I enjoyed traveling with our tour guide Steven and the small group of 3 tourists in total. Steven brought us to many beautiful places, took great pictures for us, and got the lunch well prepared for us! Time for each place was sufficient, and we had good rest during the car journey.

Having experienced Steven’s exceptional guidance on Jeju West tour, I was thrilled to join another Jeju East Tour today—and he did not disappoint! Once again, his knowledge of Jeju’s history, culture, and hidden gems made the trip truly unforgettable. From the mesmerizing views of Seongsan Ilchulbong (Sunrise Peak) to the tranquil beauty of Folk village, every moment was enriched by his engaging storytelling and passion for the island. His ensured that the group felt comfortable and took the time to personalize the experience for each guest, even remembering small details from the previous day! If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond to make your Jeju adventure special, Steven is the perfect choice. Two days with him, and I already feel like I’ve seen the best of Jeju!

his tour was absolutely unforgettable! Exploring Jeju West with Steven felt less like a tour and more like a warm, personal learning experience. His knowledge of Jeju’s history, culture, and nature made every stop meaningful, and his warm demeanor made it feel like I was traveling with family—he genuinely felt like an uncle guiding me through his hometown! Not just his knowledge in Korea but in other countries and general. From the breathtaking views to the hidden gems he pointed out along the way, everything was perfectly paced and tailored to our interests. I especially appreciated how he shared fascinating stories and insights that you wouldn’t find in guidebooks. I’m so impressed and satisfied with the experience that I’ve already booked the Jeju East tour for tomorrow, and I’m thrilled that I’ll get to explore more with Steven again. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Jeju! Thank you sir for the food, snacks, hydration, postcards, and memories! **photo with steven and other tourist from england**

We had a fantastic day with Steven, excellent driver and tour guide. The places we visited (forests, mountains, beach, villages, etc.) and the food (black pork) were all amazing.
