This tour exceeded our expectations. Our tour guide was simply wonderful. She spoke English quite well and she was very knowledgeable. She was very patient with us and very flexible, as required to suit our needs and preferences. She went beyond our itinerary to make sure we saw everything we were interested in seeing. She also had a great sense of humor.
Excellent Private Full Day Yangon City Tour.Very good tour and very nice tour guide. We were lucky that I and my wife on Private Full-Day Yangon City Tour, so we had a nice car, a driver and a tour guide for me and my wife only. Both were very kind and we enjoyed our private day tour in Yangon. They were flexible to swap some point of interest to another one that i preferred. I recommend it for the people that want to see many things within a day.
