5.00The tour was fantastic! Greg was an amazing tour guide who was very knowledgeable and professional. We saw so many great sights including the Hahoe Folk Village, Bongjeongsa temple, and Mask performance. Greg is a local, passionate about his work and catered the tour for us. He recommending a great place for lunch took us the open market in Andong after we suggested we wanted to do some shopping even though it wasn't on the itinerary. Can not recommend this more!
Highlight of our first Korean trip!

5.00We decided to visit Andong from Seoul after seeing a picture of the Hahoe Village. Although it was quite a treacherous trip from Seoul as foreigners (we stayed in Andong for 2 nights just for this tour which I think is necessary), it turned out to be the absolute highlight of our first Korean trip. Our private tour guide Greg is a polite, patient, kind and knowledgeable retired teacher. Greg's roomy and clean SUV can comfortably serve up to 5 people. Greg was very accommodating during the whole tour allowing us to fully enjoy each site to our hearts content. He introduced us to local dishes, local customs and quite a bit of Korean history. We visited three major UNESCO sites and added on the Wolyeonggyo Bridge after dark. It was a very long day but at the end it turned into fond and rich memories for us. Priceless!
