What to expect
The rich cultural heritage in Bagan will fascinate travelers who are interested in immersing themselves in the history and culture of Myanmar. The tour begins with a pick up right from your hotel in Bagan where you will first be brought to explore six iconic monuments: Shwezigon Pagoda, Ananda Temple, Dhammayangyi Temple, Htilominlo Temple, Thatbyinnyu Temple and Shwesandaw Pagoda. In each temple you'll get to know more about the history and culture of Bagan. Stop by for lunch at your own expense, then visit the splendid Manuha Temple, one of the oldest temples of the area. Next stop on the tour is a trip to the Myazedi Pagoda, which dates back to the Mon style of 1059. With this is a glimpse into the Gubyaukgyi Temple in Myinkaba, once a residence of the king of Manuha. Before heading back to the hotel in the evening, make your last stop at the Hindu Nanpaya Temple, which is the first cave style pagoda in Bagan.
Reviews
Had a great full day out. Explored all the major and small temples round Bagan. Our tour guide Clint was very knowledgeable and informative about the history and religious facts. As it was just the 2 of us our guide created a bespoke and customised tour. We had to pay 25k Myanmar Kayt each for a pass to enter all religions monuments which is valid for 5 days so please be aware. Concluded the day by watching the sunset which was amazing.
Khant was our tour guide/photographer that day. He was very knowledgeable on his Bagan history and his English was so good. Showed us the best spots for photo ops and tips on how to enjoy Bagan more. Totally recommended!
Tour guide is so flexible in our schedule and was able to adjust to our needs, especially going to sites we prioritised.
The excursion is well organized, in a clean, comfortable car. The guide tried to tell as much as possible. It's exhausting to listen to in the heat. The guide recommended a good lunch spot, a lacquer workshop. There are fixed prices in the workshop, but a 10% discount can be obtained. The purchased lacquer mugs did not change after 1 year of active use.
Awesome immersive cultural experience, not to be missed! We had a very knowledgeable guide and thoughtful driver. Our guide is not pushy and able to alter itinerary according to our needs. Our guide takes good photos too as he knows all the good photo spots, he did his homework. We’re very glad to have both our dedicated guide and driver who made our Bagan experience unforgettable!! Definitely recommend this for a complete Bagan experience!! Don’t fret about drinking water as our driver sources and provides mineral water onboard!
It was comfortable and good for us to take various courses in a special vehicle. The guide was enthusiastic and brought us all the schedules we wanted to go. It was uncomfortable and the next day was harder and the village tour was interesting and good.
Good tour in Old Bagan. Good tour guide and driver. Explained local history in detailed. Visited different places in the old city.
Excellent day trip! Our guide Soe Soe (apologies if the spelling is wrong!) was fantastic. Very knowledgable, funny and excellent English. We had some great conversations! Flexible itinerary too to avoid crowds and according to what we had already seen in Bagan the day before. Due to sickness I had to change the day last minute. The company were quite understanding, but still charged me for that day then I had to pay 50% to do the trip for the following day. Nevertheless, I would absolutely recommend this tour.
Han is a very enthusiastic guide who loves his job. He was very eager to point out nice photo spots and take pictures for us. And if you want to change your itinerary, just tell him, he will be happy to accommodate your requests.
