5.00We loved this tour! Our tour guide Hee Soo was really well organized and showed us around the place, making sure we have time to see the parts that interested our kids the most and catch the performances. She also gave us interesting insights into old Korean traditions and modern life, and guided us what traditional snacks to get and where. All in all, we had an amazing experience as a whole family. Thank you Hee Soo!
