My guide was Mr. Myo. He was fun and knowledgeable. We had a lot of conversation during the tour which made the tour more interesting. The weather was nice so the tour ran smoothly from the start to the end. Although, having mohinga as a breakfast was a quite heavy kind of breakfast for me. Mr. Myo also helped me to get back to my stay because my phone was broken so I could not access the city bus route. When I get back to Yangon I hope I can meet him again. Overall, it was a great experience!

I'm not too keen on walking tours as I'd rather explore things by myself. Having said that I am really glad I've done this one.
Hnin was a superstar, she kept providing comprehensive and extremely relevant information throughout the tour. It felt the right amount of time and the amount of information was not overwhelming.
