Brilliant, best day out !. Absolutely no point in trying to do it myself, when at this price ! :) - Booked only night before (at 10pm !) so little apprehensive about it happening. Not a problem, Aung Aung was stood by reception smiling with my name on a card. Great driver with info all the way to the jetty. Walked into the ticket office (don't forget your passport for ID ) where he arranged my ticket, I just paid for it. Then escorted to where to wait. Got on ferry to morning excursion which is on own. But easy and amazing !. Then back to Mandalay on the boat with the driver finding me straight away (great English speaking by the way !) and into the clean Air Con car (none of the clambering on busses for the same price). Then where did we go, where didn't we go. All the places I could think of and more !. Now worn out after a amazing long day..

Amarapura, Sagaing, Innwa Tour - Four of us had a wonderful day visiting these cities. Our driver was Joshua. He had excellent English, and was very informative about the places we visited. He was very friendly and able to answer any questions we had.

Exactly what we wanted to see - Our driver Ko Bala is excellent. Before starting the tour we decided together what places to visit, skipped a few attractions to have more time for others. He drove very well, brought us to the right spots. He adjusted the program to our pace, with plenty of time to appreciate the sights and take pictures. A recommendation: take enough Kyats with you for the extras.

Unforgettable - My driver was Ko Bala and he came everywhere with me, was also working as a guide telling me the history behind the pagodas and was doing it with a perfect english! He was very patient with me when I asked him to take pictures of me and also was looking after me in any situation! I’m glad I could spend this long day with him!

A great day out - Thank you to my driver Nim who made me enjoy my private tour today. I appreciated also that he took the time to be my photographer at times as well. Most of the places were interesting though some were crowded. It would be nice though not to have to pay separate entrance tickets everywhere as this is why a tour is booked (to avoid having to do these extra tasks).

Super fun experience - This was a wonderful day getting out of Mandalay and experiencing culture. Starting withe the best if the three stops. Innwa, the first capital 14th century, now dirt roads leading to temples and pagodas. Where flip flops became you're going to be going barefoot alot today. Then Sagging and it's 900 monasteries are a good look, then finally a walk around Amarapura with its old wood Bridge. This tour was not 20 hours as advertised but more like half that, which was great for me.
