What to expect

Bago (or Pegu) is the ancient capital of Burma known today as Myanmar. Just 80 kilometers to the northeast of Yangon, this beautiful city is settled right by the Bago River. The town is bathed in legends. According to one of them, Buddha himself had predicted that a Buddhist country would prosper in the place where Bago now stands. Your eleven hour tour of Bago will be rich in culture and history with your English speaking guide always ready to answer questions. Visit the Taukkyan War Cemetery and the Shwemawdaw Pagoga before stopping for lunch at your own expense. As the tour continues, you'll get to visit the Shwethalyaung Buddha, a 55 meter reclining Buddha to the west of the city, as well as the Kyaik Pun Pagoda and the extravagant Kanbawzathadi Palace, consisting of 76 apartments and halls and explore the city's royal past.

Nice experience, just that the car is pretty old so the ride can be bumpy. But it’s also because of the road itself. The guide and driver were very friendly and helpful. We got glimpses of the local friendliness throughout the journey. It’s a nice visit and we finished the trip quite early. It’s a pity that the palace was undergoing a renovation so cannot get the full picture. Overall nice experience even when my mum is on wheelchair she can also enjoy the experience.

The trip is good. The tour guide is knowledgeable and friendly, good photographer. The driver is careful, and the car is in very good condition. The only minus here is maybe that there are not too many interesting places to enjoy since we have experienced almost the same in other places in Myanmar before Bago.

We had a wonderful day trip to Bago/Myanmar with Klook. Firstoff Klook’s online booking was easy and the response was prompt. Our guide team (tour guide Sue and driver Myo) showed up punctually with a nice air-conditioned van, meeting us in the hotel lobby with a name sign. Sue was well informed and spoke good English and answered every possible question I had. Myo was friendly, polite and helpful and a safe driver managing the crazy traffic in and outside of Yangon. The sites were picked out well planned and in good order. We had time to visit a local market too, which is always very interesting. Sue knew places with nice bathrooms (important!) and took us to a good restaurant for lunch, for the food was delicious, safe to eat und very reasonably priced. All in all a great experience and a beautiful day. Thank you again to our guides Sue and Myo! I say this especially after i had read some negative reviews about Klook the night before and had gotten scared that something could go wrong. Quite the opposite! What a wonderful day we had!

Such a wonderful and magnificent adventure! Kuddos to Ms Rosie @ Yin Myo Aye (tour guide) and Mr Kyaw Myo Thu (driver) for an excellent & 5-star service! They are both professional, punctual, passionate, flexible, hospitable and most of all caring. We are pleased to experience safety and comfort throughout the trip. My 5 yo son truly enjoyed the tour!

Zin Bo was very knowledgeable and took time to explain not only the facts and figures of the tourist attractions which we visited, but also culture, religion and history in Myanmar. This is a good itinerary if you are looking to have a better understanding of the country and its rich history.

Our tour guide was very nice and attentive! She prepared a lot of wet wipes for us and went to a local store and got my a new pair of flip flops (because I broke my scandal from tripping) and bandage.
