5.00Thank you so much for the tour guide. He is very kind heart and helpful. He helped us pass many checking points on the way to Mon State. Without this tour, we would be very difficult to get to the golden rock. I am very happy to have them so that we can visit golden rock in a tour from Yangon with a day
excellent tour in March 2026
