Brunei Private Car Tours

“Venice of the East and mangroves tour with Erick J”

My boyfriend and I had an incredible time exploring Brunei's water village, and our guide Erick J. from Gowithguide made it truly unforgettable . Growing up in a similar village, Erick had a deep understanding of the local way of life, and his passion was infectious. As we wandered along the narrow boardwalks, we were struck by the warmth of the locals, who greeted us with smiles and hellos. The stilt houses were a marvel, each one unique and full of character, with sizes varying depending on family needs. We saw schools on stilts, water taxis zipping by, and Erick explained how the government's modern villages were changing the landscape – with a hint of nostalgia, he noted the old villages might be gone in 5-10 years. We even saw a crocodile basking in the sun near the houses. Erick shared insights into Brunei's life, where oil and gas wealth has brought benefits like free healthcare, no income tax, and subsidized housing. Azrin, a friend of Erick's, took us upriver to spot proboscis monkeys – what a thrill! We saw them lazing in trees, unique with their long noses and shrieks. Back at Azrin's, we enjoyed tea and banana fritters with his welcoming family. Erick's story about ditching big agencies for freelance work to meet people and support smaller businesses like Azrin's stuck with me. As a bonus, Erick took us to see the longest bridge in SEA. What a wonderful day!

“Interesting and fun! ”

Our guide was very friendly and very kind, he liked talking and it was fun listening to his stories. It felt like we were being toured by a family member. ❤️ He even sent us pictures of monkeys even after the tour because we weren’t able to get many shots from our phone! Thank you very much!
