Yangon tours

Things to do in Yangon

If you have made the decision to travel to Myanmar, get ready for a warm welcome from its citizens; gentle, kind and humourous, the Burmese will help make your trip to this enchanting and troubled country the adventure of a lifetime. When you first arrive in Yangon, hire a private Myanmar guide to explain Burmese culture, politics and customs to you; it will enrich your trip enormously. Yangon, or Rangoon as it was once known, is the gateway to Myanmar for most travelers. You may want to begin your tour at the gleaming golden Shwedagon Paya, one of Yangon's most compelling attractions. Wandering around the warren of historic streets closer to the waterfront is a great way to learn about the city's colonial-era history. Further afield, visit the intriguing old cities of Amarapura, home to an ancient and famous teak bridge - over a kilometer long - and view the incredible stupas from Sagaing. Your guide will ensure your Yangon tour makes your time in Myanmar truly unforgettable.
