I had an amazing day! I loved the waterfalls and the beach. Our guide Steven was really helpful when there was an issue with me not being on the list in the morning. He made sure I could still join the tour & he showed me arround when I arrived at the first destination a bit late. 10/10 would recommend this tour with Steven!

Very convenient and easy to book. Car is very clean and fresh. Sunny is a great guide. She communicates well and handles the timing and duration of the tour very well. Shw recommends places and we went also to places that only locals know.

I had such a great experience with our tour guide, Jina. She is so nice and shared so much information, not only about Jeju’s culture and heritage, but also shopping tips, the best things to do, and even what we should try at each place. She was both very friendly and professional, and her calm, clear voice made everything easy to follow. This was actually my first solo trip, so I was a little nervous about getting lost but with Jina, that never happened. She was always around, making sure everyone felt safe and comfortable. I really appreciated that sense of care. The places she brought us to were all so beautiful (lots of stairs to climb, haha!) but I enjoyed every moment of it. A big thank you also to our driver (7108) for driving us safely all around Jeju. I truly appreciate both of you, and I wish you good health, endless happiness, and many more wonderful journeys ahead. 🌸🍊
