Of all the tours I did in my 28 days here in South Korea, our guide Bobby is someone I’d go with again. His sentence construction with English is so refined, even better with most Americans. Thing is he is also well learned with the history and is very honest. He engaged everyone in the group that led us to ask very relevant questions about the history and culture. Because of his enthusiasm I think the group just became comfortable with each other, which actually was what I felt about this trip. Gyeonju was rich and beautiful, Bobby adjusted the times so we can see it’s beauty in all facets possible.

I only took this trip to go to South Korea's Yangdong Folk Village 경주양동마을. In fact, the tour guide Kelvin has a very high CP value. He is a literary young man who explains the historical stories of the scenic spots very carefully. The weather was very hot and he took the trouble to take pictures for us.

the tour guys are amazing. Bruce was fully educated in history and has a talent when he connected our culture to Korean one to understand Korean culture. I really enjoyed the trip. it’s like reading tens of books about history religion and cultural and finally society. I love it and love the beautiful scenery at the sunset. it was surreal and stunning.

I accidentally saw the sharing of this one-day tour on YouTube and decided to sign up to see the scenic spots. My Chinese tour guide is Jinjin, she is really attentive. In addition to reminders to gather before departure, there are also reminders to bring an umbrella in response to the weather forecast. The itinerary during the trip was very clear and explained in detail. I was participating in a one-day tour alone, and Jingzhen would take the initiative to help take photos during free activities at the scenic spots. I am very satisfied with Lüchen overall. Even though there are several attractions, I have enough time to see each attraction and I will not rush through it. Although the whole journey takes a long time, you won’t feel very tired. It's a pity that the weather was not beautiful and it rained all day long, otherwise the scenery would have been more beautiful.

The tour guides on this day were Song and Daniel. Song was the English speaking guide and she is amazing! She is very knowledgeable about the locations we visited. Also made good recommendations for dinner.

He introduced the cultural monuments in detail, helped take photos, and took everyone to eat delicious Korean food. Thanks again to the tour guide for helping to find my mother (the old man was running around).
