Cheonggyecheon Stream

Cheonggyecheon is a beautifully restored 11-kilometer urban stream that runs through the heart of Seoul, offering a serene oasis amidst the bustling city. Once buried under concrete, it was revitalized in 2005 into a vibrant public space with walkways, bridges, and greenery, perfect for leisurely strolls or cultural events. This iconic waterway blends history, nature, and modern urban life.

    The tour was fun, K is an excellent tour guide. She kept us engaged, is well-informed, and ensures the group stays together while coordinating so much throughout the day.

  • Disappointed in this Company, Very Pleased with my Guide

    I am disappointed with this tour company because I was genuinely mistaken and placed a booking for two people as opposed to one person for my tour date. It was only under my name alone, and one name registered, so my mistake was clear at face value. Instead of offering to make it right by me, a first time customer and a first time visitor to Korea, the company pick-up driver told me no refunds after driving me to my tour destination. This is a really disappointing situation, to be punished for a genuine mistake and forced to pay double the price for one person. In light of this, the only positive of this tour was the guide - Crystal. She is the reason why I am giving this tour a 3 star rating as opposed to no stars for the tour company’s bad customer service and taking advantage of my mistaken booking. Crystal was knowledgeable, kind, patient and an all around great guide! She was one of the bus tour guides that I ever had and made the tour well worth (its proper value). I would definitely recommend a tour with Crystal in South Korea, and I would warn against making any customer mistakes with this tour company. They will take and keep your money, and you will regret it.
