Thanks to our guide Kay! He introduced us to the specialties of Korea and led us to places we would never have alone. Delicious food and a great, very sympathetic guide who took many photos of us, what more could you want.

Tour guide never showed up. The company wouldn’t answer my messages on the Viator App until I got Viator Support to reach out to the company on my behalf. There was no telephone or WhatsApp number to call them. Once they finally responded they claimed they got the day mixed up. I was already at the station with another person who was also waiting to start the tour.
Great experience, highly recommend
