5.00We ended up with a flight delay and "stuck" in South Korea for about a day. We decided to make the most of it and try and see a bit of Seoul. The airport is quite far from the city, about an hour each way so we needed something short. This tour was perfect, loved having a personal tour guide to ask questions to. We were kind of just along for the ride but if you have specific things you want to do, see, eat or shop for it can be catered for you. We enjoyed seeing and learning about the city. Our tour guide was very kind, great tour!
