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.

Ulu Temburong Tour!! - I was thrilled with my recent experience to Ulu Temburong! It was an unforgettable experience, and I'm glad that I had a great time exploring the lush jungle and immersing myself in nature. I must say, my guide Aziman was an exceptional person, and I am so glad he was able to accompany us on this adventure. It's always such a privilege to have a knowledgeable and friendly guide who can give you insights into the local culture and terrain. I'm sure his expertise and passion for the area made my trip all the more enjoyable and memorable.
Thank you for sharing your countries beauty with us

Truly a home of peace - We came to Brunei with no itinerary until we met our guide. His service was exceptional, an expert on what he does. What can I say he is the Man! We had a blast throughout the tour. The country is indeed peaceful and safe for tourists. You can even walk late in the streets. People are friendly and the places are stunning in their own way. Definitely a must to visit.

Recommend this tour. - We were only in Brunei for 24 hours and decided a day tour was our best option to explore the city. Our guide was Aziman was absolutely fabulous. He was charming and polite, and was keen to share his knowledge and love of Brunei. We chatted all day and felt we parted as friends. Keep up your great work 'Man'.

A day in Bandar - While the experience had been enjoyable, informative and generous with his time(guide),however the car should be upgraded for foreign clients and in additional due to Covid-19 safety, the tour guide should not be sharing the same table during lunch time.
