Great tour of Brunei’s highlights. - Enjoyable tour of Brunei’s important sites. Water village is not to be missed, a very unique feature of Brunei. Recommend combining this tour with the proboscis monkey river tour to get a full scope of Brunei.

Great full day tour - Gandi was an excellent guide with extensive knowledge of his country to share with us. He loved our visit to the market, two Mosques, the Royal Museum and boat tour and visit to the water village. Visiting a water village home was special, ended with a great lunch.

Top 5 tour guides - I've traveled to 14 countries, and within 2 years, Mohammed fasial is hands down my top 5 destination tour guides. He takes pride in his jobs, and he is passionate about showing his guest(s) what brunei has to offer. His vast knowledge, passion, and pride captive you while touring important sights throughout the city. I was blessed to have him as my guide and hope others experience firsthand what I'm talking about.
