What kind of local tour guides are available?
The following types of tour guides exist: “Through-out guide”: accompanies you from Yangon throughout your journey by car or plane until your departure from Myanmar. The Through-out guide only follows you to the beach if specifically requested. For the Through-out guide, there are discounted airfares. “Station guides”. Meets you at the respective places within the country (e.g. Inle Lake, Mandalay or Bagan) at the airport and accompanies you only in this particular area. At the next location, you will meet another Station guide. Station guides know their area particularly well. If you travel by car to the next destination, the station guide will accompany you till you arrive at the next destination and then returns. In Bagan and Mandalay tour guides sometimes speak an accent which one needs to get used to. If you require a tour guide other than English speaking, it will be automatically a Through-out guide.
