This is a great tour for people who want to see essential parts of Jeju quickly. For reference, I am a solo female traveller and I felt very comfortable. I was only staying in Jeju for 3 days and 2 nights. Therefore, this is the perfect way to explore Jeju on the middle day. I felt very safe and the tour guide, Eric, is very kind and knowledgeable. He informs you about important information whilst on the bus, and also you can ask him questions when at the tourist spots. He also offers to take pictures for you. It is very suitable for solo travellers, for families etc. There is some short walking/hiking up to Songaksan Mountain so please wear trainers. If you do not want to do the hiking, then you do not have to. The mountain has a lovely beach and many restaurants at the base, where you can rest. I really enjoyed my time. Thank you Eric!

The tour guide this time is Andrew. Because we are traveling as a family with elderly and children, we want to go to authentic affordable gourmet restaurants, not the ones recommended by Internet celebrities. The restaurants he took us to are all very good, and we think It was delicious! ! We ate fried noodles, fried noodles, seafood pot, sweet and sour pork, etc., and also went to a beautiful sea view cafe to watch the sea. He was very attentive during the entire trip, and he also answered our historical and humanistic questions, as well as gave very practical suggestions. The elders were also very satisfied. Highly recommend him!

Our guide Steven was polite, outgoing and friendly. He gave us free lessons on the Korean language making a usual bus ride that much more enjoyable. He made sure we knew where to go and never rushed us. Though everything was on time it almost felt like we had ages because we were kept so comfortable. Overall Stephen was everything you look for in a tour guide and would definitely recommend.
