Had a great tour with May. She’s a local from Bandar . We went to the water village and took a boat to one of the local houses then continued to tour Bandar including some marvelous mosques and the royal palace. Strongly recommended.

Very good.

Awesome night tour

Anthony_M, Jul 2023

This tour was outstanding. Our guide Haji what is very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about all of the sites and really showed us the local flavor of the town at night. The capital was much even more beautiful at night than it was in the day and we highly recommend this tour to anyone that is going to visit Brunei.

A night time view and more

Douglas_S, May 2023

This was our second trip with Fendi as our guideWe would rate his involvement as more than five stars - punctual and full of information and answers to our enquiries about life in Brunei. As this was a golden wedding anniversary trip he wanted to pay for our meal at the food market stop which was a nice gesture. Although we had completed the full day tour it was well worth the expense as the sunset views were fantastic.

Fantastic time touring...

ALLAN_T, Jan 2023

Fantastic time touring the city at night. The mosques all lit up look amazing. My tour guide described each tour stop with great detail and insight. Boat ride through watercity section was fun. This is a tour I would highly recommend.

Good excursion through Brunei

Kevin_M, Jul 2026

They show you all the most important points of Bandar Seri Begawan in a car and take you on a boat ride through the village of Kampong Ayer. It is worth doing.
