    Great way to spend our first day in Seoul. It gave us the opportunity to experience a few palaces and market shopping which will help guide the rest of our trip. Soochie was a great guide and very informative. There is a lot of global political history here that is not common knowledge outside of Korea.

    This was a fabulous tour. Well worth the money as every minute of the almost 8 hours was well planned out. Also Junie was an amazing tour guide and gave insider information (and 2 reasons) for all the significant and historical events she talked about.
