“Sweet and accommodating ”
Alice organized a nice tour for the whine day. I wanted to go to the Gangnam Style Sculpture and it was very interesting all the walk from the Temple to the Coax place. Took me for skin care store and we had an authentic Korean lunch, for us it was too spicy. I highly recommended her for being so patient and attentive with us. Thank you Alice.

“Five hours in Seoul”
Alice showed us the most iconic places in Seoul before we had to catch our flight. She even took us to the airport! We did a modified version of her history tour which allowed us to visit the castle, Hanok village, Gamcheon, and the riverwalk. We were hoping to squeeze in Korean bbq but ran out of time. Thank you, Alice, for the stories, history lessons, and the rides. We wouldn’t have been able to cover as much ground without you!
Alice K.
Hello Jean!! How have you been? I believe you’ve arrived safely at your destination and are now back to your peaceful daily life. Thank you so much for leaving me such a kind review. I trust that your caring husband and your lovely daughter, who looks like a teenager, are doing well too. I hope you’ll visit again with even more wonderful travel plans next time. When you do, I’d love to introduce you to some delicious Korean food. Take care and stay healthy! Best Regards. From Alice.

(Full day) Follow the clouds to the blue sea
I introduce Gangneung, one of the most popular destinations for couples from Seoul. Gangneung has become a cultural and educational hub as the birthplace of outstanding scholars. Yi I, a renowned scholar, was born in Gangneung and appears on the 5,000-won Korean banknote. Moreover, his mother, Shin Saimdang, who is regarded as a model of a wise mother, is featured on the 50,000-won banknote. In Korea, waters of the East Sea are the cleanest. That is why people love to travel to the East Sea.
