We met our guide at Yangon Central Railway Station on platform 6. I think he should have met us in front of the station as we had other people helping us to get to Platform 6. He seemed to speak English well, but we soon discovered that he spoke so fast and mumbled which made it very hard to understand or even want to. We then took the train for 5 stops to see a local market. Our guide just walked in front of us with very little explanation. It was a very busy market but we had seen many markets like this around Myanmar. Then he took us to a local restaurant and we were served some traditional food. We were happy to experience some of the food but he didn’t explain whether it was safe too, so we asked and he mumbled a yes. While we were at the restaurant our guide spent his time on his mobile. After this we took a bus back to downtown Yangon. This was a awful experience. We weren’t sitting together and nothing was explained about the journey, it was filthy and people were pushing, spitting etc. Also it took an hour as we were mainly sitting in traffic. Would not recommend this tour at all. We are experienced traveller’s and have had many local guides, caught many local buses, and eaten at many local restaurants around Asia and the world and have enjoyed all of them. Unfortunately we did not enjoy this one !! We

We booked this tour 2 weeks before the tour date and we were really looking forward to it. What a disappointment! We attempted to get it touch with our guide/the tour operator many times using the information available on our tickets and on trip advisor without success. We just wanted to reconfirm our tour, get in touch with our guide and ask a few questions in order to be prepared. We wrote several emails and tried to call many times but no one ever answered us. In good faith, we still showed up at the meeting point on the due date... we waited... and waited... no one ever showed up. The phone number isn’t being answered to and no one answers the email, we felt cheated. We are fortunate enough to be staying in a hotel with an amazing staff who are currently trying to help us getting our money back... to be continued...

It is the most amazing visit to Myanmar. A villager is very nice and welcoming to visit their home. She give their transitional clothes for remembrance memorials photos. Worth a visit.
