So fun!

I sort of expected this to be a big tourist trap, but it wasn't. Even though there were many people going through the complex, the guides all knew how to space out the groups. Everyone was so friendly and the guides were knowledgeable and interesting. And the meal was delicious with many great choices. It was a great time!

Great experience of the local culture and History

The problem with the tours in Kota Kinabalu is that they act like a transfer company. No communication until the day of the trip, no comments about the experience and just drop off and pickup. Use grab instead. I didnt like the service provided by the company but cultural villages are great. Must visit.

Great 1/2 day outing

Great driver /guide. Picked us up at cruise terminal. Enjoyed the drive and cultural village experience - we did not lose our heads (LOL). Driver also stopped so my wife could make a purchase on the way back to the ship.

Experience not to be missed

House of skulls was very factual. The food & rice wine tasting was much appreciated. Perhaps the dogs could be trained not to bark at visitors.
