5.00Our guide Ma Young was delightful and gave extra information at each stop. She was genuinely upset that N Seoul Tower was covered in cloud but our group of ten was just happy to be there. It was a wonderful day and we are returning to the National Folk Museum to see more. The trip was a perfect highlight of the city.
AJ was awesome. Nice trip even in the rain

3.00We thought the places we visited were good but the timings allocated to each place were way off. The order of places we visited was changed so the Buddhist Temple, that we were supposed to enter, was having a prayer session so, after lining up to go in, we were not permitted to enter. We were given way too much time at the palace and nowhere near enough time at the N Seoul Tower. For an 8 hour tour, things could have been done so much better.
