One of the highlights of our journey in Seoul. David and Lanson, our coaches including tour guides are very punctual, informative and fun. We got our basic ski lesson in details although in the end none of us succeeded to ski but we enjoyed this experience a lot. Our premium package including photographs. Sam, our photographer made amazing pics, he directed us what poses are good and you can see the results. The only minor thing was the gloves that were included in the package was rental gloves, I thought we would get a new pair, but they’re still good to wear. Overall, it’s worth every penny spent. Would gladly recommend this tour.

Although I was a little nervous in the morning because there were two meeting points and I thought I was in the wrong place, the whole trip was very smooth. The babies were so cute. Grandpa Jiang was also very friendly and even signed autographs and took photos with them one by one. The flow of the activity was better than before. Taiwan feels better. Then I was really happy to save a Lucky King and come back. The only drawback is probably that the price is a little too expensive.

Met up with Jack at MD exit 2. He’s on time and he drives safely. It’s a small group tour and I really enjoy it. It’s a nice experience to see the fortress and Jack gave us a brief history about it. Starfield library is really beautiful and wished I had abit more time at the mall to do some shopping !

The itinerary is well arranged. Although the meals are only the a la carte menu of the park, the other fast pass facilities are really VIP.

Hassle free way to explore Suwon and Yongin area. The ride was comfortable and we learnt about the history of Hwaseong Fortress. The guide Daniel also introduced different aspects of Korean culture and treated us to a hotteok at the market. All 4 places that we visited are great. Would recommend.

The tour guide will send a text message the night before to inform you of the time and place to gather. After you get on the bus, you will carefully explain the things you should pay attention to. Both Chinese and English are excellent.
