Our tour guide, Sue, she is so knowledgeable and know a lot of old buildings, architecture and history for her own city and really enjoy the trip with her. Time we want to explore more, she focus on our need, some spot we want to do quick view, she helped us to do the key point introduction. Finally, thanks to her that help us call the taxi and sent us to bus station. We had a great time and she even share us about our next place Bagan, where to eat and go. Thank you Sue!
