Best memory in Korea

5.00We are so grateful for Jonas! He was a wonderful guide! Jones allowed us to choose the path and encouraged us to climb higher even with kids. We will never forget the time what we spent in the Mt Seorak. It was beautiful in autumn time. After the hike we have visited also the Buddhist temple and learned about the religions in South Korea. At the end we had the dinner. The taste of the chicken soup is amazing! All of us became South Korean food lover, it was just so delicious! Thank you so much for this wonderful day, long transport and meal!
