  • Best guide tour I have joined.

    Worth every cents for this guided tour. All admission fees included. Maybe the lunchtime should be done at the cultural village as a family of 5 and above can get a table easily. Having the lunchtime (on our own) at the shopping mall food court is quite challenging as time is wasted on looking for a table.

  • An excellent and knowledgeable tour guide who made the trip enjoyable and informative.

    The tour guide was able to share the deep history of korea, through the places we visited. Which allowed us to get an understanding of how and why korea is korea today. The tour took about 9-10 hours, including breaks in between. It felt just about right as we could spend the rest of the day either resting or continuing our stay in korea, so there is not much i would change.

  • Well plan, and just right to experience korea history in an outdoor setting.

    History of Korea, explain in simple, chronological way. Yes, the price is value for money. Duration of the tour started from 8am to 4.30pm is just right. Too bad, we do not get to enjoy the performance at the fork village due to wet weather.

    My family and I had a wonderful time on the tour today. Apollo catered enough time for us to view the sights, learn about the history and also, to take photos because no picture no talk, right? :) The pacing of the tour was just right. All in, a great day out.
