Das wahre Yangon verstehen

I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone, as Ye Htun Kyaw (Tom) is very flexible on the go to adjust the tour to individual interests! We only had one day in Yangon with my friend and this was the perfect way to see and learn about all the main sights as well as the local and less touristy aspects of Yangon. The tour was really two-in-one. My friend and I booked a half day tour with Tom during which he took us around colonial buildings in Yangon and some of the main sights in the city including: Kandawgyi Lake, Chuakhtetgyi reclining buddha, and Shwedagon Pagoda. My favorite parts of the tour were the more local aspects of it such as when Tom took us to a local tea cafe where we tried Burmese tea and snacks, and also when we stopped by a card reader near the Shwedagon Pagoda which was not planned in the tour but Tom took me there because of my curiosity about the subject in an earlier conversation that day. He even translated for us. Thank you for a perfect tour, Tom!

We had the pleasure to have a half a day tour with Tom (Ye Htun Kyaw), our incredibly prepared and kind guide. He walked us around the main colonialist buildings and explained the history and facts about Myanmar. After that, we had a cozy stop at a traditional tea house where we tasted local tea and food (super delicious) and then we moved to Kandawgyi Lake and the reclining Buddha. There, he told us about Buddhism and he answered all of our questions. Finally, the beautiful Shwedagon Pagoda for sunset. Tom accompanied us to a card reader there and he translated for us, and then he explained more about Burma traditions and customs at the temple. Thank you again Tom! And see you soon!

Ye and I went to Dalla Township to explore lives of local peoples. We enjoyed our simple breakfast at a teashop. We took a boat ride to reach on small village on the other side of Yangon, Lives are very simple and humble, so lovely. We also did explored one hidden attraction, the toll gate of the 19th Century where taxes used to be collect to the passing boat to Twante Canal. We also got chance to meet with one of local families and learn their lives. Memorable trip.
