Me and my mom enjoyed the tour, I think the best part of the tour was our guide Jessica. She is so energetic and even it was rainy during our tour day, she was like a sun with her interesting stories. I learned a lot about Jeju island and its culture. Jessica was kind to take our pictures and explain everything needed. Atmosphere was so good, I really recommend it 👍
