Lucas is very punctual and will share some knowledge about Jeju with us on the way. The itinerary is rich and we visited the scenic spots in eastern Jeju in one day, giving us an unforgettable experience. The transfer vehicles are very comfortable, making it easy to get around in comfort even on hot summer days.

we did the western tour with tourguide Elin. she was a wonderful guide: super friendly, learned everyone’s names, was super clear in her descriptions and instructions. she also took the time to check in on us, since the weather was very hot. the tour itself is really nice. the views are amazing and we wouldn’t have been able to see them by ourselves. the driver mr. Kim did a good job as well.
