Korean History and Shopping - An amazing tour! Yeoni was our tour guide and was great. We saw so many things in such a short amount of time. Our guide helped take photos and always gave us a meeting place in case someone got lost (which never happened because she was so careful). She even taught us some phrases in Korean.

Tour to please all your senses! - What a wonderful excursion! Yeoni, our tour guide, was very gracious, answered all our questions (and I had a lot) and super informative. Our group enjoyed the pace of the tour as well. The palace changing of the guard is impressive. The tour is simple sensory pleasure! Vivid colors, resonating sounds, amazing flavors and ambiance. Huge bang for your buck. The lunch....delicious!! Yeoni was a fun and energetic tour guide!!

A Memorable Experience. - Seeing the Changing of the Guards in the main Palace which was very colourful and a little bit different from Buckingham Palace. Lizzie our guide was knowledgeable and explained everything in English which I know is very difficult for a Korean Citizen. Lunch was a bonus with this tour and a little trip to the Korean Ginseng Centre was another bonus.
