4.00Yeonie the tour guide was great, and the tour was good. You get to cover a lot of ground and see quite a bit of Seoul with great context delivered to you from the tour guide. However, I'd be remiss to mention that they take you to a ginseng "museum" during the tour, in which you walk down two small hallways hawking the benefits of ginseng, and then are put into a room where you receive a sales pitch. It says 20 minutes on the itinerary, we were there for about an hour. It felt very much like a time-share, and I didn't appreciate it being wedged into our otherwise good tour, nor that we had to wait for lunch until we were out of there.
Highly recommended sightseeing tour
