Mari Mari Cultural Village Tour with Transport, Guide and Lunch

We had John as the guide for the day. It was an enjoyable ride to the cultural village, he shared a lot of interesting facts making it exciting. The village tour in itself was a lovely experience, we got to see how the indigenous people lived and their habitat. They involved us in trying things. The food was delicious. Overall an eventful day and I would certainly recommend it.

smooth experience, enjoyable and educational

I really enjoyed the morning at Mari Mari, and am grateful for a wonderful company who lets you book this experience as a solo traveler (many only let you book 2+). I had an exceptional guide in John, who was kind, engaging, and made sure that everyone enjoyed a great experience. As well as learning more about indigenous cultures, you’re able to try lots of local yummy snacks and drinks along the way. The staff who work here are lovely and very happy for you to take photos of them demonstrating and performing. The buffet at the end was terrific too with lots of variety and good drinks. I’d highly recommend this tour and company.

Incredible experience with a knowledgeable guide. I was a little worried that the experience might be cheesy or inauthentic, but that was NOT the case at all. I thoroughly enjoyed it and was very pleased with the value. Eddie is an engaging guide who immerses you in the distant and immediate history of Malaysia. He took great care of our group, making sure that everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves. He even made sure to explain all of the dishes at lunch (which was fabulous!) 10/10 would recommend.

I enjoyed my trip. I am happy for the fact that I got to experience this amazing trip as a solo traveller. Thank you to trip advisor for allowing solo travellers the ability to book this trip. Other websites and vendors don’t want to book solo travellers because they might loose money if the venue isn’t filled. I tried booking a trip to the Mari Mari village on my last visit to Kota Kinabalu and unfortunately wasn’t able to. But it was worth the visit. I when on this trip to learn about the history of the people and culture before the colonization of the country. Our tour guide was amazing and knowledgeable. He was very passionate about his job and his country. He made sure that we enjoyed our trip. If I go back to KK again I would do this tour with this vendor.
