South Korea Tour Reviews
Connie D.
“Day in busan”
Our guide was fabulous. Traffic was terrible but he stayed with it. Saw fabulous things and changes explained to us what we were seeing. He took us from the east side of the city all the way together the west side. We had lunch together in the fish market at his favorite restaurant. What a wonderful day
Changwoo Y.
Connie! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review! The rainy weather and the holiday traffic during Chuseok definitely made things a little more challenging, but I’m so happy to hear that you still had such a fun and meaningful day. I really enjoyed spending the day with you too. It honestly felt a little like traveling with my own parents. I especially loved how interested you were in Korean history and Busan. Sharing those stories with you was just as enjoyable for me! I really hope we get to see each other again if you come back to Korea someday. Or maybe, who knows, I’ll have a chance to visit Washington, D.C. one day! Haha. Thank you again, Connie and Jim. It was truly a pleasure meeting you, and I hope our paths cross again someday!

“Very enjoyable night going up and down the easy part of Achasan Mountain”
I didn't have any climbing experience but Hayoung paced us extremelly well. The view when we got to our planned spot was everything hoped for. And the descent was very easy as well. We then enjoyed a nice dinner at a restaurant close by the foot of the hill. It was a very enjoyable night, so much so that I hope to come back at some point soon to try climbing all the way to the top!

Hayoung Y.
Thank you for your kind review, Rafael! I was really happy to introduce you to the beautiful neighborhood where I live. I hope you've made many good memories in Korea. See you somewhere in the world next time:)

“Great complement to the historical tour Sally also offers”
This was my second of two tours with Sally. The idea was to go through the history and development of South Korea early on and then a few days later check the most modern and trendy spots in the more upscale neighborhoods in Seoul and it worked out exactly that way. Sally also arranged private transportation that turned the day a bit more comfortable, which was trully appreciated. The day went so well that it made me plan on returning to Seoul at some point soon to experience the cultural aspect (museums, art exhibitions and events) of the city in more depth than I did this time around.
Sally K.
Hi Rafael, Thank you so much for taking the time to write another lovely review! I hope you’ve made it home safely by now and are getting some well-deserved rest. I truly cherish the two days we spent together. They were so special to me, and I’ll always remember them. Just as you hoped and I promised, when you come back to Korea, I’ll show you even more and share many more stories with you. And of course, we still have to do the DMZ tour together! :D I already miss you. ㅜㅜ Have a great weekend and take good care of yourself! Best wishes, Sally
