5.00Bergen is a wonderful tour guide! Scheduled work on the gondola caused us to change the itinerary a bit, but when we arrived today, the gondola was working and he very quickly pivoted and was able to accommodate the changes. Highly recommended!!!

5.00It was a gorgeous day in the mountains by the seaside, guided by Mr. Kim, a very nice and considerate person with a fantastic sense of humor and good (safe) driving skills. His stories about the daily life of an ordinary person in South Korea made it a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I will treasure forever. Highly recommended.
Unforgettable hiking trip on Mt. Seoraksan.
