Very friendly guide. I even got a private tour. Great deal if you want a quick tour!
ModifyWhat a great way to see Seoul! We all had a blast and our guide was fantastic~~I would recommend this tour to anyone who loves to have insight view of Seoul!
ModifyJiny, my guide, was top-notch. A young lady with a vast knowledge of her city, and is good at conveying it to others. She taught me a few phrases in Korean that I used the rest of my trip
ModifyJinny is a very knowledgeable guide. I came away from the tour feeling much more educated about the culture and history of Seoul.
ModifyKorean food is truly healthy but still yummy.. Happy about taste and presentation of the food!!
