    YT Kim was unprofessional and a real cheat! . He made this private car tour into a walking tour and charged us the private car tour fee.. He parked his car so far away on purpose after the first stop. By following him, we have realized how far he had parked on purpose. We didn’t even had time to enjoy our tour because he kept rushing and walking ahead. . Most of the time he just walk in front and left us in the dust and doesn’t really know where we were. We had to look for him all the time. He doesn’t talk much at all and doesn’t listen to our needs The worst tour guide I had ever book on Viotor so far He took us to the palace but only walk the entrance us into the main entrance and immediately took us out to the back entrance to folk museum in less than 45 min we spent inside the the palace. He told us the hanbok rental was only for two hours?! After he dropped us off at the hanbok store, he purposely parked his car at the Bukchon village so we can walk all the way. We only enter the palace and immediately he took us straight to the folk museum entrance in less than 45 min. He didnt take us to the king’s and queens quarters.mt, didn’t do the walk around the pond of the palace he made us walk from the palace straight to the restaurant in Insadong for lunch and straight to Bulcheon village by 3pm. he just kept walking ahead until without stopping much anywhere else. The worst and laziest tour guide. It’s supposed to be a private car tour instead he turned it into a private walking tour where the price is very different.. Also, he doesn’t even give you any background or history or facts. He simply wants to walk the course and leave quickly. We were done with his schedule by 3pm!! We didn’t want to go to bukcheon but he still walk us there because he parked his car there. If you want to do walking tour then. advertise as so, Don’t advertise as private car tour and cheat your way out as a walking tour because we paid for a private car tour not a walking tour. Felt like he scam our money and thinking he can get away with it! We wanted to go to Namsan, he made us walk all the way done back to his car??? Even my previous waking tour guide had us taking the bus down. Very disappointed on this tour. Our tour started at 10am. We were at the hanbok store for about an hour, walk the palace and folk museum and left and changed out our clothes and got to the restuabrt about 12:30? We went to wait in line for the famous dumping at insadong had lunch and got our about 2, the. At Bukcheon next to his car by 3pm. We didn’t want to go to Bukcheon , we went took Abby’s to Namsab and walked back down to his car by 4:30 back to our hotel before 5pm???
