★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 16 reviews · 1 day · from $85

Mari-Mari Cultural Village in Sabah with Kadazan Dusun homes, dances, rice wine, lunch or hi-tea, and hotel transfers in one day.

“The worst tour I’ve ever joined in Kota Kinabalu. Firstly the price is 10-20$ higher yet even excluding transportation while other companies provide free pick up & drop off. Secondly the customer service is really disappointed, I don’t see any understanding or empathy when customer asked for help while wanted to cancel the order even just made it 30 minutes before. It was speechless that the customer service told you that they didn’t force you to make the order and they have no idea why the price is higher without transportation. What a nonsense .”
