Bandar Seri Begawan Half-Day Exploration

kampung Ayer was beautiful and it was such an experience. I was travelling with my 2 sons, mother & mother-in-law (both has slight difficulties with walking).. Faisal was helpful in handling them. He shared so much on Brunei and kept entertaining us. Faisal was such a character and I bet anyone would enjoy his tour!!

Itinerary: I really enjoyed this trip. Our guide, May, picked us up from the hotel early. During the trip, the guide provided very detailed explanations, and her photography skills were excellent.

The water village tour was amazing, It's been a great experience to visit the one of the house of the villages to know about the culture and taste the local food. We're lucky that our tour guide was May Tang again being with her is no such dull moment while we are in our tour.

Our guide, Mr Fendi, made the trip more memorable with all the information he shared. Tip: dont book on Fridays because museums are closed - we were not able to visit the gallery.

The guide was very patient and thorough in explaining the water village culture and history during the tour. It was a nice experience!

Our tour was smooth, informative, and full of great photo opportunities. The highlight of the trip was definitely our tour guide, May. She was friendly, engaging, and extremely knowledgeable about Brunei’s history and culture. May made sure everyone felt comfortable and even threw in a few fun facts and local stories that gave the tour a more personal touch. She had a great sense of humor too — which made the whole experience feel like an adventure with a local friend. If you’re visiting Brunei, don’t skip the Water Village tour — and if you can, request May as your guide. You’ll leave with a deeper appreciation for the country and maybe a few laughs along the way!

Overall, it was a great tour, and since it was on our very first day, it gave us a wonderful introduction to Brunei in general. Everything was very easy and smooth. The guide was both knowledgeable and friendly, and our 11-year-old child really enjoyed it as well.

Many thanks to our guide Mr.Lim. He was very warm hearted and hostile during the tour. He also brought us back to several extra spots on the way back to hotel.

First, to address the negative, the office staff is incompetent. The tour was supposed to start at 2:15 PM, but I received an email stating, "Meet at the hotel at 3:15 PM." I replied asking, "Is 3:15 PM really correct?" but received no response. Feeling something was amiss, I explored near the hotel without straying too far. Then, the local guide contacted me, saying, "The local guide was informed to meet at 2:15 PM." The day after the tour ended, the office sent a correction: "It was 2:15 PM." The office staff is truly incompetent. However, the local guide was incredibly kind, competent, and wonderful. They were resourceful in every situation and handled everything flexibly. I am truly grateful. They were an excellent guide. The local guide was fantastic. The tour content itself was also excellent. They picked me up at the hotel and drove me to the boat dock. From there, we took a boat to the floating village, and while walking through the village, I learned various things about it. Then, we enjoyed plenty of tea and snacks at a tourist-friendly home, explored the inside of the house, walked a bit more through the village, returned by boat, and were driven back to the hotel. The content was perfectly balanced and wonderful. Including the guide's competence, it was a wonderful tour.

experience a new kind of thing in life ☺️ and the food is actually nice and has familiar
