For everyone who is looking for a driver in Myanmar (based in Yangon), this is your best deal:
We can%26#39;t compare actually, but Rico was definitely one of the best drivers we could have chosen to travel around Myanmar. His English is perfect, and he speaks Spanish as well which was of no use to us, but some people might like it. He also works as a tour guide, so he knows how to guide as well. He knows good hostels for every budget and the best cheap restaurants throughout the country.
His trustworthy Toyota Corona didn%26#39;t break down during 2 weeks on the road, that means something! Rico loves CCR, so he won%26#39;t bother you with bad music... and from now on, there%26#39;s Burmese Ironcross music in the car, because we forgot our cassette in his player.
We proposed our itinerary, but he helped us optimize it a bit, and he%26#39;s very flexible if we would like to make last minute changes. Even when asked to wait for us a few hours during a hike because we didn%26#39;t know when we would return (we even had to stay overnight in one of the villages because the hike took longer than expected), Rico reacts cheerfully and explains afterwards with a smile how he waited dutifully for us. Thanks Rico!
And the cost? $50 per day, all costs included. It appears to be a good rate in Myanmar.

Enjoy your travels!
