“Amazing tour with Joe Park! The tour was amazing and very well planned. Joe Park was polite, fun, attentive and knowledgeable. Taking into account it was expected to rain, he rearranged the stops so we could all make the best of the tour and almost avoided the rain altogether! I absolutely loved Nami Island and Garden of Morning Calm! Italian Village & Petite France are eye-catching and colourful, so they definitely deserve the visit too.
