We only had 1 in Mandalay and squeezed everything in and he arranged perfectly. He was punctual and reliable, so we had a good day with him.

I had a fully packed day with Ko Soe Soe and his son and covered a lot of ground which was good as time in Mandalay was short. You might want to discuss beforehand what you'd like to see as things like the monks queuing for lunch is not something I'd have chosen to do if I'd known what it was - an uncomfortable spectacle, however where I ate lunch was a fab find and would have been undiscoverable with Mr Soe Soe. 

Mr Soe Soe is energetic and fun with a great amount of stories from his not insignificant time as a tour guide and hearing him share those was great.  Time at sites was sufficient, info shared was light at times. However taking into account the number of sites seen I'd be knackered trying to explain all the details too.
