The tour was fun. Sam, the tour guide, is very energetic. He gives us information on the places we visited. Kaylee also ensured I was able to join the tour. She responded to my queries quickly as well.

It's not bad for a day trip. We traveled by car and by chance we ended up in a team with Koreans, so we were assigned a guide who could speak Korean. Since I was an unplanned traveler, it was even better because we could do the tour the next day. It was even more convenient because they told us the schedule via KakaoTalk!
