I was in Yangon on business so only had one free day to see anything of Yangon. My guide (a 23 year old student) was super informative and interesting. She talked me through the history of colonial Burma as we looked at the old buildings, we went on to visit to temples, caught the fascinating, food-laden circular train and then visited a local market. I would recommend this tour!

The guide had picked us up from the airport and we went to the Golden Rock. On the way we stopped to see the monks at the temple, and give them some elms.
Good speaking English, and knowledgeable guide made this trip very good and enjoyable.

We strongly recommend Kaung and his company. We were on cruise stopping 4 days in Yangon. We were met on the pier by our guide and driver. We toured the major sights in Yangon and then caught a 3pm flight to Bagan. We were met by our guide San, who was wonderful. We went to sunset and then returned to our hotel for a leisurely evening and swim.
The highlight of our trip was next day, our Balloon ride at sunrise. There are 4 companies and we highly recommend Balloons Over Bagan. We choose the premium service. The differences are better more experienced and passionate pilot, only 8 versus 16 people, and a if that was not enough a fully catered breakfast by Sharkey’s at our landing sight. The set up a camp like kitchen as if you were on Safari and we had cooked to order eggs, the famous Sharkey Charcuterie plate and cheese all served with champagne.
Our guide met us at the hotel and we embarked on fabulous tour starting with the market and getting our Longyis as well as lots of pictures. We toured the larger famous pagodas but then went off to see the smaller ones where no one was. Having a guide abd just two of us was fantastic.
Our return trip was easy the next morning to Yangon and our driver took us to the Strand Hotel for Lunch.
Everything was flawless, meticulously organized and our guides very special. Kaung customizes everything for you and the guides are very flexible to meet your needs.
Highly recommend this company. When we return, we will have Kaung organize our journey. The country is very special and thus company is the best.

We had such a fabulous time in Myanmar and cant wait to go back! We learned so much from our guides and enjoyed how kind, friendly and helpful everyone was. We were well taken care of. We probably overpaid a little bit but for our first time to this region it was all worth it to be helped throughout! YOU NEED TO GO HERE and this tour and tour company were great!

Dear Tiffany,
Thank you so much for taking your time on TripAdvisor Review and we appreciate your wonderful review about our team.
We are not sure that you did not over paid for the tour, since we put two extra meals in Bagan and Inle Lake, and one complimentary day tour in Yangon before your midnight flight. I hope our friendly guides took care perfectly everything on time.
Once again we are so happy for strong recommendation and excellent review.
Best Wishes.

My husband and I booked this trip as part of our honeymoon. It was a fantastic, diverse experience. We visited Yangon, Mandalay, Bagan and Inle Lake - all very different places with 4 local guides to take us around their respective areas.
The trip was extremely well organised. Some days were very early starts with a packed agenda, but the guides were very flexible and amended our itinerary to suit our requests.
The people of Myanmar, and especially our guides, were extremely kind and we would recommend this trip to anyone.

