A fascinating tour - Great introduction to the main sites and history of Yangon starting with a passionate introduction to the colonial buildings by my guide, Yan. He had a genuine love for the period and shared the history of many buildings you would probably just walk by.
Of course, we saw some classic sites including Karaweik Palace, Sule Pagoda and, one of the highlights of Yangon, Shwedagon Pagoda.
Yan was an excellent guide. Great stories, good English and a real care to ensure his customers get to have a great experience of Yangon.

A pleasant and intelligent young man of Myanmar - Superb tour of Yangoon. Mr. Yan is proud and knowledgeable of his country. We saw all aspects of Myanmar culture and history. We appreciated when he asked what food we wanted to eat. And he brought us into a Burmese restaurant. All good food, good people. The train experienced was adventurous. We highly recommend this safe tour!

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!
