This trip is highly recommended. The tour guide ia very knowledgable about the history of the places we visit. The transportation we're using is Alphard , make this trip is so worth it to book. Reccommend for all the tourists who don't have much time to explore Yangon.
Peter was an excellent tour guide. He was very knowledgeable of Myanmar history and shared details clearly with us. Highly recommended tour if you have only a few hours to spare in Yangon.
The enthusiastic guide was fun, the tour was short but it was enough to get to the sights

Excellent tour! The tour guide, Win, was very helpful and took us to very iconic places of Yangon. Thanks, Klook!
A short getaway to Yangon and we wished to know more about the city and its culture. We started our first day with a half day Tradition and Culture tour. Much thankful to Myo and the driver who took us around the city and the Pagoda. Myo was very informative and knowledgeable. We do not know much about Buddhism and Myo had opened our eyes to the Pagoda. The Pagoda are very attractive and are well chosen for this tour. A memorable tour and we liked it very much
The guide is very nice and experienced. She offered to send us back to hotel even it is not included in the itinerary.
We enjoyed the local city tour. Our guide win was professional and provided us with insightful facts of the country. The local tea house was an interesting experience.
