Amazing experience ! Very recommended ! The tour guides here is really really friendly and doing amazing job to introduce such a beautiful city like Mandalay !
The tour covers the main tourist attractions in Mandalay city and Mingun. The tour guide’s English is a bit hard to understand, but he is really nice. The overall trip is ok, we can even enjoy the sunset on the boat.

Excellent day trip! Our tour guide, Su, was wonderful and extremely knowledgeable about the history of the area and of Myanmar. Fantastic English, too. It was so good, we ended up asking Su to take us for another 2 day tours after this one! Thanks for a great trip!
Amazing day out around Mandalay and Mingun, our tour guide (Mr Hilbert) and the driver was super friendly. Our tour guide explained some of the history in Mandalay as well as in Mingun and also helped us to take some amazing photos as well! Highly recommended and can ask for the above tour guide as he also speaks perfect English! Great way to end our 5 day trip in Mandalay!

Great trip, enthusiastic tour guide, good shuttle
The guide was nice and helpful, so we had a good sightseeing. You just need to check and confirm everything on your itinerary. I missed the mandalay palace on the calendar.
we absolutely enjoyed the tour! The guide was knowledgable and enthusiastic in explaining the history of Myanmar and each location. She also gave us options to choose on lunch locations. She is super friendly, showed empathy and was more than willing to be our photographer. We highly recommend this tour. Driver was also very steady and patient.
