Quickest and easiest option
The quickest and easiest option to tour Old Bagan (the temples of Bagan area) is to hire a taxi for the day. There is probably a monopoly of taxis in Bagan because the prices are very stable and very expensive. It was almost impossible to spend less than 30,000 kyat (about $ 30) in March 2009. I don't recommend this option because of the high prices. The quantity and quality of the information provided by the drivers is a bit higher than the horse carriage drivers, but it's not worth bragging about. The only way to get quality and quantity of information is to hire a tour guide.
