Tour guide didn't not turn up. There was no communication. This tour seems defunct. And viator has to remove this.
Communication is key

Went on tour on sunday 1st march on our first day in Yangon. Tried lots of different foods and was a good orientation into what we could expect. especially loved the tea leaf salad there was so much food couldnt have eaten another thing. Would never have found all the places on our own. Not only did we learn about Yangon but also about Myanamar generally. No hesitation in recommending.
Excellent time! Personal tour

We had a delightful tour with Swan. We got to taste delicious street food that we wouldn't have known to try otherwise. The food we had on this tour was by far the best we ate during the 4 days we were in Yangon. So why only 4 stars? At the end of the tour, we ask for restaurant recommendations and Swan suggested Burma Bistro, which we tried the next day for our last meal in Myanmar. Unfortunately that place is a complete tourist trap with mostly bad food. We were suspicious that the other customers were all westerners, but decided to stay based on Swan's recommendation. Sadly that was a mistake.

We had a blast on the Street Food Tour with Swan. Swan was a wonderful guide who answered all of our questions and the food we tasted was delicious — seriously, we loved everything we ate. Highly recommend spending an evening on this tour. Thank you Swan for showing us the street food scene! You’re the best!
Loads to eat. Great experience

So, we love street food and trying different things. But, in Myanmar with the non-English style alphabet we were a bit worried about randomly ordering things (via the classic, point and nod technique). Thus we booked a street food tour. Our lovely guide, "Tray" was really confident and had great English. We visited 5 different food vendors including a classic Burmese tea shop, eating different things at each. Everything was fresh, hot and tasty. Definitely worth doing. Our guide was a great help with general info about Myanmar. I'd suggest the tour hands out translations of what we eat (Burmese into the appropriate language, for future reference).
Amazing

Swan was amazing with us. The entire tour she explained details about the city, the life of the people that live there and the history of the city including some food stories too. Walking with a local was an unforgettable experience. We were secure in what to eat and how to eat each food. I definitely recommend her!
