Seoul tour with Lizzy - Our guide, Lizzy, was friendly and knowledgeable. She took group pictures and individual ones for whoever asked for them. She explained South Korea’s past clearly and was full of useful tips for our stay. We enjoyed everything from the visit to the temple to the change of the guards at the palace. The lunch was tasty in a nice restaurant.
