Sandra was a wonderful tour guide! Even though it was raining during the entire tour, she managed to show some of the highlights with good narratives.

In spite of the nonstop rain, we showed up for the Yangon Walking Tour (Culture), much to the relief of our cute, charming, and well-read guide Myo Gyi. As a student, Myogi studied English Literature, and now teaches basic English, and does tour guiding part time. We picked him because previous reviewers mentioned that he talks about politics and history, which we enjoy. We were not disappointed. We started at The Independence Monument at Maha Bandula Park, beginning with the stories of the 1988 Democracy Uprising and the 2007 Saffron Revolution, as he pointed to where they marched for freedom. I got emotional straightaway. We visited many colonial era buildings, some repurposed as government offices, some left in ruins, but still occupied, each of them filled with Myogi's charm and humour. During the tour he made a stop by a small book vendor by the roadside who sells political books as if it was street food and recommended us "from the land of green ghosts" by student revolutionary Pascal Khoo Thwe. We ended the tour by wishing him all the best for the democratic movement in Myanmar, and that as neighbour we may stand together in hope.I was very lucky to be the only tourist for this tour as I had a great experience with the guide, Myo Gyi.

I was very lucky to be the only tourist for this tour as I had a great experience with the guide, Myo Gyi. He showed me around the city and shared so much details about the history, people and politics of Yangon. The tour is interesting as he also asked me questions where I have to use my own limited knowledge to handle these questions. I would definitely highly recommend this tour!Myo gyi was a great guide who explained a bit of colonial history and also showed me some aspects of the local culture. If you come to Yangon try to do this walking tour-it's a great way to start your trip.
