5.00A great experience, the guide was friendly and had lots of knowledge about each destination. He was also very kind as it was a cold day keeping the car warm and gave me a hand warmer when it was cold, and helped me pick noodles at the mall when I wasn’t sure what to have, and showed me delicious mochi. The small group was a great way to see everything and very comfortable and he helped ensure we all had a good time and take pictures. It was a really nice mix of activities and fun experience, thank you for a great day!

5.00Banging tour. Driver SB was an absolute highlight and a gentleman. I didn't want to do fancy dress as did that elsewhere the day before, so he arranged for me alone to do a kimchi making session at the museum. The kimchi was very spicy, but after discussion I accept the driver is not responsible for kimchi containing chilli paste. Overall, very, very happy and a lovely day out with lots of sweet little stops and sites to see.
