There were some issues with the pickup info, so please check if your hotel is actually on the list. Otherwise, you will pay extra. Overall, it is an excellent trip if you don't have much time in the city. They were only 4 of us so quite comfortable for exploring. Our guide Kim was very knowledgeable and patient with us. He also provided us with useful advice and accommodated our needs. I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you!
