Great tour, gave us lots of new information about Bandar and Brunei. The weather was a challenge due to rain, but the tour guide adjusted the tour to keep us dry. It worked out very well. Mr Zul was a great guide, spoke excellent english and was very informative. Recommend tour and be sure to include the water village, its worth a look.
Great overview of the city and great guide.
Saw the main sights of Bandar Seri Begawan, including the main mosques, the downtown area, government buildings and the Brunei Museum and Royal Regalia Center. Took a boat to the Water Village and toured the home of a resident. Had baked treats and tea in the home. A really good partial day introduction to the city. Our guide was a local person with a lot of knowledge about the inner workings of Brunei and he explained many of the local customs. Note - we toured on a Friday and were unable, as non-Muslims, to enter the mosques. We knew this when booking the tour, as this was the only day that worked for us.
