Bo Bo Bike Shop on your cycling trip through Myanmar. They do have shops in both Yangon and Mandalay. The team in Mandalay even came to our hotel to pick up their bikes!

What a great holiday we had with Win BoBo and Associates on our personalised bicycle tour through Myanmar. It was a fantastic holiday, thanks Ayuda Myanmar Travel Agency - totally memorable in every way. The country, the people, the sights, the support, the accommodation and the food (with special thanks to Win who assisted us with ordering and always considerate of the language barrier for us!) Everything was impeccably coordinated. Totally recommend Ayuda Travel for authentic travel in Myanmar.
