Good to passing the checking points with locals

Thank you so much for the tour guide. He is very kind heart and helpful. He helped us pass many checking points on the way to Mon State. Without this tour, we would be very difficult to get to the golden rock. I am very happy to have them so that we can visit golden rock in a tour from Yangon with a day

excellent tour in March 2026

I had really good time in this tour. the guide and the driver were helpful and devoted to me. they told about myanmar much all over the tour, and helped me at military checkpoints. without them, I guess I coudn't go there safely.
