Overview
Exploring Yangon without a guide may mean skimming the city’s surface—missing out on its key places, way of life, and off-the-beaten-track neighborhoods. Delve deeper on a small-group tour that takes you on Yangon’s circular train line, with a guide to explain local life and culture. Pass through often-overlooked districts, stop to visit a local market, savor lunch at a Burmese restaurant, and disembark downtown to see St. Mary’s Cathedral.

Really enjoyed this since it affords one the opportunity to see people going about their daily lives. I got to talk to the locals on the train; they were all so friendly, as was pretty much anyone I came into contact with in Myanmar.

Had a great day travelling on the circle train with our guide Myo. Such an interesting experience seeing life on the train as it worked it's way around the city. The Fresh fruits market was the highlight of the trip. Would definitely recommend.

This was a great experience. Sat in a carriage with a load of nuns and locals who shared their oranges with me. This is a good way to see the outskirts of the city at very little cost - good and bad.
