5.00If you want to learn about Korea's history, past and current pressures, and the Korean people's suffering caused by a hard-to-understand, yet very real physical separation, this is a "must-take" tour. If you want the tour experience to be memorable, professional, personable, funny, and unforgettable, insist that your tour guide be Lily, from Seoul City Tours.
Felicity is Awesome
