Great walking tour - We had a lovely tour with our guide Joseph. We enjoyed his passion for his city and gained a good understanding of central Yangon. It was very generous of Joseph to answer all our questions and we learned much more about Myanmar as well as Yangon. Definitely recommended even just to meet someone so nice as Mr.Joseph.

I highly recommend ! - Me and my husband participated to the walking tour organized by Joseph from Mr. Rangoon Travel in Yangon. It was a very rich, a very eye opening tour, filled with history, heritage buildings and many information about Yangon & also Myanmar. Joseph was very kind, friendly and I would like to say that he knows everything ! He patiently answered all of our questions on top of what he shared with us. We are very happy for having done this tour with him and also for having met him. I recommend it to everyone who is curious about the city, the country, the history, the street food, the traditions, etc...

Walking tour of Downtown - When you do the walking tour of Yangon be sure to ask for Thazin. Her passion for the city of Yangon and her delightful manner made my whole trip to Myanmar that much better.

Highly recommended! - With a group of 3 persons, we took a lovely tour with Joseph throughout Yangon. The tour gave a perfect insight in local life in Yangon and it was a good introduction to the city. We saw many different things on the way and had various ways of local transportation. Joseph was very dedicated to show us around. We had a good time and we really enjoyed the tour!
