“Sally was a great guide in Seoul ”
We love spending the day with Sally as she guided us through the historic parts of Seoul. She really loves Korea and you can tell the pride that she has in her country. She also guided us through some of the Korean beauty shops and helped me navigate the sometimes overwhelming selection. I would highly recommend using her as a guide. She speaks English beautifully and has an amazing personality. We all loved her.
