Guide #27201
First of all. . . thanks for checking in! I'm going to keep this short. My name is Ye Htun. You can call me " Htun(Tom)" I am very glad YOU know that nothing is better than exploring the country through the eyes of locals. That is why, I am here for you, your tour guide from Myanmar. Here is a quick version of my experience. * 7+ years in the tourism industry (In progress) * 2+ years in project management (In progress) * 2 years in the hospitality industry * * 2 years teaching English Looking back, I started out my career teaching English as I love sharing. Then, I moved into the hospitality industry as a receptionist. I got a chance to meet travelers and got opportunity exchange knowledge. And I quickly discovered that I love meeting people. I love the travel experiences that my much-loved home city of Yangon and its surrounds had to offer. I love the food and beers, adventure, and the outdoors. I craved a career that was exciting, something that gave me a chance to get out of bed every morning and do something I loved. And I finally was ready for a new challenge. Eventually, I jumped into the tours and activity industry. I became a nationally licensed tour guide, and outbound tour leader for foreign trips. I would love to observe the ways of life of tribes, cultures, and history. I am an honest, caring, friendly man, an energetic person, an enthusiastic young man, and of course a man of humor. I am proud to be a global citizen and love to explore everything. My hobbies are taking photos, telling stories, traveling, reading, exchanging knowledge, and meeting strangers. As a professional tour guide, I offer walking tours, trishaw tours, half & full-day tours, and multi-day tours(Yangon, Bagan, Mandalay, Inle, and so on) at reasonable prices based on my hometown Yangon. I definitely know everyone has a unique traveling style and particular interests, different ideas to create a fabulous trip. I really value the uniqueness of your own. That is why, I would be very happy to take the opportunity to create and design customized tours or tailor-made tours depending on your preferences, schedule, budgets, and requirements. My arranged tour programs are a simple suggestion and can be quite flexible to redesign and customize for you. I would also be very glad to take you to stunning places which are uncharted with the "wow" factor after you have enough highlighted sights of Myanmar. Also, my very highest aim is to deliver professional service, follow all guidelines of responsible tourism, and create unique adventure and culture tours to give unforgettable memories to my clients. That is why I am very much looking forward to welcoming you to one of my unique tours.

We spent a wonderful two full days in/around Yangon with our guide Tom (Ye). My favorite experiences were 1) Visiting Shwedagon Pagoda in the evening and watching families worship as the lights came on - a truly magical night! 2) Meeting pilgrims from Mandalay while visiting Shwemawdaw Pagoda in Bago. With Tom as an interpreter, I was able to have a conversation, laugh...

Mr Ye Htun is an excellent guide, his English is perfect, and his knowledge of Yangon and Myanmar sites and history are superb. Htun is a very nice courteous person, and we would have no hesitation in recommending him.

We came into Yangon Port for 2 1/2 days and Ye organised a tour including sightseeing in Yangon, flights to Bagan, a hot air balloon ride early morning and then visiting of many many temples and stupas in Bagan's Archeological Zone.

We enjoyed our tour. There was a mix up with pick up at the port. We did not understand that we needed transport to the port gate which is quite away from where we disembarked at the ship. This is quite important. Having lunch at The Strand was a nice respite from the heat. Many Thanks!

Thanks for taking your the time to share your thoughts and feedback! I am very happy to know that you enjoyed the tour with me though there was a mix up with pick up at the port. Although i gave a message to meet at the entrance gate of the port to you earlier, i should have suggested details of meeting point that you need to take a free shuttle from your ship to entrance...
