Fascinating insight into the tribal history in Borneo. Was very well organised, and we learnt a lot about the different tribes. We also got to try a number of local food/drink items, and take part in activities at the various houses. Definitely recommend a visit.
It was amazing tour, from the starting point till the end was guided by them. The tour was conducted by Miss Clare, she was doing good with her explanation. Tasted few desserts along the journey. People here are amazing bcz always smile and polite. Cultural Performances was marvelous. Good job to the native people here. My daughter was just 3, and she enjoyed the whole journey. Suggesting to consider for kids more than 3 years old too. Lunch buffet also excellent. Worthy trip. Thanks for the team.
Thoroughly enjoyed the tour. It was our guide made it interesting, interactive (food and drink tasting as well as activities). The breaking into smaller groups was also great so it didn’t feel overcrowded or too long waiting for others. Meal at the end also had good variety and was very tasty! Definitely a must do for anyone spending a couple of days in KK
Great experience to know more about the minority tribes in Sabah better!
