YOO *****

It rained the day before, so the morning weather was chilly and a bit cold. Thank you for allowing us to check in and wait in the car immediately, instead of waiting outside at the meeting time. I was worried because my parents are older, but we had a fun time with the family on a comfortable tour, just like going out with friends. Our guide's photography skills were excellent 😆. Even my husband, who usually doesn't take pictures, was enthusiastically posing for our guide! Haha.

We had a wonderful day trip! Our driver, Mr. Liu, was very considerate of the elderly in our group, ensuring they didn't have to walk much to see many beautiful sights. His driving skills were excellent, and everyone had a great time. We'll definitely arrange another private car tour next time.

Our tour guide, Zhang Qing, was excellent! Their introductions were fantastic, and they offered many different tourist attractions. They even helped us take photos. If we have the chance, we hope to meet Tour Guide Zhang Qing again! ❤️

Had a wonderful tour with Kelvin as the guide. As our group consisted of both English and Mandarin speakers, Kelvin had to explain the itinerary and information in both languages. Despite that, he managed it very smoothly and even joked about it, which made the tour even more enjoyable. The time given at each place of interest was sufficient, allowing us to explore comfortably even though the attractions were quite crowded with tourists. Overall, it was a very pleasant and well-organized tour.

Our guide, Park Moon-young, provided so many explanations, and we were very grateful. After checking out of Yufuin, we left our luggage on the bus around 10 AM and had a very fulfilling day on the tour.

This program offered excellent value for money, allowing us to efficiently experience many places during a short trip, which was great. If given the chance, I think anyone would be satisfied using it at least once.
