This tour was really wonderful. We could had great experienced and enjoy day with private guide. The guide was very professional and kindly took us great restaurants for breakfast and lunch. He was great know about golden rock histories and cultures which we want to know, we could get great memory and learning in Myanmar. We highly recommend this tour for foreigner and really reasonable price as 1 day tour. Thank you again for great day trip with us.
A great trip with a superb guide, Thank you Ma Soe Sandar
Long, long day trip from Yangon. We hired a guide Kim who had many delightful stories along the way. She was the best! The driver was focused on the road and quiet. Given the hours spent in the vehicle I strongly recommend the Viator tour. It seems pricey, but it's a fair deal. Air conditioned van with big comfy seats, water, towels. All entrance fees, all restaurant charges one going and one coming home and again, a guide, Kim, who knows the ropes and knows the stories, the history, the legends etc. She was fantastic. Yes the ride up the mountain is a wild one! I really enjoyed it. Around sixty people jammed in the back of a truck other than the 2 of us, all Burmese on pilgrimage. I'd warn that half a dozen or so got motion sickness and all that comes with it. Just part of the experience. The Golden Rock itself is stunning, gravity defying, and it's scale is not done justice by photos. Views from the mountain are also beautiful. I'd do it again!
