Beautiful Jeju-do. - We enjoyed a great time on the Jeju Island Private Tour - Unesco Day Tour & Haenyeo Performance from Jeju Namyang Travel out of Seowipo-si. Mr. Ko (Ko Su Hong) was an excellent driver, guide and friend. He made sure we were able to see everything on our list and suggested a great Korean BBQ restaurant. The Seonsan Ilchulbong, Seongeup Village, Jeongbong Waterfall, Oedolage and Olle Market were very entertaining. We were happy and he was happy! Mr. Lee (Lee Hong Min), the Manager at Namyang was very helpful and understanding for all of our arrangements and questions. A very professional company that is highly recommended. Thank you so much, Gentlemen!

Great intro to Jeju island. - Great introduction to the island and many of the beautiful hikes. We walked over 10 km going to all the trails the driver took us. The driver was very helpful, speaks English but does not tour with you. He was very helpful during lunch. All entry fees are not included but it is clearly stated so no problem. Highly recommend for introduction.

Wonderful Jeju, Amazing Guide! - Mr Lee is a wonderful guide who became our friend by the end of our 5 day stay in Jeju. He was introduced by my cousin, and we totally leave our entire itinerary in Jeju to him to plan.
On our first day of arrival, we just want to roam around our hotel area. As it was raining when we arrived, and it was not check in time yet, Mr Lee was kind enough to call up the hotel after picking us up from the airport to request for early check-in. And before he dropped us at the hotel, he drove around the area to orientate us, recommended several nice eateries. And indeed, we had a very sumptuous and delicious Korean BBQ Black pork at a restaurant he recommended. For the next few days, he was constantly checking the weather (from traffic cctv, to his contacts) to ensure that we visit places which are not affected by the weather. As such, we managed to cover many beautiful sites despite unfavorable weather during our visit. He also brough us to eateries where only local will go to so that we can have a taste of authentic Jeju cuisine. It was certainly part of the entire package to truly experience Jeju. Mr Lee was jovial, and joked a lot with us along the way, making the entire journey very pleasant. And as mentioned by some other reviewers, he never fails to take initiatives to take photos for us. Not just simple photos, but very artistic ones where he position himself in awkward positions, to get the best angle. He even checked on us to ensure that we are alright when we flew back to Seoul for the remaining part of our holidays.
Thank you so much Mr Lee! You've made our stay in Jeju very memorable.

Re-visiting amazing Jeju with Namyang Travel - This was my second visit to Korea with my family along with my buddy's fam. And this also happens to be my second time engaging Mr. Lee as our driver/tour guide for Jeju. After 9 long years, we are so happy to see his big friendly smiley face again. With him around, we were treated with the nicest of food, great scenic places and plentiful of happy and interesting conversation about life and history about Jeju, which created loads of wonderful moments especially for our kids. We did a customized tour with him, knowing where we want to go in advance. However, you can be assured he will be able to provide you an unforgettable experience if you happen to be a first-time visitor. Mr. Lee is a sincere, humble and down-to-earth person whom try to please you as much as he can to make your trip memorable.

Fantastic Jeju Namyang Travel & unforgettable tour service by Mr.Lee Hongmin - Fantastic Jeju Namyang Travel & unforgettable tour service by Mr.Lee Hongmin
My second trip to Jeju Island was successful and touching for all of us.I revisited Jeju Island, which I had visited a long time ago, with my friends.
The first be moved started at Jeju Airport. Because, There was no airport pickup in our reservation. When everyone was worried about going to the accommodation with an exhausted body and large luggage, there was a man holding my name card in front of me.
It was really surprising and nice. At that time, the man who approached me smiling was Mr. Lee Hongmin
It was truly touching for us, who were tired from the long journey, and we applauded their consideration.
I was able to comfortably check in to my accommodation without waiting to catch a taxi.
And, he changed the tour start time to the next day for us who were tired, Mr. Lee guided us to a place in Jeju where we could comfortably walk and see the beautiful sea.
We were all happy and entertained by his meticulous consideration and bright smile.
The second be moved was the food.
Local food that you can't miss when traveling... It's reliable, delicious, and reasonably price.
Local home cooking, fresh duck shabu-shabu (it was my first experience), seafood stew, etc. All the food in Jeju was delicious.
The third point that touched me was that he was always with us.
When we arrived at the attraction, he took a picture first, bought a ticket, and then walked and talked with us.
Anyone can see that he was different from other jeju taxi tour drivers.
So, we were able to trust and enjoy the trip more.
He was a young taxi driver and he always did his best and was sincere to us.
We think it was our greatest luck to meet him on our revisit to Jeju.
We will definitely visit Jeju again and will definitely ask him to be our driver.
Thank you Mr Lee and Jeju Namyang Travel Team.
You are truly the best and We truly appreciate everything.

Amazing driver and tour! - The driver Mr. Kim was the best. Friendly and caring and extremely professional. We got lost in the night after our tour and couldn’t find a taxi and he sent a friend as a gift to get us on track. The sites were breathtaking. The tour was efficient as we moved at our pace with his guidance. Highly recommended it as it was well worth it! Jeju is phenomenal. We will be back. Thank you! kansameda!
