Botahtaung Pagoda
The day starts at the Botahtuang Pagoda, a religious monument rumored to have been built 2,500 years ago and contain a hair of the Buddha. The stupa is highly revered in the Buddhist community and one of the city’s most important landmarks.
The Secretariat
For over 120 years, it has been the epicenter of countless changes in the political progression of Myanmar. It contains the Yangon Parliament House where Burma’s self-rule first began and the room where the assassination of General Aung San, the father of Modern Myanmar, and 7 cabinet members on 19th July 1947. After Independence in 1948, the new government of the Union of Burma used the complex to house various ministries and government departments. The Secretariat then became known as the “Minister’s Office.”

I'd originally booked the tour while the offices were closed but Htut Paing Soe urgently found a car and a guide within an hour. I was able to visit all of the main pagodas (Nga Htat Gyi, Chauk Htat Gyi, Shwedagon, Sule, and Botahtuang) as well as The Secretariat, Bogyoke Aung San Market, Kandawgyi Park, and Chaukhtatgyi Buddha. Everyone was very kind, generous, and they went above and beyond what was necessary in order to make sure I made the most of my short time in Yangon. I recommend Flymya 200%!

I had an absolutely amazing day with Karen! She did a fantastic job of explaining everything and showing me the city and culture! I definitely wouldn't have come to see some of these places on my own. Definitely recommend!

What an amazing day - really! Our guide was so knowledgable about all aspects of Yangon and Myanmar history so it was really refreshing to get an in depth understanding of the country, people and culture. The itinerary was also relatively flexible and we started off the day with breakfast. The driver and guide were really amazing and took such good care of me - one of the best day tours I've been on!
