Overall Not a Bad Tour - The architecture and details of the White Temple were amazing with some good paintings on display.
The place has been well maintained and has an organized route for tourist to walk from one end to the other.
The blue temple looks old and not that well maintained… but still a great place for some good photography…
There isn’t really anything of interest at the Black House Museum, only the main house has some features and displays. The place is not being maintained well at all with clear signs of deterioration.
I was actually not impressed with the Karen Tribe tour as they are being placed and used as display for tourists…especially the children being dressed up with make up for people to take photographs… The two guys collecting entrance fee (without any record or receipt) were behaving more like gangster…

Not like the itinerary states - Was not like the itinerary at all! You spend 20 mins in a car park next to hot springs , 30 mins at the blue temple and 40 at the museum. NOT an hour for each. NO gardens for the hot springs. It’s not really enough time to see them. We booked not to see the long necks and they took us there anyway which wasted 1.5 hours that could have been spent seeing what we actually PAID for. After messaging the tour agency highlighting this , they seemed to think there was no issue with it .

Horrible experience - I received a confirmation email providing a 30 minutes range for pickup (7:20-7:50) alas asking us to be ready a few minutes before and also enable them an up to 30 minutes delay, practically meaning over an hour waiting gap. It would have been sensible to call 10 minutes before the pick up. I wrote them to ask for more specific pick up time but got no response. 15 minutes after the pickup range I wrote to verify their status and they finally responded the driver is on the way. When I called at 8:20 they said they’ll check, and then sent me a picture of a flat tire claiming the tour ‘might be canceled’. I called and they shared they were not sending another car. When I asked about the other passengers, they mentioned they already left and when I insisted about alternatives they said it’s too late for that. Refund was immediate. I would never contact them again.
