This whole tour was a great experience. Everything was perfectly arranged and the tour itself was one of the most interesting things we did during our trip to South Korea. We saw very impressive monuments. And our tour guide Dylan was amazing. He didn’t only give us valuable info regarding the tour but he shared a lot of things regarding the everyday life of Koreans.
