    Great sites made much easier by using the tour for transportation. The down side is the tour was 90% in Korean with minimal to no information given in English. If you are an English speaker I would consider another tour.

  • Nice selection of sites and some things to know

    We were on I found out at time of tour, a multi-lingual tour. The majority of travelers were Chinese (Mandarin). I was expecting an English only tour. I could tell the Mandarin speaking, majority, were getting far more explanation than the English speaking. Mike was too close to mouth of guide and very difficult to understand. The countryside visited was beautiful, All site experiences were very nice. Also, drop off point was different than pick up point. Be sure to check that out ahead of time.

    Had a great trip to the grasslands and up the Aso volcano! Also got lucky in that the peak opened to visitors for a brief window even though it was closed at the start of the day. Our guide was friendly and easy to talk to.

    The trip was very well organized and Lina was amazing. The volcano is a must see experience and we thoroughly enjoyed spending time around the grasslands and the hot spring (onsen). There is sufficient time to go through all the activities
