This tour was the perfect fit for doing a lot in a little bit of time! We booked the half day tour and was amazed at how much we were able to see without the hassle of navigating to each place given we were flying out of Korea later that afternoon. The two highlights for me was the changing of the guard at Gyeongbokgung Palace and the Korean Ginseng Center since I love ginseng! I was able to snag some for home as well! Sunny was a very informative tour guide and I highly recommend this tour if you are trying to make the most of a half day in Korea!

Kelly was the best tour guide!!! It was our first day in Korea and we had my 84 year old FIL with us. We were worried about the heat and all of the walking. This tour was amazing. We were able to see all of the highlights and learn about the culture. Kelly was super informative and we learned so much that we wouldn’t have known if we did this on our own. Not only was she a wealth of knowledge, but Kelly was also very caring. She always made sure my FIL was comfortable. Would highly recommend Kelly and this tour!
