Reviews
Our Guide Maria was really great. She's fluent in English and taught us a lot about the local history and culture. She was funny and easy going. Even though the castle itself was under restoration after the fire, she showed us around every part that was open to the public and also explained in detail how the restoration process was going. Because of the rain she offered us to skip some walking and take a cab, but we opted to walk instead. She took care of us so we didn't walk into any spider webs and made sure we didn't slip on the wet rocky path. The lunch was amazing, it was a very nice restaurant that we would've never discovered without her. Overall an amazing tour with a lovely guide. 10/10 would recommend
Had a wonderful day thanks to my guide Sarah. must to do activity in Naha. The 4 hour tour ended with a delicious okinawa lunch
Sarah, the tour guide, was fantastic. Her knowledge and storytelling made every moment of the tour eye-opening and enjoyable.
Our tour guide Sara was down to earth and personable. Made for a memorable tour of Shuri castle and the surrounding area.
Travelers who want to deeply understand Seoul can slowly see and understand through the explanation of the tour guide, which is a very different experience. I like it. It would be great if there were more language options.
