Reviews: (Morning Session) Mari Mari Cultural Village + Big Prawn Laksa Lunch | Join-In Tour
Guest User2025-10-23
Candy was our tour guide & she was super friendly, genuine, and great at her job! Along the way, she recommended places to visit and brought us to Mari Mari Cultural Village, where we had laksa prawn for lunch (great recommendation, I loved their laksa!). At Mari Mari Cultural Village, Clare was our guide & she was also very friendly and explained everything really well. Thank you for giving us such a wonderful experience, really appreciate it! ☺️★

Reviews: (Afternoon Session) Mari Mari Cultural Village + Big Prawn Laksa Lunch | Join-In Tour
Guest User2025-08-12
I took a lunch from the afternoon and a tour of the Marimari Cultural Village. Laksa was also delicious and arranged something that was not spicy for children. The tour contents of the Marimari Cultural Village were very good, and I was really glad I went. However, it seems that there was a miscommunication between the tour company and the Marimari Cultural Village, and it is said that the high tea that should be at the end of the Marimari Cultural Village is not included. It was said that it was included, and I changed two times in the second half. I was going to eat when I was checking the contents of the tour, so I told him I wanted to eat because I would pay an additional fee. As a result, it was said that it was incorporated into the original 々 tour, so it was good because I was able to enjoy it without additional charges, but it was not a very good impression that the explanation changed two times. The high tea was very good, so I think it's better to participate after checking in advance whether it's included in this tour.★
