Summary:
On the walking tour it was just me and my boyfriend and thankfully it was so. Our guide knew a lot about the history of Myanmar and the various colonial buildings in the city center. It took us to visit local markets and some corners of Yangon. He answered all of our questions with immense enthusiasm. We have never seen anyone speak of their country with such appreciation. The tour was supposed to be from 2 am to 2:30 am and we ended up staying almost 4 am. We ended up going for tea with Tin Mar Wai chatting. Tin Mar Wai also gave us tips on various things to do and places to visit in Yangon. I highly recommend the tour with Tin Mar Wai.

Summary:
We had a wonderful tour through the old historical places in Yangon and lots of fun with our awesome tour guide Wai (i hope i write it in the right way ;) ). She was very helpful and pleasant and showed us lots of interesting places in the city with all the historical background. I would recommand it to everyone before you start your sightseeing trip on your own, because you understand the places way better with all the informations before. The tour was nearly 3 hours and we had a great conversation in a tea house where we can taste the real traditional tea. Wai was the best tour guide during our trip in Myanmar and we hope to see her again.
