This is an excellent tour for those who prefer a more relaxed pace with minimal walking required.


Brunei is one of the 2 remaining Ruling Sultanate in the world today and your escorted tour will take you along the route of the royalty in Brunei, explaining to you what they do and the role they play in modern-day Brunei. Starting off from the pier, you will travel to Bandar Seri Begawar, Brunei's capital city and where you will find the Water Village, site of your first stop. Situated in the middle of the Brunei River, approximately 39,000 people make this unique place their home, living and working in buildings that have been constructed atop stilts that rise from the river. In actuality, the Water Village is made up of several small villages that are linked together by a network of foot-bridges and boardwalks and rapid transit here comes in the form of private water taxis. This utterly fascinating village looks somewhat ramshackle at first glance, but closer inspection reveals that this enclave boasts all of today's modern amenities and behind the wooden exteriors of the homes, you will often find many ornate interiors.


From here, you will next pass by Istana Nurul Iman, the official residence of the Sultan of Brunei that rises majestically alongside the Brunei River. Next, it's on to the homes of two of the Royal Princesses where you will have brief stops for photos. Before proceeding to the Polo Club for High Tea, you will also have a view of another palace, Istana Nurul Izza.


The Polo Club is a delightful place to relax and enjoy some refreshment, surrounded by its elegant ambience. The theme here is naturally centered around horses, and the rooms are filled with many expensive oil paintings of these magnificent creatures. Who knows, you may even bump into some royalty while you are here as they are known to frequent the club.


Following your stop for tea, you will re-join your coach and transfer back to the pier.
