The shop was in a very easy to find location. It opened at 9:30 and was crowded as soon as it opened. I was able to rent it for 2.5 hours, so I had plenty of time. There were many spots to take photos, such as the Hanok Village, so I'm glad I rented it.

we were a group of 4 people and our sincere guide, Wonny who came to our hotel to pick up us with a 7-seater van. She was very polite and friendly and safely drove a long journey to our destinations in a very comfortable manner. She toured us and explained in detail of the sites. She also helped us taking a lot of group photos and leading us to a famous restaurant to taste the delicious traditional lunch. All in all, she was wholly devoted to her job and done very well with keen attitude towards her customers such that we all appreciated her working manner. We all enjoyed very much on this one day tour.

This trip to China was great, and our tour guide was also very cute, chatting and laughing with us cordially along the way. A Korean who can speak very good Chinese, introduced Korean culture and history to us along the way. Although it was a 3-hour journey, he professionally arranged a rest area for us to get off the bus and do some exercise. When we arrived at Jeonsan, a traditional Korean house and a small shop selling traditional and delicious souvenir cakes, he took us, 2 different families, a total of 7 people. I had a delicious Jeonju traditional Korean meal, which was quite delicious. The three scenic spots all have good views, especially the water pears and traditional pastries sold at the farmer market in the ecological park. They taste great and are worth a trip. trip to

It was a great day trip. Our tour guide Lio from Lecirt tour was a patient and caring Korean. He talked fluently with a group of five of us in Chinese and English along the way, which made me older. My parents felt quite cordial along the way. The tour guide arrived at the pick-up location on time and it took about 2 hours to reach the destination. The scenery along the way was quite beautiful. If I could visit in autumn and winter, I believe it would be even more shocking! It's quite a worthwhile trip to the countryside. My favorite is the Goseok Pavilion Flower Sea. The colorful and different flowers compete with each other, which makes people's eyes light up.

Jeonju and Jantaesan exceeded my expectation, thanks to my spirited and perky guide Kim Taeyoung aka Travis who's receptive and knowledgeable. I was so grateful that my tour pushed through despite a group of tourists from Mexico not showing up on time (they were late for 30 minutes at the meeting point; and they couldnt be contacted as well). Jeonju's Hanok Village takes you back in time - beautiful architecture, interesting history, and food! This is the origin of the Bibimbap, and I found a great place for it! when I couldn't find my way back to the parking lot, I asked Travis to pick me up - and he did! Thank you, my friend! Any tourist wld be lucky to have you as their guide! Jangtaesan's natural forest was refreshing, with metasequoia trees reaching the heavens. It's kinda like Nami, although Jangtaesan is a natural forest. I'd highly recommend this tour - for the Hanok Village, food, forest and the tour's very professional guide!
