Very interesting and thought-provoking. It must be exhausting for North Korea to keep up this ruse for almost 70 years. Although Covid 19 has put a damper on the DMZ tours, our guide made the best of it. She was well prepared with tickets, directions, and instructions.
2. Let’s go K-beauty tour!
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1 reviews
K-Beauty cosmetic shopping is certainly no.1 to do in Myeongdong. But as there are so many brands and color choices, many foreigners get confused very easily. So I planned this tour to help you buy the right cosmetics in reasonable prices. I will recommend cosmetics that are the best-selling or trendiest at the moment among Koreans. Also, together I will help you choose a foundation that fits your skin tone and buy a shadow that matches your skin tone. We'll do the most successful shopping in Korea!
Inclusions: street food
Exclusions: dinner, shopping

Me and my husband went on a rainy day and met up with our guide the lovely art student Chitty. We wend to two interesting markets and looked at the Han-River. Unfortunately it was a bit rainy, (we went in December, so no surprise there!) Afterwards we saw the seafood market and an old traditional market, we had SO MUCH FUN!!!! We are usually very open to crazy foods, so we even dared to try the silkworms which are considered a nice wintertreat. Even if you are not so open minded culinariy, it is still so nice to go. The trip felt like our friend is showing us her favorite Korea Seoul spot. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and WE WILL BOOK AGAIN!!!!

Our tour guide was incredible. We really enjoyed learning and visiting this part of Korea. It was eye opening and a day I will never forget. Getting to go in the tunnel was exhilarating and definitely an amazing experience. The lunch was delicious and our tour guide even helped us make some phone calls to attend a video game competition.

My tour was lead by Beth who is so sweet, knowledgeable and personable. I learned so much and had an amazing time. And Beth was so helpful, even taking the time to help me sort out my issue with my train to Seoul. And I am grateful to the company too as accommodations were made for me to be able to go on both the tours I booked with them. 10/10 on all three accounts.

We would already like to thank Lucas our Guide/Driver: very punctual, professional, attentive to our expectations. His advice is judicious and I recommend the restaurants he proposes: very good and local prices. His English is perfect, always smiling and respectful of the intimacy of the family. Concerning the tour, we had only 2 days on Jeju. It's really the best way to visit the island. Lucas adapted the tour to meet our expectations. We didn't want to visit museum. Sunset included, it would have taken a third day to do the sunrise @ Seongsan Ilchulbong. The car was confortable and the driver wore his mask for our health the whole time.

The original itinerary is always up for your discussion and change. Plus, the tour guide can always offer you the best local restaurants!

The tour guide was not needed if we were given a map of the theme park. I was looking forward to looking at the Winery but oh what a disappointment, Just a few empty barrels and at the end of the short walk through the walk way to the wine bar. No free samples and certainly did not have a french feel with a picture of St Marks Square Italy. Would have liked to look around the gardens but was hurried to the next cable car to the the top to the theme park not impressed. I had high hopes for this trip but felt let down., More toilet stops on the way there would have been good due to medication I struggled. More for families. Disney land and still building work being carried out. Would advise not to go but go to and spend more time at Hue, I did like the views on the cable cars going up and down.
