The southern tour was awesome! Elin "with a red cap" (: she was amazing! She was so friendly and took great pictures! Loved her! The alive museum was so fun! Just to be warned the first hike is pretty tough, lots of stairs its a straight incline the whole way! But the view up top is worth it! Overall totally worth the time and money!

It is hard to move around Jeju island without an international driver’s license, but thanks to our driver Terry we were able to visit some fantastic places and beautiful nature spots that would have been hard to reach by public transport.

Wonderful tour! I did the eastern tour and it was one of the best tour experiences I have ever had. Lucas took. The four of us around in a car. To the locations in the eastern tour and let us explore at our own pace but was incredibly knowledgeable and answered all of our questions and gave us back story on the history of Jeju island. 100% would reccomend.

The tour was incredible, because the places are impressive and the guide Elin was very kind and her explanation was very clear, in addition, she took us to an extra place because the weather prevented us from seeing the views that for me were also very good, the food very rich in general the service is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ highly recommended.
