Fabulous Private Shore Excursion from Cruise journey! - We came into the Yangon seaport for 2 ½ days, and contacted to local tour operator Wonderful Myanmar for a private tour at the last minutes. Within an hour, Mr. Htun, holiday architect, came back with specific questions to fit the itinerary with our requirements! After back and forth with him, we got our customized detailed itinerary. I especially like his careful attention in arranging the itinerary as we've a 75 year old Grandmother with us. Payment was quite easy and we just paid them on arrival. What a care-free! In the morning, we were warmly welcomed by the very nice young man who spoke perfect English. On the fairly long drive from the port to Yangon, our guide Tom gave us a very detailed history of Myanmar and the city of Yangon, and what we were likely to see and experience on our days with him. When we arrived in Yangon we were struck by the Colonial architecture, colorful markets as well as the many Temples in two days. We learned so much about cultures, histories, local life right through interesting commentary of Tom. One of my highlight was a beautiful and immense Shweedagon Pagoda Complex - so stunning and wonderful to see. One has to remove shoes in this and all other Buddhist Holy Sites, and it being a very hot day my grandmother especially was not coping very well with the heat. At the top of the stairs Tom very kindly obtained a wheel chair for her and wheeled her round this beautiful and special world wander place. I highly recommend 100% to Wonderful Myanmar to anyone and good value for money with personalized services. I cannot emphasize enough how perfect everything was organized, how friendly, knowledgeable and professional they all were. Thank you so much. Ps. We spent one night in downtown and it’s better to recharge ourselves especially for grandmother.
