Nancy was a super nice guide, would love to go again on a different tour with her if I had the chance. The tour was nicely planned and interesting. We visited three different locations, souvenir shops and could try local snacks. Would recommend.

It was a great tour, Gyeongju was a great city to visit. Our tour guide Mimi, was amazing from the moment she picked us from our hotel to every step of the visit and really tried to make the best trip possible for us.

I actually visited Korea in September of 2019 but the system would only allow me to select as far back as Dec. Justin was practically perfect. The weather was touch and go during the week (thanks Typhoon LingLing), but he was extremely flexible the entire way through. He let me dictate the locations, the poses, the time, and everything in between. This was a solo trip and a birthday photoshoot I was planning. Justin made absolutely sure that I looked amazing for my big day. The edits had a surprisingly fast turnaround with stunning work as well. I’m African American and sometimes photographers don’t consider my complexion when taking photos in the bright light. Justin didn’t have that problem at all and didn’t try to “brighten” my skin when taking or editing the photos. I would highly recommend him and would have him take my photos again without a second thought. He was also a pleasure to be with and a positive companion for the last days of my trip.

We are in Seoul for 6 weeks, and I have to say this is one of my BEST days so far. I took my 7 year old daughter, and we clocked 11 miles today and she was a champ!! We had Ray as our tour guide, and was just the absolute best. It was actually pretty crowded the day we went since it was a holiday weekend, but he helped us to navigate the crowds and went out of his way to make sure everyone was comfortable. My daughter even left her iPad in his car after he dropped us off at a meeting point. We panicked, called tripadvisor, and he drove it back 30 minutes later on his own time. What a guy!! He was also so knowledgable. As far as the sights you will take in- BREATHTAKING! I have travelled all over the world, and this was just unbelievable. The cable car was full at Mt. Seorak, but instead Ray hiked us up to a waterfall that we wouldn't have had time to see otherwise. The views!!! Nami island is a must do- it was just adorable and everything about it was magic. DO THIS TOUR! You will not be sorry!!!! If you are looking to get out of the city for the city for a day and experience nature, this is the perfect way to do it.

The activity itself was great! Enjoy all the attraction points. Must go if u like animal and nice scenery. Couldnt find the bus at first as it was park to the side in a small road. But guide added us to a whatsapp group which is convenient to keep in touch. Also the bus broke down (due to very cold weather) at the beginning and the whole bus smelled of oil and smokes. Alternate bus took 30mins to arrive but all was good. Manage to follow the itinerary to the dot. Lunch at Nami Island (optional upon arrival via guide reccomendation) was not fresh at all. Morning calm should go after sundown to catch the lights. But web we were there alot of spots were cordoned off under renovationl) All in all, the guide was helpful, nice, fluent in english n chinese and quick to address our problem. Bonus is : free water and yummy cheese cake for breakfast!
