Regarding the itinerary, we joined a tour that departed at 1 PM and visited three attractions in total, so there was no need to wake up early. We also didn't feel rushed; there was ample time at each attraction for us to explore at our leisure and take plenty of photos. Personally, I think this itinerary was excellent.
Furthermore, our tour guide for this trip was Ms. Lala. She picked us up directly from our hotel, so we didn't have to go to another hotel or meeting point, which was a very thoughtful arrangement. Since it was just the two of us on the tour, it felt like a private charter, which was fantastic value!
Ms. Lala is Korean, and we were pleasantly surprised by how fluent her Mandarin was. During our conversations, we learned that her entire family is Korean, and she, a young woman, taught herself Mandarin. While we were driving, she continuously explained Korean history to us, and she described the unique characteristics of each attraction very clearly. She also shared insights into local life, fulfilling all the roles a good tour guide should.
Additionally, Ms. Lala recommended some great places to eat. Based on her suggestion, we ended up trying the soy sauce marinated crab.
Throughout the entire trip, Lala was very polite and took excellent care of us. She constantly reminded us of various precautions, such as potentially slippery walking surfaces. She truly is a very attentive and polite young tour guide.
If you prefer a relaxed pace and want to comfortably visit attractions and enjoy the scenery without rushing, I highly recommend this tour.
