Seoul day trip to Mt. Seorak and Nami Island with A/C round-trip transport, English-speaking guide, ferry, and optional Rail Bike.
“This was far from a “guided tour” more just like a transportation to and from places. Our tour guide (who was also the driver) picked us up in a van, not a bus. We were so crowded there were people seated in the front seat. Ruby was a nice girl, but I would qualify her more as a smiley driver. She gave us 5 min introductions before dropping us completely on our own on places. She drove erratically and on the way back, we were dropped in the middle of the street because she wanted to avoid a 5 min turn. We were exposed to exit the crowded van at…”
A private DMZ day trip from Sokcho with Chan, starting at Korean War exhibits, ending with North Korean lunch and a traditional village.
“I've been working in Korea for the last two years, so I've been to the DMZ several times. This past summer, my dad came to Korea for the first time to visit me, and he expressed an interest in visiting the DMZ himself. However, because I had been to the DMZ several times, he wanted to find a tour that was different than the tours that I'd been on in the past. Chan's tour was exactly that for us! The tour was very different than other DMZ tours that I have been on, and it provided a much deeper insight into the history of the DMZ. We also had a…”
