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.
Reviews
the driver was on time and was very polite. the only downside is they dont speak english but since we have google translate, it was a smooth trip
Convenient, the cute guide came to pick us up and take us to the hotel. Lunch is taken out by myself. Just a guide recommending the shop.
This was a long but interesting tour. Make sure to dress comfortably and bring your hats.
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 were very impressed with the attention to detail of Miss Dorothy and our driver. They were very helpful with all our requests which made the whole day enjoyable. Nothing was too much trouble and we had an exceptionally wonderful day. Please pass on our thanks to them Brenda & Patrick
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.
We have a great experience in this trip. The tour guide Su speaking well in english and explain to us the history on every statue. Interesting!! Get more closer to Myanmar's culture. She recommended a nice local food to us. We really enjoying the trip.
You have to pay 10,000 Kyats for the ticket to visit the temple, the guide pick up guests on time, enthusiastically
The tour guides and drivers are very professional. The tour guide introduced Jing Jing in great detail. Their service is also attentive and meticulous. The schedule of the day is well arranged and can also take care of the needs of the guests!
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.
