Itinerary
Burmese craftsmanship has long been recognized as one of the world’s great aesthetic traditions. Religious and secular objects, combined with a rich tradition of folk art, makes shopping at the hard-to-find exclusive antiques shops our tours patronize, as well as at more accessible local markets, a true museum tour experience. Authentic pieces are typically priced far below world norms, from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars, reflecting decades removed from the international antiques market. Intricately-carved teak furniture, traditional ceramics and woodwork, exquisite heirloom gemstone rings, silver engraved musical instruments and prestige household treasures, the list is virtually endless. Whether you are a sophisticated collector/dealer, or just interested in the traditions of a rich culture, this tour is sure to satisfy. All establishments we patronize have long experience in shipping worldwide.

I’m a lover of museums and antiques, especially Asian. Each establishment we visited offered a veritable museum experience. The artistry and wide variety amazing. Prices extremely reasonable. Highly recommend.
Glad you enjoyed the tour and found some pieces to take back home. Thank you.
My husband and I are passionate antique collectors and the diverse selection of antiques we saw was extremely impressive at low prices. Bought a number of high quality pieces and am totally satisfied. The dealers were knowledgable and lunch very good. Highly recommend.
It’s always gratifying to get positive feedback from experienced collectors like yourselves.
As an avid collector of antiques, I can’t say enough positive things about this tour, and the wondrous selection of vintage and antique treasures we were exposed to. Museum-quality, exhibiting extraordinary craftmanship, the material was offered at ridiculously low prices. Needless to say, we stocked up on a variety of items which the proprietors of the various shops shipped to our home at reasonable cost. Can’t recommend this tour highly enough.
Thank you for your positive feedback. As an obvious connoisseur, your critique is highly valued. We look forward to seeing you on a future trip.
