Great quick survey trip of Easter Korea giving some highlights. Best stop was Hahoe folk village... beautiful. Long road trip but interesting scenery and stops. Justin Choi was great as guide with humor and good history knowledge. Could have skipped Pyeonchang Olympic site as nothing's there anymore and spend more time at Mt Seoraksan or other location. Good for first timer visit.

We did our own tour, reading ahead of time and as we walked across the bridge. The area is beautiful and has a dark history that is definitely worth researching about ahead of time.

Loved going on the boat trip. Would definitely do it again. Could have used much more time at the 'farm' just to relax and poke around. The 'farm' was not what we expected. Thought we would have interaction with locals who would explain things to us but we still enjoyed it. While eating our lunch, we felt like we were in "Survivor". So cool. Good food. Just do it - you'll enjoy it.

In order to visit all the beautiful and historical cities outside of Seoul, we knew we need to join a bus tour and after reviewing all the tours out there, we booked K-Shuttle. Our group was a fun and punctual group of people, so with all the long ride going to one city to another, it wasn’t that bad. All the places we go to were places that all the locals will go for their getaway too, so it was nice to see that not everything are made for foreign tourists. Our guide, Cooper, was very helpful and informative, he brought his binder that filled with printed pictures of what is necessary for us to know about his lovely country, South Korea and also the places that we will visit. I would recommend K-Shuttle for sure to my friends back home.
