        Learning the story of each pagoda
        Min was an excellent guide and gave us an extensive history of Bagan. He really knew his stuff, and we wish we had booked him for our second day in Bagan as well. His knowledge significantly boosted our own understanding of the pagodas and temples we visited. While it's nice to walk around and take in the architecture on your own, the experience is even better when you get to learn the stories behind each pagoda (and each one is a little different). Also, Min is incredibly kind and patient. We had not previously ridden e-bikes before, and he always took care of us when we had a couple minor wipeouts. Be mindful that if you haven't done e-bikes before, the sandy roads to reach some of the pagodas can be a bit treacherous. Next time we visit Bagan, we will definitely contact him again.

        Happy and efficient
        Best decision I made for a short Bagan trip. Good attitude and work ethics. Bagan is more beautiful because of his service. Thank you Min!

        highly recommend
        We had an amazing experience with Min in Bagan. He is well learned and talented tour guide who could answer all our questions, be it architecture, history, language or crafts. Min has great sense of humor, knows all the best photo spots, and is really good at taking photos too. He created custom itinerary for us, quickly learning our preferences and not hesitating to change direction and explore some sights well off the beaten path. We visited both large, well known temples, and smaller, hidden pagodas, at the best times without tourist crowds. He also took care of all the details like airport transfers, communications with hotel, finding great artwork and best places to eat. Our trip was easy, stress free and very memorable.

        Superb guiding service in Bagan
        We booked with Min for our driver and guide service whilst in Bagan, the guide Min assigned Ms.Mar Mar was a very knowledgeable and excellent tour guide. Ms.Mar Mar is also very good in getting prime spots for sunrise and sunset in Bagan. Highly recommend that u ask for Ms Mar Mar if you need a guide in Bagan.

        Min min the best guide
        Min min is one of the best guides. He is always friendly and polite. He is no risky driver with his tuk tuk, as we experienced the guys in Thailand. You can do daytrips, or just book half day trips as well. He knows some really beautiful places. Absolutely first choice! His telefonnumber 09-402774257

        Excellent Service As Bagan Guide
        Min is extremely good in planning customised program details. service is excellent especially in short notice requests non standard scenic phototaking locations in Bagan. Seamless service beyond Bagan for example trip to Mt Popa, transfer Inle Lake with interesting places of interest. Guide(s) has in depth knowledge of history, local customs and willing to share personal experiences. Food choices recommended fairly good.

        Eye for best views and deep knowledge of Bagan history
        Min was an excellent tour guide who was recommended to us by our friend from San Francisco. He is very friendly and knowledgeable! Depending on your interest, he can show you the most popular sights of Bagan, show you some off the beaten path stops, or a mix of both. We opted for the mix and had a great time. Also, he knows the best spots for breath taking views and takes really great photos! My instagram feed is very grateful haha. He goes out of the way to help his guests, whether it’s giving advice on places to eat or even finding other tour guides in other cities (he connected us to guides in Inle Lake and Mandalay—amazing!). Thanks for everything, Min!!!

        Excellent guide
        I'm not normally a "tour" kind of traveller but I booked with Min at the last minute - I'd already been in Bagan for 2 days (tramping around temples on an e-bike) & felt I wasn't getting the most out of my time here... I was right! I had already visited some of the temples Min brought me to... but he showed me so many things in these places that I had missed by myself. He explained the history of each place we visited, the legends behind each temple, some of the country's history and present & taught me so much about Buddhist beliefs (including patiently answering my many questions!). His English is excellent & he's a genuinely lovely person. My only regret is wasting my other two days without a guide as excellent as Min! Don't hesitate in booking him... it makes all the difference to what you get out of a place like Bagan. Kye zu bar!

        Best tour guide we had so far!!!
        We had a one day tour with Min in September 2017 and it was great. He started the day off with taking us to a "secret" temple from where we could oversee the area. There was noone else about, just us, which was a fantastic start to the tour. Throughout the day we stayed off the beaten track only really encountering a few more tourists at the sunset spot which was expected. Min was really accommodating the whole day, he kept checking if there were any special things we wanted to do and was happy to adjust the itinerary accordingly. He was very knowledgeable about all of the sites and we learned a lot about buddhism, burmese history and culture. His English is excellent and it was really easy just to have a chat with him and joke around (he's got a really good sense of humour). I wholeheartedly recommend him - we had many guides on our journey through south east asia and he was the best.5 stars and unforgettable memories.

        Fantastic tour with a great guide
        Min put together a fantastic tour at very short notice after our original guide suffered a bike injury and was kind enough to give our custom to Min. In a single day we visited 12 temple and pagoda, a local village, a good restaurant for lunch and enjoyed a sunset view that soon became a lightning show. What sets Min apart are that: he has a genuine passion and the deogh of knowledge he holds for his home town, it isn't just a job to him but something that he really enjoys; he makes the effort to keep you off of the tourist trail as much as possible preferring to take you to spectacular yet quiet places; he speaks excellent English and you can have a proper conversation; he has lived abroad and understands the traveller and listen to their needs; he doesn't push the non-related tourist traps (you know the sort of thing) that often just appear in a tour; and he knows how to make the tour fun. We enjoyed a glass of sugar cane juice and were able to chat which was great. I cannot recommend highly enough.

        TASTES OF BAGAN
        We arrived in Bagan and had no tour guide, so I looked up on Tripadvisor and found these great reviews about Min. We were very lucky to find out he was available. He was GREAT, we ended up hiring hi, for 3 days. He was AWESOME, flexible, patient, funny and he loves to take pictures...!!!! If you need a tour guide in Bagan, I would definetely recommend Min.

        Favourite day of our trip with Min!
        After reading the positive reviews on tripadvisor i was adamant this was the tour guide we should use whilst exploring beautiful bagan! We were in no way disappointed. Min arrived enthusiastically at our hotel at 8am to take us for a fun filled day e-biking around the thousands of temples, pagoda's and ruins. There were no questions he couldn't answer, and no photo he wouldn't stop to take / wait patiently as my travelling buddy stopped in awe at every building. We enjoyed our day so much, we recommend everyone spend atleast one day being enlightened by Min.

      We had the tour with Nyaw-Nyaw today and had the best time.
      We expected to see Old Bagan and to hear about some of the pagodas, but it was much more than that.
      It was an interesting and fascinating tour about the Buddhist culture and believes and the history of Bagan.
      Nyaw-Nyaw shared a lot of her great knowledge about Bagan, and also her personal experience as Buddhist in Myanmar which gave the tour a different angel.
      We finished the day with a beautiful sunset view.
      We very warmly recommend.

      Nway Nway is a very friendly person and an amazing tour guide. She treats her guests Fairly, friendly,and perfectly. She is keen to make the tour is organized. She is organized, and very punctual. The tour program was scheduled very well. We didn't miss anything during the tour program.

      We met her in the first time, and we felt we knew her for long time. She has explained the history of all the places very well and in detail. It was more interactive and fun time with her on the tour. She also helped us with to explore some good restaurants in Bagan (Black rose).

      Having Nway Nway as a guide made my experience in Bagan more memorable and thanks for all that :)

      We did the sunset tour with Nway Nway, it was perfect!! The tour enriched our knowledge and was very interesting.
      Nway Nway has very good English and sense of humor and it was so fun and lovely to be with her, she gave examples from her own life and shared about herself which made us understand better the life in Myanmar.
      We also rent Ebikes from her which were in a good quality and good price.
      If you are looking for an interesting tour and kind guide you should choose her!!
