Blue House -kierrokset

Seoul City Tourin Lily oli aivan mahtava. Hän vietti syntymäpäiväänsä kanssamme ja oli jatkuvasti täynnä energiaa, vieraanvarainen ja erittäin perillä Korean historiasta. Hän teki kokemuksesta todella vaivan arvoisen, ja suosittelen tätä ehdottomasti nähtävyytenä Korean-matkalla. Hän teki kokemuksesta todella unohtumattoman. Hän ottaa mielellään myös upeita kuvia, jos haluat valokuvia itsestäsi :)

We had a wonderful day with Jenny as our tour guide. It was very hot, and the pace of the tour was quite high! Jenny constantly checked to make sure everyone was doing okay in the heat. Thanks to the fast pace of the tour, we were able to see a lot in one day. Definitely recommended!

Soulin kaupunkikierroksen arvostelu: Kierros oli hieno kokemus ja esitteli joitakin Soulin parhaista nähtävyyksistä. Alusta loppuun kierroksella oli omistautunut ryhmä ja asiantunteva opas, joka puhui englantia koko ajan, mikä teki kaikesta helppoa seurata. Alhaisempi arvosana vastineesta rahalle johtuu ainoastaan Klookin ja muiden varaussivustojen välisestä erosta; huomasin, että minua veloitettiin lähes kaksinkertainen hinta verrattuna joihinkin, jotka olivat käyttäneet TripAdvisoria; tämä ei ollut matkanjärjestäjien vika, vaan pikemminkin oma virheeni, koska en tehnyt enempää tutkimusta – kaikki itse kierroksessa sujui hyvin, ja tiimi toteutti vankan, melko hyvin organisoidun päivän 8 tunnin matkasuunnitelmasta huolimatta. Erityinen kiitos Hankille/Eugenenille, joka oli erinomainen työssään. Hän pysyi iloisena ja avuliaana erittäin kuumasta säästä huolimatta, ja hänen ammattitaitonsa teki kierroksesta paremman. Yhteenvetona suosittelisin kierrosta kaikille, jotka haluavat nähdä Soulin tärkeimmät kohokohdat ystävällisen, englantia puhuvan oppaan kanssa. Muista vain vertailla kaikkia vaihtoehtoja parhaan vastineen saamiseksi ;)

I joined this tour last Thursday and had such a great time! The tour was really interesting and enjoyable, and we even got lucky with perfect weather. June was a fantastic guide and you could tell he has a lot of experience. There were quite a few people in the group, but the headset made it really easy to hear everything. He also did a great job of making sure everyone was keeping up and enjoying the tour. The two hours went by so quickly. I learned a lot about Korea and really enjoyed hearing the stories behind the places we visited. It wasn’t just a light touristy tour. There was actually a lot of interesting history and context, which I really appreciated. I’m really glad I did this tour and would definitely recommend it!

I’m especially glad I included this tour in my visit to Seoul. It offered a different perspective on the city and introduced me to an important part of Korea’s recent history. Exploring the places associated with its path toward democracy added depth to my trip and gave me plenty to think about afterward. Gina made the experience especially memorable. Her explanations helped me follow the sequence of events and understand how the different locations fitted into the bigger story. I enjoyed discovering the significance of places I might have overlooked and seeing the city through a different lens. The subject matter was sometimes heavy, but that was also what made the tour worthwhile. It invited reflection and helped me appreciate the people and struggles behind modern Korea. For anyone who enjoys learning about the destinations they visit, this tour is a rewarding way to spend time in Seoul. Many thanks to Gina for guiding us through such an important chapter of the country’s history.

Loistava retki erinomaisen oppaan kanssa! Reitti oli hyvin järjestetty, ja oppaamme Heather oli ystävällinen, asiantunteva ja teki kokemuksesta nautinnollisen. Retken hinta on kohtuullinen.

Paul was very helpful in making suggestions and was very knowledgeable in answering a wide variety of questions. We did see some beautiful sights and views with his suggestions. Personally, I thought going up Namsan would be minimal walking (ha!). Maybe there is another way to do it. 😀 A very nice trip to be sure.

Alo was very knowledgeable and extremely friendly. He gave us a memorable and wonderful experience throughout the ride.

Eugene was an amazing guide. He kept us all very entertained while explaining everything. Time management wise he also had everything under control even though we had some people that missed the deadlines which caused delays. Overall also the tour itself is highly recommended. Lastly as this was a bit special the transfer to another tour group for the afternoon program worked like a charm again thanks to Eugene but also thanks to Eddie of the new group. Eddie similar to Eugene also did a fantastic job.
