Elin/ Yun San is a dedicated and warm guide who went out of her way to make sure we have an enjoyable time. She treated us local snacks and took almost-professional pictures so we could just relax and have a good time. I was travelling with my mom (it was a big group of 37 people that day) but we all felt well taken care of. No mean feat for this Jeju mama! Thank you, Elin for such a wonderful time! My mom said she was really happy with your dedication during our lunch. You made sure we were all well-fed and happy! Thank you for taking pictures and care of us! I think YEHA travel is a reliable tour agency!

Black Pork lunch was yummy and they allow free refill of meat and side dish if it is not enough. Restaurant even gave free coffee. Even though we didn’t get to watch live diver show due to strong waves, we managed to visit the museum and took some photos. Tour guide Angella is funny and we like her.

Our tour guide, Elin, was very helpful and walked with us & acted as our group's photographer throughout the day trip despite the rain. If you need to look for day tour in Jeju, go for it!

Our tour guide Angella with two L's was super cheerful and welcoming. We had a blast on the east tour and enjoyed seeing what Jeju has to offer. Angella, was organised, knowledgeable, and spoke fluently. 감사해요

We did the West and South tour with Elin and Kevin and had the best day!! When booking all of the information and communications were clear and the tour bus easy to find. Elin was a ball of energy and took the time to remember everyone’s names despite having her hands full with running the tour. It was engaging and entertaining and would definitely recommend. We love Elin! The buffet lunch is also absolutely worth the price.

The tour had perfect choice of locations to visit. I just feel like we didn't have enough time for each spot but still enjoyable. It was convenient since we were only 5 adults with my daughter in the trip. Our tour guide Lucas was nice and gave us enough time and clear instructions.
