Our guide was very informative and helpful
Best tour ever in my life. Fantastic guide and driver. Super nice V6 Toyota Van. Tour guide self trained in English and pretty much the single person we could have a discussion with during our 3 week stay in Burma. Great Guide. Tour exactly as described plus more. Also stopped when we saw something interesting on the road, like a wedding or parade. Highly recomended
We went with Soe, and enjoyed his input and the time. We found his choice of western restaurant for lunch pretty bland, but he made up for it with a visit at the end to a local tea house. The car and driver were very good. It's likely we could have done the trip for maybe half the price with a local taxi driver, but Soe's English was probably better.
