This was such a fun experience! I've never been to Everland before and it was super easy to navigate. Our guide Kevin was wonderful. He was really fun and gave lots of helpful tips to better enjoy the park and experience. I will definitely book this again.

I’m especially glad I included this tour in my visit to Seoul. It offered a different perspective on the city and introduced me to an important part of Korea’s recent history. Exploring the places associated with its path toward democracy added depth to my trip and gave me plenty to think about afterward. Gina made the experience especially memorable. Her explanations helped me follow the sequence of events and understand how the different locations fitted into the bigger story. I enjoyed discovering the significance of places I might have overlooked and seeing the city through a different lens. The subject matter was sometimes heavy, but that was also what made the tour worthwhile. It invited reflection and helped me appreciate the people and struggles behind modern Korea. For anyone who enjoys learning about the destinations they visit, this tour is a rewarding way to spend time in Seoul. Many thanks to Gina for guiding us through such an important chapter of the country’s history.

Josh was on time and very professional. It was an extremely hot day and we were all sweating profusely, but he knew how to direct us and provide breaks by taking some solo shots of each family member. I was shocked at how well the photos turned out and how calm we looked because it didn’t feel comfortable at the moment. truly amazed by how he was able to capture our good moments.

Our tour guide and driver Hakim was very helpful and friendly. The whole trip from Myeongdong to Gangchon rail park and Legoland was smooth and pleasant. Highly recommend this tour for families with children.

Naro was very nice and I had a good experience at the Naksan Park! We got plenty of photos on the trails and the mountains, I didn’t have much trouble communicating and I felt I got some very nice photos out of the experience. I would recommend it for anyone who wants photos professionally done!

Great 4.0
The location is fantastic, very close to the Dongdaemun DDP station. Having a convenience store on the first floor was also very convenient. In the lobby area, amenities like toothbrushes and drinks such as coffee were provided. However, I never once encountered a hotel staff member. Since there is only one key card, you need to be careful not to get locked out. Also, upon checkout, there is a kiosk in front of the elevator outside the hotel's security door, and you need to use your key card to check out. There is a security card return box inside the door, but please be careful because once you return it, you won't be able to retrieve it. I doubt many people would do this, but I returned mine before checking out and couldn't complete the checkout process, lol.

Fantastic 5.0
Our 2 week stay in Korea went amazing thanks to Euljiro Co-Op!! The staff were all kind and attentive whenever we had questions. The rooms were always kept clean thanks to the daily trash collection and routine cleaning. It has your basic necessities covered from bath/foot/hand towels, bath slipper, shampoo, body wash, soap in the bathroom. The kitchen has cutlery & dishes, water boiler, microwave, induction should you need it. Plus each floor has a water dispenser for hot/cold water. The location is prime as we were walking distance to DDP station & the airport limousine bus (6001) stops directly in front of the accommodation. I recommend this place to people looking travelling with friends and solo travelers!! Best value that you can get for your money, will definitely be back again!!
