Summary:
Wow this was a perfect way to finish our week. We'd been working all week and Irene showed us true Brunei. She knows, lives and loves the local world.
The meal we had that was prepared and served in the middle of a local village was better than anything I had at the 5 star Rizqun
Then a boat trip where we were lucky enough to see monkeys in the wild... And then more.. to a local house on the river for more local delicacies
If you want a taste of true Brunei then this tour is for you

Summary:
It was a wonderful tour with Irene, a tour guide, during which we managed to see quite a lot in the capital city, Bandar Seri Begawan, and its surroundings in 1 day. Thanks to the flexibility of Irene, the tour was 100% customized for 1 person (myself) and we had a great time, nevertheless an almost tropical rain in the whole afternoon (which actually lasted for the rest of the day including the night), which we couldn't manage, of course, but we managed well our time and made maximum out of it under those challenging conditions. Irene, thanks again for your excellent tour and an unforgettable experience.
