Review for: Morning Session: Meeting Point [Malaysian]

this was my first experience with the Borneo village. I was very happy and will not forget this moment. All people and staffs are very nice and friendly. I also did the activity like cooking and try to hit the ballon with the traditional weapon.

We had a guide that was assigned to us only. The lunch was ok.

Because I was traveling solo, I booked this tour, and I highly recommend it if you're coming alone so you don't have to worry. The driver was very punctual. At the cultural village, they also have Mandarin, English, and Korean tours, so you don't have to worry about language problems. The tour guide was very nice and friendly and explained everything in detail. And unexpectedly, once inside the cultural village, I kept eating and eating, and I was too full to eat lunch. A great experience 👍 highly recommended.

Really enjoyed our tour in Borneo Cultural Village. We were really able to experience their culture. Got to try their dance, their native hunting instrument, cooking curry and roti, and various food samples from the different tribes. The buffet lunch was also good. They also offered free henna tattoo.

Our guide, Agustine, was both a responsible driver and informative lead in Boreno culture. He was able to convine me to try out all the experience in the Borneo centre while balancing the preference of the other guests. Additionally, he took on the role of our photographer and videographer for everyone. This is great especially for a solo traveller. I enjoyed the tour very much!

Review for: Borneo Cultural Village + Klias River Cruise

Amazing experience. We didn’t try the sago worms at the Borneo Cultural Village but the cooking session (chicken curry and Roti Canai was fun. The cruise to spot Proboscis monkey and fireflies was magical, like Xmas came early. Saw an amazing sunset too.

Review for: Morning Session: Meeting Point [Malaysian]

We were in Mari Mari Cultural Village, because Borneo Village was closed due to whole situation with coronavirus. The village is informative and pleasant. True, the show was not very interesting. In one of the Kota Kinabalu shopping centers, the show is much more attractive.

Review for: Morning Session: Hotel Pick Up

We were greeted with a welcoming dance, and we were able to sample the food culture of the old ethnic groups, which was very delicious. For the experience, we enjoyed blowguns, fire making, trampolines indoors, and bamboo dancing in the show. The guide was cheerful and explained everything very well in easy-to-understand English, even though our English is not very good. It was a very valuable experience. Very satisfying.
