5.00Our tour guide Linda was so knowledgeable and attentive! She was very polite and kind. She was explaining very detailed stories of history of Shilla Dynasty. She was also excellent photographer. She adjusted our schedule as we wanted. She suggested local restaurants and cafes. She made our travel so memorable!! The tour company owner even rescheduled our itinerary to meet our points of interest. It was such a pleasant experience!!

5.00We booked a private tour and were very happy with communication prior to the trip. In the morning, Leo contacted us to say he would be at our hotel slightly ahead of schedule. We could not have asked for a more helpful, polite and informative guide for our day and the vehicle was clean, comfortable and roomy. We can recommend this tour with Leo without hesitation.
