Backyard Travel Releases New Tour: Eat, Learn, Love Yangon

Bangkok, Thailand

The three-day, two-night tour begins with guided tours of both the Shwedagon and Kyauktawgyi Pagodas before exploring some of the outstanding colonial-style buildings which reflect an era of British rule that altered the country in many ways.

The tailored trip also includes a day investigating the artistic soul of Yangon, a city whose flourishing scene has developed a unique voice. Travelers will enjoy visits to excellent art galleries and museums, depending on each individual traveler's preference, as well as intriguing antique shops selling captivating treasures and fascinating items from various points in the nation's history.

Travelers will also have the opportunity to undertake an epicurean adventure as they nibble their way through street markets, colorful vendors selling all kind of delights and sweet treats. Their expert Backyard Travel guide will provide exceptional local insight, leading them to lesser-known stalls and shops only locals know about.

"Yangon has so much to offer under its already rich surface," said Backyard Travel's General Manager Maeve Nolan. "This insider tour explores the architecture, cuisine and artistic soul of the former capital to hopefully allow travelers a more comprehensive experience to understand Yangon and friendly locals better."
