THe tour was really informative and well paced, no rushing at all, the food was ok, the guide was amazing and energetic
good basic overview but the afternoon markets are a waste so I would find a different tour
My husband and I are not fans of museums and places so we chose this tour for the obligatory been-there-done-that experience. It was surprisingly fun and interesting. Tour guide Sonia from Holiday Tours and Travel was fantastic. Highly recommend this tour - a great all-in-one!
Great tour. Value for money. Excellent guides.
loved it :
This was an excellent experience and our tour guide Leslie was fantastic. This is a tour that moves along quickly so prepare to look and move on. I think the best thing about this tour was that it was a small group so we all go to know each other. This was one of the highlights of our trip to Seoul.
