We were incredibly disappointed in this tour. The tour guide barely spoke English and the only guiding he did was walk with us through one of the palaces. He offered little to no insight and as for the rest of the stops on our tour, he simply dropped us off (no separate driver) and picked us up. It was a very expensive taxi ride. We were very disappointed. He was very kind but was clearly not equipped to be an English speaking tour guide.

Just did a Seoul Tour with Andy that was booked through Epic Vacations. Andy was great and informative and very fun. He taught us a lot and even took us to a side trip to the LDS Temple in Seoul.

We went Korea by company trip. The schedule is set based on our wishes. We already enjoyed the trip. Without any intentionality to sell products for a commission. But if you want to go Korea around Oct, Everland is not a good choice because so many students here.
The tour guide - Sori Kim, she is cute, we were surprise because she looks young and beautiful. She took care tourists very well during the trip.
The food in Insadong street is very good as well.
