The tour was very organized. Pick up time and location is on point. Hannah was very enthusiastic, knowledgeable and takes good pictures. The tour itself has a lot of history which I really like. Hannah let me see the famous passing of the train which is really fun. The drive is smooth and I felt safe. The best city tour and if you like to get good pictures book this tour!

It feels great to recall old memories. However, due to a technical error between Klook and the Conan event organizer, I had to wait a while to see it.

It's nice to take a quick look around. It's good to check out the places you've noticed and visit them. It's worth listening to the Korean explanations.
