5.00Sophie was the best ever tour guide! The tour was interesting and fun because of Sophie. Sophie is very knowledgeable and friendly and answered all of our questions. She even took pictures for everyone. We had a good time and would definitely recommend if you are looking for an affordable adventure. Lots of walking so bring comfy shoes. Don’t pack heavy. There’s places to get water and food along the way. Comfortable van too

5.00In Seoul for ~48 hours and I’m very glad I prioritized this tour; I gained a lot of knowledge and enjoyed the range of stops. Sophie was a fantastic tour guide! She added humor and wit to keep the bus rides engaging. I liked the smaller size of the group (11 people) and felt it was a very comprehensive visit. Going to the suspension bridge at the end was a great way to cap things off. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting, whether solo or in a group!
👍 very good tour
