This was the best tour I took in Seoul, My tour guide was so knowledgeable and helpful she took time out to speak with each person on the tour, she was able to answer all our questions, and had some fun stories to keep us entertained and help us feel connected to the places we were visiting.
The drivers were very knowledgeable as well, and pointed out sites on the drives to our various locations.
I took tours with different companies in Seoul and when I come back I will only be doing tours with this company they ran things much smoother and the staff were so much nicer and friendlier!
Thanks so much for an amazing trip
