Lwin was wonderfully accommodating guide. Her love and knowledge of her own country alongside her wish share this and accommodate the individual tourist’s interests, in what they wish to see or hear about, is a service that is hard to find nowadays. Because time was limited, Lwin kindly arranged to meet me off the bus in Mandalay and was in communication with the bus driver to make sure I was dropped off at the right place as he did not speak any English. I spent two half days with Lwin and her tuc tuc driver. She showed me the most beautiful palaces, monasteries, local crafts and different aspects of rural life. We were lucky to come across a novitiation ceremony. As a solo traveller I was reassured that if I needed, I knew Lwin was always there to help, for instance, she went out of her way to help arrange shared taxi rides for me when I wished to visit an old friend out of the city and made sure that I got to the airport in time to catch the plane. I highly recommend her and her tuc tuc services to anyone.
