    Bomi was great. She was patient and answered all our questions about the palace and Korean history. We saw the whole palace as well, which was nice. Our walk through town was interesting and well paced. The final stretch through Insafdong was great. Bomi found us a great little local lunch place and helped us order. Recommended.
