This was an interesting quick tour of the downtown part of Yangon and market area. Unfortunately rather averagely guided and explained. Website said it would take 3 hours, but tour lasted about 2 and only covered the area around the market, not the older heritage buildings in "uptown" and Strand area. We had to request the guide to take us there; but info was rather patchy as he was out of his comfort zone. It was interesting and unexpensive, But keep your expectations low or book a more expensive tours and get a better experience. Still was value for money.
