“Visit during Eid ”
We made our visit during the Eid holidays and therefore had limited choice of activities that we could do (e.g. museums and restaurants are closed). Despite that, Azizan made the tour very informative. We learned many interesting nuggets of information, and he even managed to procure for us the famous Ambuyat dish. We really enjoyed the tour.

“Our Tour Guide Azizan was very knowledgeable ”
Erick advised that Azizan would be our Tour Guide 30 minutes before the Tour started. Azizan was a great guide, clearly has a lot of knowledge about Brunei’s history, its people and many other subjects such as the economy, the education system, etc. Having studied in Singapore on a full scholarship and now working at a Think Tank in Brunei, he must be one of the most well educated tour guides I’ve met despite his young age. He suggested tweaking our plans and first took us to the Brunei Energy Hub, which is an impressive exhibition showcasing the country’s energy journey since 1929. We visited the Water village, had tea and coffee at a local home, visited the Kampong Ayer Gallery within the water village. We were lucky to see a few proboscis monkeys during a mangrove river safari and a couple of kingfisher birds. We also did photo stops at the Omar Ali Saifuddin Mosque and the Istana. All in all, those 4 hours gave us a wonderful opportunity to get to know a country we had never visited before, and also learn the customs during Ramadan (the period of our visit)
