Local travel agency en Birmanie
Gulliver Travels, your agency en Birmanie.
Our story
Gulliver Travels was born from a deep attachment to Burma, its unspoilt landscapes and the warmth of its people. Over the years, the agency has established itself as a reference for tailor-made travel, away from standard itineraries.
The adventure began in 2000 in Yangon, when Hervé and Thuzar founded an independent English-speaking Myanmar agency. For over twenty years, the team has developed an in-depth knowledge of the country — from the temples of Bagan to the banks of the Irrawaddy, from Shan villages to more remote regions — and built a solid network of trusted guides, drivers and hoteliers in a country still emerging to tourism.
Today, the team brings together Hervé and Thuzar, founders, as well as Frank, who arrived in Myanmar fifteen years ago and is passionate about off-the-beaten-path destinations, Renaud, based there since 2012 after exploring the country extensively, and Aung Zaw. Together, they design each itinerary with the same commitment: listen, understand, and adapt.
Here, we don't replicate programs. We craft journeys that reflect who you are.
Gulliver Travels is a member of the Nomadays collective. This partnership allows you to benefit from direct organization with a local team based in Yangon, while enjoying secure booking from France: payment in euros, fund protection, APST guarantee and compliance with French tourism law. You thus enjoy the best of both worlds: the proximity of a team on the ground and the strength of a protective legal framework.
Myanmar is a country that reveals itself slowly. I love taking travelers to places where travel takes on another dimension, through an unexpected encounter, a village, or a shared moment.
— Renaud, Travel Advisor

Yes, 7 days a week throughout your stay. You'll receive a local WhatsApp number + a dedicated emergency contact. Our on-site team can assist within hours in case of unexpected events (cancelled flight, illness, weather changes).
Your payments are 100% protected by the Professional Solidarity Association for Tourism. If a service provider (hotel, transport, etc.) or the agency fails, your funds are refunded. This is a mandatory guarantee for any French travel agency — Nomadays benefits from it across its entire network.
Yes, as much as possible. Changes made more than 30 days before departure are generally free of charge (excluding hotel rate differences). As your departure approaches, some bookings become less flexible — we always inform you of your options before confirmation.
