Your Best Guide and Photographer for The Day! - We managed to book a biking trip with Aung Zay one day before after reading so many good reviews about him. Aung Zay spoke good English and he carries his own sense of humour - when he explained to us the difference between the early and later styles of Buddha. He was not rushing the trip through as my friend and I are both novice cyclists and the sandy roads posed a tiny bit of challenge for us haha; he chose the easy roads for us but still passed by the amazing sites. Aung Zay did a great job explaining Buddhism and temples to us. His recommendation for lunch was top notch! It was local, authentic, and very yummy! I have tried some other places for local food during this trip but the mutton curry from that place is simply the best. Aung Zay is very passionate about photography, he’s very familiar with every nuanced techniques, my friend and I were really impressed. We would definitely recommend him to anyone who’s interested in riding a bike around old Bagan to see the great views, to learn something about Buddhism and Myanmar, and to have gorgeous photos taken.
