5-Day Korea Golden route by K-shuttle Tour from Seoul Including Busan, Yeosu

This was a Great tour. Joe, the Tour Director, was so informative, friendly, helpful, and considerate to those who had disability issues. He even offered to push them by wheelchair to experience the history and culture of Korea. Not many Tour Directors will go out of their way or take great lengths to help others like he did. Joe insured we get the experience of beautiful Korea. He was totally Awesome. For our driver, he was awesome as well. He was also friendly and very helpful. He ensured we were safe with his driving skills. Love how he always smiled and is kind to help others in need without being asked. Both Joe. Tour Director, and driver made this trip wonderful, enjoyable, fun, and memorable. The always had a positive attitude. I plan on returning to Korea because of them. I worked in Customer Service, and both of them deserve something great, a raise, as Tour Director and Driver because they showed passion in their work and went far beyond exceptional service to ensure we capture and experience the beauty of Korea ????????????

Am meisten ärgerte uns der unkomfortable und langsame Schulbus, in dem 11 Personen 1600km (bis zu 8 Stunden Fahrzeit pro Tag) aushalten mussten. Das Reisegepäck wurde teilweise ohne Sicherung in den ersten Busreihen untergebracht. Durch die langsame Fahrweise wurden die Besichtigungszeiten teilweise extrem gekürzt. Der Guide wusste zwar gut Bescheid, war aber sehr sarkastisch gegenüber den Kunden und dem unerfahrenen Fahrer. Am ärgsten war die Kürzung des Programms am letzten Reisetag im Olympischen Dorf, wo wir anstatt 1,5 Stunden nur 10 Minuten Fotostopp machten. In Yeosu am Fischmarkt wurden spät abends Teile der Reisegruppe einfach zurückgelassen und mussten gesucht werden. Das Reiseprogramm wurde manchmal kurzfristig geändert. In einem der sonst guten Hotels gab es kein warmes Wasser zum duschen. Als Entschädigung wurde ein teilweise ungeniesbares Mittagessen angeboten. Eine Minderung des Reisepreises wegen dieser Probleme wurde vom Veranstalter abgelehnt.

We really enjoyed the trip. Our guide was kind and helpful. The mini-van that we went around with looked as if it was new and well maintained and was cleaned inside every day (it was raining and we brought mud inside but the next day it was clean). The hotels we stayed at were all really clean and some of them were actually beautiful. I think we won’t be able to find a room with the view like the one of the “Ocean Resort” hotel anywhere else. The places we visited were interesting. We loved the Buddhist temples. We were able to see many towns and cities. Most local people understand some English, but still there is a language barrier. It would have been almost impossible to find these places on our own and get there. If you can’t speak Korean, book a trip with a guide. We definitely recommend this one. We got a lot more than we expected.
