Phil was very meticulous in ensuring that everyone arrived before departing from Myeongdong Station and Everland. He even contacted us a day prior to remind us about the meetup details and the apps to download. He was also very informative, sharing details about the Everland map and how to navigate around the park. Overall, it was a good experience.

I enjoyed this trip very much, the tour was well paced and visited very interesting destinations. Thistour was also very unique as our tour guide Peter Pan was very well-informed about the history of Korea and is an amazing story teller. It feels as if I have time travelled back to the Joseon era as he explained about the place and connected the dots for us. Definitely will recommend this tour for those who wants to not just sight see but to immerse themselves in the experience. Plus point Peter is really good at taking photos (100 points!)

We really enjoyed our tour with Peter Pan. He was very informative and engaging. Something we really appreciate is that he didn't rush us. He would patiently wait for us to catch up at our own pace.
