    This was an excellent city tour to take, especially on the first day arrival. I felt like we comprehensively covered the river by boat, including watching the monkeys, then the palace, both the major mosques, and ended at the museum. Everything was exactly as described in the itinerary. The guide, Fendi, was a very nice young man who I enjoyed talking with all day. He’s knowledgeable about all the sites and Bruneian history in general. I would easily recommend this tour again.

    Fun, interesting, varied day in a country that really is one of a kind. The guide made the day a party with humor and skill and also the captain of the boat helped us find croquettes. Recommended
