Good excursion through Brunei - 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.

City Tour by Night - I have recently booked a few city tours by night as it gives a great photo opportunity under the lights and often more economical with time. This was no difference the 2 mosques were stunning ilumiated

Put this Tour number one on your list! Brunei is open for tourist business and this tour group will show you why! - Put this Tour number one on your list! Brunei is open for tourist business and this tour group will show you why! Bruneian Guide "Haji" had great pre-tour communication both with email and WhatsApp. His tour guide, Fendi, was amazingly, insightful, proud, and it showed! Fendi‘s motto should be, “come as customer, leave as friend!”

Awesome night tour - 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 - 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.
