self guided tours. Comfortable transportation. Nice, easy going
Leo is good to talk to.. he’s very helpful and informative.. the place we went to is also good.. worth it!
Itinerary was subject to tour guide's chages, should note that there will be traffic jam on the way back on Fridays and weekends. Personally felt that 2 hours at each site was not enough time to fully explore and capture the sights.
The tour was well planned and our guide Andrew was friendly and professional. He is very responsive to everyone’s questions. However since this tour requires a long bus ride of around 4 hours each way, would prefer if the bus was more comfortable. The bus was at capacity and there were a few seats there were without backrest and some even without enough leg room. I think this tour will be good if the bus was bigger or the operator can attempt to reduce the number of passengers.
the four-hour trip was worth it! Andrew the guide was really helpful. we were lucky to see plum blossoms. it's just unfortunate that we couldn't be dropped off in our pickup point because of traffic.
initially no clue where is Myeongdong Station Exit 4 pick up but after asking Tourist Information the day before, it was easy to walk there from our hotel. Glad we reached Gwangyang about 9am before the crowd. Needs a good pair of shoes for the slope walking. The flowers are still beautiful. The Jeonju Hanok Village not as interesting as I expect. Back in Myeongdong Station slightly before 8pm. The driver is good, punctual n drove safely throughout the trip. Roy is Korean and tried his best to explain to us.
Tour was quite fun, though the slopes at gwangyang maehwa festival were quite steep. guide Roy is friendly and nice! gives clear instructions too! the Maesil icecream is a must-have! :)