We booked a 5 day Bagan/Inle Lake tour with Good Life Myanmar Tours through Viator. The tour consisted of 3 flights (Yangon to Bagan, Bagan to Heho/Inle Lake, and Heho to Yangon), 8 airport transfers, 4 hotel stays, and 4+ full days of touring. Our departing flight from Yangon to Singapore was too early on Tour day 5 to mesh with any flights from Heho to Yangon but Good Life was flexible, arranging for a return flight to Yangon late on Day 4, airport transfers, and substituting a hotel in Yangon for the final night at Inle Lake at no additional cost. Good Life also arranged for an airport pickup and day tour of Yangon upon our initial arrival at a very reasonable price. All these changes were handled in an efficient, responsive, and friendly manner via email before our trip.
The entire tour was wonderful : the guides (San San Shwe in Yangon, Ei Ei Thet in Bagan, and Khun Myo Chit in Inle Lake) were exceptional, all airport deliveries and pickups were on time, the hotels were better than we expected(3-4 Star by US standards, clean, roomy, great AC and WiFi, very helpful and friendly staff)and the daily itineraries were fabulous running from before dawn on a couple days to past sunset on most days. All touring was by fairly roomy private sedans (Toyota Crown or similar) with driver and guide. One peculiar aspect of auto travel in Myanmar is that the autos are right hand drive (British style) while traffic drives on the right side of the roads (US style) – an interesting mix for someone who splits his time between British colonies and the US. The 3 tour flights were all on local airlines flying ATR-72 turboprops. The planes were clean, comfortable with excellent service. Flights ranged from 1 to 2 hours and each included a meal or snack and multiple beverage services.
Our timing (mid September) worked out well as we at the tail end of the rainy season. No crowds at any of the venues, hotels, etc. but we didn’t get a pass on the Yangon traffic which seems to be as congested as any major city. We experienced only a couple minor sprinkles of rain and the umbrellas provided by our guides were more than adequate. We didn’t have to take out any of our rain gear. Temperatures in Yangon and Bagan were hot - highs about 32C, 90F but not unbearable and our guides always seemed to have a cold bottle of water handy. The only downside was that the hot air balloons in Bagan don’t start operating until October. Not a problem for us but our guide said that many Bagan visitors come primarily for a balloon ride over the temples.
Tour Highlights
Yangon – An interesting mix of temples/pagodas, British colonial era buildings, and markets. Shwe, our guide arranged a nice multi-course local meal for that was excellent. This was also repeated at the other lunches. Each day our guide encouraged eating the local cuisine but was prepared to take us to a Western style restaurant. I highly recommend going the local route as we did for all 5 days and neither of us had any issues. The lunches were included in the tour – alcohol was extra but reasonably priced and the local Myanmar brand beer was quite good.
Bagan - Many temples both Buddhist and Hindi – we visited about 24 over the course of the 2 days in Bagan. Reminded me of theAngkor Wat area (many built in the 12th to 14th century) but most of the Bagan temples were constructed from adobe bricks while stone seemed to be most common construction material in the Angkor Archeological Park. Ei, our guide was tireless leading us though many temples, villages, and other sites as well as arranging for a local seamstress to alter some garments for my wife – all this while steering us around damage from the earthquake two weeks previous. We were able to access about 90% of the temples she had planned to visit Highlights included horse draw cart ride among the temples in the Archeological Park, sunrise and sunset from a couple of the taller temples, visiting a monastery and a local village. One word of caution on this part of the tour – all temples require you to remove your shoes and socks before entering. The ground can be rough so if you have tender feet it can be a challenge. Also, several of the temples require you to negotiate many steps which may be taxing to some especially in warm weather. However, I’m sure the guides will be happy to adjust the intensity of the tour to match their guest’s abilities.
Pindaya – Pretty drive though agricultural region, visit to Pindaya Caves, a natural cavern converted to a temple with hundreds of buddhas, interesting woodworking and paper making demonstrations, excellent lunch a lakeside restaurant.
Inle Lake - Tour of town and local winery. Winery has a very pretty hillside setting but their wines are a work in progress – I wouldn’t plan on taking any home but the view is worth more than the $4 tasting charge. Wine lovers don’t dispare we did have a very good bottle of local wine with our lunch in Pindaya – just proceed with caution. The highlight of our entire trip was probably the day long boat tour of Inle Lake. Khun made arrangements to start early so we wouldn’t miss anything he wanted to show us as we had to leave for the airport late afternoon. We rode in a long, narrow, native teak boat equipped with a Chinese diesel and scooted all or the lake visiting a fascinating variety of temples, monasteries, floating gardens, craft villages, and leg rowing fishermen.
If I haven’t lost you or put you to sleep, let me quickly summarize. I can’t remember the last time I’ve had a tour go this smoothly – especially one with 3 flights, 8 airport transfers, 4 hotel stays, and complications due to the recent Bagan earthquake. I won’t hesitate to recommend Good Life Myanmar to any friends or colleagues traveling to Myanmar. If you are thinking of going to Myanmar, I would encourage you to go as soon as you can before the rich local culture is diluted. It’s amazing how quickly the country is changing. In 6 years the country has gone from almost zero cell phones and internet to very widespread use of WiFi and smart phones. Most of the goods/crafts in shops are locally made but it won’t be long before imports start to displace them. KFC and Pizza Hut are already in Yangon – it won’t be long before McDonalds and Starbucks are in Bagan and Inle Lake.
