Super guide Steven, we are very impressed by his professionalism and his kindness to still hold on the trip even we are only 2 persons due to the other group can't shown up before the trip start. We are very happy and have an amazing trip with him. He is very attentive person, taking care of his guests, giving snacks and water (even chilled it ice cool) since we have very hot weather. He also takes photos & video for us. We appreciate that a lot. Even more, he gives us extra suggestions for our trip after since we are seeking advice on what to eat and go after our daily trip. For the lunch, he is very nice to ask what kind of food we prefer, so he let us choose in between 2 kinds of restaurants. Moreover, he is very flexible and patient to give me more time, since I prefer stay longer at the beach. I also feel that he really take into concern what is interest us and change 1 of the visit spot to fit into our interest. We even have a great time together, since we decide to invite him for dinner to thanks him to do so much for us. We are definitely having an unforgettable Jeju trip special thanks to him during this 2 days West & East trips. We recommanded him to all of you and we would give him 10 stars if the system allowed. Just join his trip, you will have chance to know such a great guide and a amazing trip. ++++++++++

This was a fantastic, well-organised, concise tour of southwest Jeju which is good for both group and solo travellers. Steven is a great guide who pays careful attention to your safety and is fluent in both English and Mandarin. He selected good spots for the tour, each with appropriate time to enjoy, and paid close attention to our safety or needs (even providing snacks, water etc.). This is a great hassle free way to see the island and next time I come back to Jeju, I plan to join the eastern tour!

our Guide Steven was excellent. Right from the time we met at the starting point to the time we dispersed after the tour, he kept interacting and coordinating with the group very closely. he shared a lot of local information about the island and Korean culture and launguage in general. always had a wonderful smiling face. I would strongly recommend him as your guide for anyone who are travelling to Jeju Island and opting for a local tour.

The guide, Steven ,was very accommodating and friendly. His English and Chinese is very good and he answered any questions our tour group had. he was also interested in learning about other cultures and also teaching others about Korean culture. The itinerary was easy to follow and there was clear instructions given to us before and during the tour. My favorite part of the tour was 성산 and the traditional village . The tour was small which was good if you want to meet new people.I also met some really cool people from all other the world.

I would highly recommend this trip! It was really worthwhile to see all the sights and all in one day! Steven was a really kind guide and provided everything we needed, from charging cables in the car, to snacks. do detailed information about the island. We saw so many things in the West side tour and it was so convenient to use to tour to see so many things in one day without having to use public transport. The tour group was nice and even as a solo traveller, it wasn’t a problem. I was so glad to see so many amazing places and have such a good tour. Thank you!

I highly recommend this tour, especially for solo travelers and or those who do not have a car to travel around the island. Steven was a great guide and extreme thoughtful. He provided water and snacks during the tour and was a great source of information. Keep in mind that the tour is pretty active. It was a very hot day when I did this tour and I was really tired by the end but it was really with it!

The tour was a lot of fun and we got to do lots of activities. The fact that it was raining was not bothersome at all, I still recommend the tour nonetheless. Stephen is a very hardworking, kind and patient guide that took us all over the island and I don't think we could have had a better guide. We were a small group, wich allowed us to enjoy the trip in a more chilled and carefree way. I highly recommend this tour 😊
