5.00Book this history tour with Eric! I’ve visited many countries, had great experiences with all my walking tours, but can honestly say this tour with Eric was exceptional. From the start to the end the information gained has helped me have a greater understanding of the history and culture of Seoul South Korea and Korean Peninsula. As the tour progressed I began to feel immersed an able to understand what was being said, not always the case with all of my History Tours in the past. I felt very comfortable chatting with Eric as the tour unfolded. I very much appreciated being able to as for greater clarity on some of the issues. If you’re reading this review don’t hesitate book it, you won’t be disappointed. Thanks Eric usually the next day I’ve forgotten some of the dates that are given on tours. But seem to have remembered most that you gave me.
