I'm really glad that I've booked this tour. Our tour guide, Jun, did his best to make this tour a great experience - he was a driver, photographer, he showed us the best spots and he suggested where to get the best food - he didn't let us to miss JeonjuChocoPie experince. I got tired, I had a great time and I met amazing people during the tour. Definetly recommended.

I and my son had a lovely time in this tour. Everything was on time. Jeonju is a lovely historical place. Our tour guide Simon is very helpful. He recommended us to an awesome restaurant serving samgypsal and bibimbap. That was our first meal since we arrived in Seoul and it sorted our hunger away. I recommend this tour to those coming over to S. Korea. 🤗 LQ

Five stars transportation experience. No need to present the ticket to the personnel unless you have questions. If you’re lucky, you’d be seated where there are charging sockets or ports. The trains have places to put your luggage on. Seats are comfortable. There are tables for each. The views are a plus.
