General Information

TBB Tours have been riding and operating tours in Myanmar since the borders were first opened offering you great local knowledge and peace of mind to enjoy your trip with us. As with all emerging economies, Myanmar is on the edge of undergoing great change with India and China hungry for the abundant natural resources. This will irrevocably alter the country and not necessarily for the better or to the benefit of the great majority. Come with us on this magical tour and experience the “real” Myanmar before it’s too late.

This tour is “all inclusive” meaning that everything apart from evening meals and alcohol is supplied. Bikes, riding jacket & helmet, fuel, insurance, accommodation for 14 nights, breakfast, lunch and any admission fees.

This is a tour suitable for anyone with a reasonable amount of “big bike” experience and pillions are welcome. We don’t ride extremely fast and definitely not recklessly but you must be competent and comfortable with speeds averaging between 80 – 120kph.
