This was our second excursion to Jeju with the best tour guide ever, Elin. From start to finish, everything was organized perfectly. Elin not only showed us the sights but also told us a lot of useful and interesting information about Jeju and its inhabitants, inserted funny and appropriate remarks, handed out gifts and korean snacks. On a rainy and windy day she managed to make it bright and memorable, and on a sunny day - simply dazzling. 10💥

This tour is suitable for individual who is able to conquer the beautiful Hallasan mountain standing at the height of 1169m. Good to go with local tour as we are guided well throughout the journey. Our guide Lowell did a good job in explaining the itinerary for the day. Thks Klook for this recommendation.

We took the east Tour. Elin was a wonderful and fun guide! Her explanations at the destination were great and she gave us the choice to join her at each spot or go at our own pace. Instructions for the meet up at each place was communicated and in our group the people were on time. When we come back to Jeju, I would like to have her as our guide again! The show of the divers had to be cancelled because of high waves but Elin took us to the themed museum instead. I believe that this change is fix since the show will be cancelled many times a year, but it shows that the company thinks their tour through and have an alternative ready. We had a great day on Jeju. Recommend this tour and tour guide.
