the tour guide, Sabrina, was very eloquent in both English and Mandarin and was very well versed in conversational topics which made the trip interesting (and bearable as the ride there was so long). the view were amazing and the experience of wearing the hanbok was fuss-free and fun!

Truly an unforgettable and fantastic trip, very interactive and informative. Grateful for Mr Yohan for trying his best to make sure our needs are well met, he has been very friendly and helpful. Unlike other trips where tour guide may wait at entrance/ exit, he followed and helped us to take a lot of photos. Highly recommend for Mr. Yohan!

First of all I would like to say thank you to Zoe for being a really nice tour guide. Although the itenerary had completely changed due to the cherry blossoms not yet fully bloomed, she tried her best to find us an alternative location. The main reason I booked this tour was for the Jeonju hanok village and it was good to finally visit it. However, I wish we had more time to explore the hanok village because the area is actually huge and the time given to us was not enough.

My guide Zoey has been a very experienced and detailed lady. She is helpful and amended the itinerary so that our group will definitely get to take pictures of fully bloomed cherry blossoms. Her reccomendation of Bibimbap lunch at Jeonju has been wonderful too!
