Highly recommended if you’re down for a short time. Had great fun, our tour guide I call him Seonsaengnim Steven was just delightful, he was very patient, meticulous in explaining everything and anything about our trip. Very cheerful and bubbly, he made our trip very lively, attended to all our questions and needs. He even gave us free basic Korean language lesson which was cute. Jeju Island is such a beautiful small island, rich in culture, insane landscape, view was just beyond spectacular, we are very happy and glad to be able to explore a wee bit of it, will be back for the rest of it in the future. Bringing the rest of my family next time around, and hopefully this tour trip will still be here, or even better! Thank you. ❤️

Steven was our tour guide and he made the daytrip very comfortable and enjoyable! He is very knowledgeable and taught us a lot of interesting facts/history related to the spots we visited as well as the Korean language. Even though the weather was not the best in the morning, Steven slightly but quickly adjusted the itinerary thinking of everyone’s safety (which we all appreciated!)
If I visit Jeju again, I would definitely choose him as my tour guide. He is also a good very photographer so if you get him as a guide, ask him to take pictures of you!!

There are two main lines for individual group sightseeing day tours in Jeju Island starting from the city: the east line and the south line. You can freely choose from 4 collection points and two group drop-off points (Silla Duty Free store, Dongmen Market).

Peter Kim was assigned to be our guide and he contacted us one day before and ensure we have the pick up venue and timing. We only completed 2 attractions on the itinerary today as most attractions at southern Jeju were closed due to bad weather ( effect of Typhoon Kong-Rey). Peter was trying hard to adjust the itinerary and substitute with other activities for us. He also gave us a lot of visit Jeju’s tips especially foods and places to visit. we are very thankful for all his effort and get Peter as your guide if can!
