Wonderful experience and very worth it! - Great tour, great guide! We learned so much in the morning tour and it was perfect for our trip. There were a lot of nice touches that i feel were unique to this tour. The breakfast - awesome! We never could have found that ourselves. There were also fun extra parts such as buying fruit for the monks and giving it to them, getting fish food to feed the fish for good luck, etc. The best part was if we were curious about something (ie: the food markets) our guide took us there on our walk no problem! Totally off the "script" but an awesome addition and very kind that they altered it to our interests. Learned a ton and beautiful tour!

Great Tour! - My guide was Mr. Myo. He was fun and knowledgeable. We had a lot of conversation during the tour which made the tour more interesting. The weather was nice so the tour ran smoothly from the start to the end. Although, having mohinga as a breakfast was a quite heavy kind of breakfast for me. Mr. Myo also helped me to get back to my stay because my phone was broken so I could not access the city bus route. When I get back to Yangon I hope I can meet him again. Overall, it was a great experience!

Great Perspective on Living and Spirituality from a Super Tour/Guide - Fabulous morning tour which started with a delicious Burmese breakfast at a small local shop and an overview of life, history, spirituality, and the country from the inimitable Min Min (Mike) ! He is not only a fountain o flocal information and insight, but also a fantastic photographer who helped me capture local life in a way I did not expect.

I'm not too keen on walking tours as... - <p>I'm not too keen on walking tours as I'd rather explore things by myself. Having said that I am really glad I've done this one.<br/> Hnin was a superstar, she kept providing comprehensive and extremely relevant information throughout the tour. It felt the right amount of time and the amount of information was not overwhelming.</p>
