Overall, I did enjoy the tour with our guide Elin! You can see that she likes her job and wants to share the Korean culture. There was an extra stop added to go taste a rice wine ans whisky, that was nice. The lunch was amazing. We were a Small group about 20 so that was nice to. If you don’t want to stress, do this tour, its quick and convinent and we learned a lot of history!

Book a tour with YEHA and you won't be disappointed. Each place is very far from each other. Buying a local tour saves a lot of time. The guide named Elin takes good care of us. There are snacks to eat. Try to contact customers before the travel day. The driver is also polite.

Had a great tour with Elin AKA "Jeju Mama". She really went out of her way to make everyone feel welcome and cared for, like serving us food at the restaurant, providing us with snacks, and taking our photos (this was especially great for me as a solo traveler). it was also my birthday today and she got me a little gift 🥹 I really appreciated it, since I was supposed to be here with a friend but they had to leave midway through the trip. Elin was very knowledgeable and spoke very good English. I could tell that she had a lot of experience. The itinerary was efficient and finished before sunset. finally she dropped me off at my side location, which saved me a taxi ride. Thank you, Elin. I'm glad I picked this tour over the other ones on Jeju.
