Our favorite part of this tour was the Luge for sure. We had lots of fun. We also enjoyed China Town and the food our tour guide recommended. Teddy was very punctual and organized. He had PowerPoints to introduce our destination and was very versed in English and Chinese. He is really good in communication and the tour went very smoothly.

It was a very happy day trip. The tour leader Teddy explained it clearly and was well prepared. Thank you for your guidance. The additional slide car was very affordable. I had a lot of fun playing it three times in a row. There were many seagulls on Wolmido Island and I took many beautiful photos.

Had a fun day riding luge, eating jajangmyeon, feeding sea gulls with prawn crackers and riding a rail bike. Was lucky the weather was perfect. Guide Sammi is so friendly and helpful. Only downside is that the tour is conducted in Chinese to cater to the Taiwanese and Hongkongers and I couldn't understand some of the terms used to describe location and items.

The tour guide Teddy was very nice and explained very carefully. Also share Korean culture. He will also take care of our slides and have fun. I will choose a similar travel method next time I come to Korea. Thank you.

Have a great time! Suki's Chinese is very good and her explanations are very detailed. It looked like there were many places, but the time was well arranged and there was no rush. I have played Luge 3 times and I think Track 2 is more fun because it has fewer corners and you don’t have to slow down frequently when entering corners. But the most important thing is that no one before has had a great time! 😆

Tour guide Jin is really a very good driver. He arranges every step very carefully. He also helps customers take photos, explains the features of scenic spots and introduces delicious restaurants. He manages the time very smoothly. This trip is very worth taking. , every scenic spot is worth it, and I want to continue to cooperate with Mr. Jin in the future.
