I took this tour on a Monday and learned after I was picked up that the markets are closed on Monday. This wasn’t a big deal to me but if you’re interested in shopping at the markets, be aware they’re closed on Mondays. My guide was Min Swe Oo and was great. I recommend this tour!

Booking process on Viator was smooth and the tour company emailed to confirm the tour guide with her mobile contact. On the day of the tour, our guide Karen WhatsApped me 10 minutes before tour to inform that she arrived with driver. Karen is a really fantastic guide and speaks fluent English! She is friendly, knowledgeable and took good care of us. She made sure we have shade from the hot sun (she provided foldable hats), provided wet towels to clean our feet and knew the best places to take photos! The half day itinerary was good and we visited the awe-inspiring Shwedagon Pagoda, saw the impressive reclining Buddha, learnt history about colonial-era buildings, and ended at the famous souvenir market, Bogyoke Aung San Market. The whole tour took around 5 hours. For the tea break (scheduled after the visit to the reclining Buddha), we were offered the chance to go for coffee or local tea house. I would definitely suggest to go for the local tea house for a truly local experience! The local milk tea is yummy and taste like bubble tea. The tea house also serves dim sum style dishes, and also items like dumpling and local chicken/noodle salad. These are all included as part of the tour price.Tour guide and driver were excellent. Mr Kyaw, tour guide's name, I believe, was extremely knowledgeable about culture and history. I highly recommend.
