Hi! Mingalarbar I am Htay and I was born and grew up in Rakhine state which is the western part of Myanmar . But, I moved to Yangon for attending the university. AS a licensed tour guide in Myanmar (also known as Burma), I started my guiding career in 2012 with many years of experience in guiding as a local guide and a throughout guide. Focused on safety and happiness of our passengers, I value for your money holidays. I hope you will get unforgettable tour experience using my services. Studying Psychology and International Relations in the universities, I can explain about the subjects relating to social, economic and political affairs in Myanmar. And I am writing for the articles for the English newspaper as a freelance journalist, so the knowledge I will share is authentic and correct. The politics in Myanmar is very complicated in terms of the history. You will enjoy my explanation of the history and the political and social affairs of Myanmar. And I can show you untouched places of Yangon besides the common attractions in Yangon in terms of my experience and my passion. Burmese people are beautiful due to the ethnic and cultural diversity. Burmese represent eight ethnic groups who live in Burma such as Kachin, Kaya, Kayin, Chin, Mon, Myanmar, Rakhine and Shan. Geographically, the landscapes of Myanmar is different from place to place. It adds the beauty of Myanmar. Yangon is one of the best places in visiting Myanmar and it is suitable for walking tour of the downtown areas and it attracts tourists due to a beautiful Shwedagon pagoda, beautiful colonial buildings and the charming lakes and parks. I am a licensed tour guide in Myanmar. And I finished the first aid training.I graduated from the Universities with a degree in Psychology and a degree in International Relations. I am not a driver. I will accompany you as a guide with my driver.

Myanmar also known as Burma was once one of the richest countries in Asia. And Myanmar has potential to economic development of the country again located in the crossroad of Asia with the right moment of social, economic and political reforms. Located between India and China, Burma was once a British colony with diversity of culture and traditions. Once upon a time, Yangon was regarded as the princess of Asia because of beautiful with many parks and lakes. Walking downtown area of Yangon is interesting seeing old colonial British architecture buildings with parks and lakes. Burmese are friendly people and they were well-known people in the British times. Besides Buddhism, some people believe in the spirit to give them good luck and prosperity. If you are interested in culture, history, Buddhism and politics, you should book this tour.
Htay provided us (2 travellers) with the most informative, full tour. He left no stone unturned in Yangon. We would highly recommend him as your guide. His driver was also the most patient, gentle driver too. Excellent day Thank you Htay
Htay was a very pleasent and good guide...he knows a lot of yangon history...
Had a great tour of Yangon with Htay yesterday. Having a separate driver adds to the experience and increases the amount of time available for sight-seeing. They picked us up and dropped us off from the Port which is a much appreciated convenience. Saw all of the usual attractions including the historic buildings, reclining Buddha, the lake etc. Enjoyed a lovely traditional Myanmar lunch as well as a great morning tea at the Strand Hotel. No hesitation in commending Htay and his services to you.
Htay was fabulous! We enjoyed every minute - he was thorogh and new his stuff. He was good about answering questions, his driver was great and the car was perfect. We couldn't have been more pleased. Thank you, Htay!!!
Very good and knowledgeable. At times English was hard to understand. Bit of over emphasis on Buddha and temples. Pleasant and amenable to changes in schedule. Put in a long, full day.
Htay Win was a good guide and knowledgeable about Yangon and Buddhism. He speaks good English and was very polite.
