We booked this as a tour for two and really enjoyed it. Meeting our guide Tet at the Independence Memorial allowed us to cross the river using the public ferry. I’m so glad we got to do this. Mixing with the crowds as we boarded, travels and got off the ferry is a good way to see local people going about their lives. The other side of the river is less developed and will remain like this until a new bridge is built. We were able to ride around the labyrinth of streets in the area. Many people live in small wooden shacks, however there seems to be a strong sense of community. The children were happy and friendly, calling out ‘hello’ and giving us ‘hi-fives’ as we rode past. My only complaint was that the bike as a little small for my 185cm hight. There was plenty of bottled water available and we made some interesting stops. This is not the tour you want if you are frail, or prefer to see things from an air conditioned coach.haeeunl2018

The true faces of the Myanmar can be met if you go for this unique tour, which you can explore a small village outside of Yangon and get a chance to observe how ordinary Burmanese live their daily life. I joined this tour on 26 Dec 2019, booked via Tripadvisor, and was led by a local certificated guide . We took a ferry from Yangon to reach the village and went for bike riding. During the bike riding, we stopped at a few stops such as a traditional market, a local coffee shop for tea break, and a souveinor shop. The village is humble and authentic ,not artifically sugarcoated for foreign tourists. It is far different from where I come from and live, giving me a lot of thoughts about the gap between developed countries and developing countries. The tour did show me how real Burmanese live their daily lifes outside of usual tourists scenes. (but I think some people at the mentioned spots are familiar with tourists already, they were very calm when serving us)When I saw traditional houses, schools, farming, markets, honestly I was thinking like, how can they live under such conditions? To me, the quality of life there seemed something really poor and miserable....however, to my surprise, local people I met during the bike riding looked happy. They waved at me and say hello! when I was passing by them. The smiling face of innocent kids comforted me, making me forget about small problems of life. As this is a private tour, you can expect 1 to 1 instruction and commentary provided by the tour guide so can use this as a chance to get to understand the country and people by asking questions to the guide! Be aware that the time duration for this tour is almost 3-hour, and takes place under the hot weather. If you are not confident or unsure if your physical conditions and steminar would be fit for 3-hour of bike riding, you'd better not try this tour.Harry B

Take a public ferry across river to car free roads (although lots of bikes and motorcycles) and cycle around flat rural lands. Great way to find local things and Htet was greatGunnveig N
