Review for: English tour guide

I really got to feel the charm of Korean palaces thanks to the tour guide dressed in traditional Korean clothing. The guide was so kind, and the audio drama segments in between made it such a unique experience. It was even better because I could see the royal guard ceremony before the tour started!

Review for: English tour guide

The guide's English wasn't very good, and the tour content was lacking. It was also disappointing that they didn't take good photos. Their voice was very soft, which led to customers constantly having to ask questions. It was quite disappointing.
