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
It's a different experience at night and the driver knows his history. Also very helpful and you can understand what he's saying
Had a great tour with May. She’s a local from Bandar . We went to the water village and took a boat to one of the local houses then continued to tour Bandar including some marvelous mosques and the royal palace. Strongly recommended.
Very good. Highly recommend. Would never have been able to do this alone. A cultural experience and a good way to see Brunei at night. Learnt a lot too.
Fantastic Met with house boat owner who is so charming with all his history as a fisherman his eleven children and so many grand children
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!”
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.
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.
What a wonderful and interesting tour of this great place. Led by my wonderful and informative host. I Learnt so much, and got to finished the night with a feast of local treats at the night market. Can’t recommend this experience highly enough.
Fantastic time touring the city at night. The mosques all lit up look amazing. My tour guide described each tour stop with great detail and insight. Boat ride through watercity section was fun. This is a tour I would highly recommend.
