1.00No tour guide came. We waited at the meeting point for about an hour before they came, so we called the tour company, but couldn’t get through. We had them deal with it viator, but we never heard from them. I don't think you should go on Pegu Travels tours.

5.00It was an early start, 5:45 am, Kevin and the driver were early and waiting on me. We drove to the train station to take the ride to Bago. Train left on time, the train engine was struggling, it finally stopped 35 minutes outside of town. They announced they were going to change engines. We went and had a little breakfast and waited another 20 minutes. He asked me was I ok with taking a small bus, I said of course, part of the adventure! It was a fun ride, arrived at Bago. The rest of the day was great!
