GREAT HIGHLIGHT TOUR OF YANGON - This was first visit to Myanmar and Yen was my tourist guide for the day to show me the sites of Yangon and to tell me about its fascinating history. It was a great tour covering all of the major sites by car and walking. Yen made it exceptional. He was knowledgeable and professional and his enthusiasm for his country and this city was infectious. Both the tour and Yen, as guide, are highly recommended.
Without doubt the Shwedagon Pagoda is one of the most awe-inspiring places I have ever visited. The circular train was a lot of fun - doesn’t always run, pick a day when it does!

Great day in Yangon - I found this tour in tripadvisor and start contact them on Whatsapp. The response is quick and nice. Our guide, Mu, pick us at the airport. His knowledge about places are excellent. His English is easy to understand. The tour is customized to our need. We get to go inside more pagodas. All pagodas are unique and elegant. The tour upgrade us to Alphard, which is so comfortable. This tour is great if you are thinking about seeing Yangon in one day. I think I will be back to go to other places with them. Myanmar is beautiful with lots of historic places.
PS. Mu bring us to the famous market and let us walk around by ourself. He never try to sell us anything.

Excellent tour to see the highlights of Yangon - We had a wonderful day with Zin Bo Bo. He was extremely knowledgeable & gave us a great sense of the culture during our conversations. He was also very considerate, organising a wheel chair for my husband at the temples.
The local food at lunch was delicious. The highlight was of course the magnificent Shwedagon Pagoda.
Highly recommended!

Wonderful Yangon - It was a nice tour with a great guide Yan Nig. He picked me up on time and shared a lot of information about the places we visited like colonial buildings during the walking tour, circular train, different parks and Swhedagon Pagoda. I would definitely recommend this tour if you're short of time .

Great introduction to Yangon - This trip was outstanding. My guide, Ms San San Shwe was a font of knowledge, carefully planned the day to correspond with the heat and was happy to oblige with a side trip to ‘The Lady’s House’ to satisfy a bit of hero worship on my part. The circular railway was a great deal of fun also, but it was Ms Shwe’s knowledge, bubbly enthusiasm and obvious love of her country that won me over. If this is your first time in Myanmar, this is a must do tour. I was sooooo impressed.

Best way to see the most remarkable sights in Yangon in 1 Day - After Pickup in the Lobby we startet a Walking tour (Fresh Market, Townhall, Sule-Pagoda, Ferry-Pier etc). Than our driver took us to the Central-Station (I want to see) but there were trackworks and we should wait 60‘ for the next circilair-train! So we asked the guide to visit other sights in between! So we walked for 15‘ more to the Aung-San-Market (a sight on the itinerary, too) - nice shopping there and we were able to catch the ciculair-Train there, too! To get in local touch - Trainride was amazing! After we had Lunch we wanted to expand the itinerary, because the Tourguide wants us to offer a break for 2-3 hours in our Hotel, but were fit and wanted to see more - so we asked the guide and driver to bring us to the Kandawghy-Park (very nice)! After stopping in a shopping place, we went to the Chaukhtatgyi-Tempel (!!!) and after directly to the Swedagon-Pagoda (!!!!)! Should be visited after 4.30 pm (otherwise floor it‘s to hot walking outside), but we did it at 3 pm (walking on the floor was more than ok)! Thoroughly we are very powerful Sightseers and we walked fast and our visits at the sights should not to be very long! So it was a challenge for the guide, because he often wants to offer us breaks, what we don't wanted and need! So we were a challenge for the guide and perhaps it was not his day! But at the end - we recommending this tour very much!
