I ended up getting a private one-on-one tour with Ben on my final day in Korea and it could not have gone better! I learned so much about the palace as well as Korean culture that gave content to a lot of the other sites I had seen that week. He was very knowledgeable and spoke great English. He also knew all the best spots for pictures and gave interesting perspective on the sites outside of what you would get on a typical tour. Definitely worth the time and money!
