5.00I had the best tour with Choi!! He was so nice and welcoming. This was my first time here in Korea and as a solo traveler it was just the best time to be able to spend with him and Min Jun. This was a smaller group than he has usually but for me it was the best experience and honestly just perfect and a highlight of my trip. Thank you. Thank you. Anyone looking for a laid back tour you should check this out. Only a little over 3 hrs and great food at the end.
