An Amazing, Informative Experience
What a wonderful visit to this amazing space with our incredibly knowledgeable guide, Claire. Right from the start, where you announce your arrival by hitting the gong, to the end where you are entertained with music and dance, guests are immersed in past customs, food, drink, and games. Thank you for the experience. I would highly recommend to anyone wishing to spend a lovely few hours in Kota Kinabalu..

Great experience of the local culture and History
The problem with the tours in Kota Kinabalu is that they act like a transfer company. No communication until the day of the trip, no comments about the experience and just drop off and pickup. Use grab instead. I didnt like the service provided by the company but cultural villages are great. Must visit..

Experience not to be missed
House of skulls was very factual. The food & rice wine tasting was much appreciated. Perhaps the dogs could be trained not to bark at visitors..
