Very clear museum presentation
I went there by grave taxi alone and learned that the guided group tours only start 2 hours later. It is a living museum at every house there are, stands where traditional crafts, culinary arts and dances are performed. Especially the drinks and small food on the way were particularly interesting. You could walk through several longhouses. The steps of notched logs are not easy to take. You were accompanied by one person as a group, and everything was explained very well. There were also ways to do something yourself, such as operate a blowpipe and reach a shooting target or create sounds on the aisle. It was really experience and a lot of experience..

It is not a private tourit is it fake and wrong
IT IS NOT A PRIVATE TOUR you will be with 12 other people and wait and wait for everyone to be ready . The tour company doesn t answer to you before during or after the tour. The village is cute ! Don t expect Viator to refund because they don t care so go to other companies...

Wonderful smooth tour by Clare 👍🏼
I went with both my parents, and it was a very enjoyable experience! I visited 5 years ago, and there have been improvements from the reception area, to the increased number of staff and guides, and lunch provided as compared to last time 👍🏼 We got Clare as our guide, and she was very patient and kind despite certain people in the group that were a tad more mischievious throughout the tour. The tour was smooth, the post-tour performance was entertaining, and the lunch was delicious. All in all, I'm glad that MMCV has improved over the years and gave my parents as wonderful an experience as last time I went 😁👍🏼👍🏼 Would recommend everyone to visit atleast once if they are in Sabah!.

Good learning experience
I am not going to fault anything here, it was an amazing experience. The guides were amazing ( our guide was Aril) and we felt really good taken care of. They are all knowledgeable and really want people to learn about the culture and the tribes of Borneo. The traffic can be horrible, it can rain, changes can happen to your trip, but none of this matters as long as the experience is great, and it really was 🙂 Thank you so much 🙂..

No value add
The tour itself was excellent. 5 stars to the experience, and our guide Zul was engaging. The transport there left much to be desired and was overpriced after i calculated how much the ticket price cost us. The driver was late in picking us up, saying he had to go to the carwash, and the main coordinator said no rush when we contacted him. There is no value add for this package - only overpriced private transfer and the driver going over to register for you at the venue. Book this only if its last minute and you cannot get your own transport...
