What to expect
Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Yangon Region, Yangon Region
Burmese craftsmanship has long been recognized as one of the world’s great aesthetic traditions. Religious and secular objects, combined with a rich tradition of folk art, makes shopping at the hard-to-find exclusive antiques shops our tours patronize, as well as at more accessible local markets, a true museum tour experience. Authentic pieces are typically priced far below world norms, from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars, reflecting decades removed from the international antiques market.
Intricately-carved teak furniture, traditional ceramics and woodwork, exquisite heirloom gemstone rings, silver engraved musical instruments and prestige household treasures, the list is virtually endless. Whether you are a sophisticated collector/dealer, or just interested in the traditions of a rich culture, this tour is sure to satisfy. All establishments we patronize have long experience in shipping worldwide.
Duration: 6 hours

As an avid collector of antiques, I can’t say enough positive things about this tour, and the wondrous selection of vintage and antique treasures we were exposed to. Museum-quality, exhibiting extraordinary craftmanship, the material was offered at ridiculously low prices. Needless to say, we stocked up on a variety of items which the proprietors of the various shops shipped to our home at reasonable cost. Can’t recommend this tour highly enough.Yangonman
