Tour was a lot of fun and learned a lot about Jeju. Our tour guide Clara Kim was great and very friendly. Would recommend
Thank you for the great feedback. We are glad you had fun and learned a lot about Jeju on the tour. Your kind words about Clara Kim's friendly guiding will be shared with her. Hope to see you again in the future.
Ding, dong, dang if you know, then you know Jeju mama Elin. We had a great day with Mama Elin. She did everything from Korean language lessons, Jeju history and facts, game show host and tour guide. She made the time on the bus go by fast with Korean snacks and gifts, all while filling us in on our next stop and keeping us organized with valuable time goals. We made stops at Sunrise Peak, Micheon Cave, Seongeup Folk Village and Dongmun Market. All of this was well organized and Jeju Mama kept us moving. We had a nice black pork lunch with rice wine. When the tour ended it felt like saying goodbye to a family member. The next day, as promised she sent photos to us from our day on Jeju. Gamsahabnida Jeju Mama Elin!
Great way to see some of Jeju island. Our tour guide was very good and very informative, lots of snacks given and oranges.
Guide Elin was fantastic. She came across as a very happy and helpful guide & did an excellent job throughout our tour. Our Bus Driver also deserves a mention as he was a good driver and helpful.
We really enjoyed this tour yesterday, May 29, 2026, on Jeju Island. We were a group of ten people joining a bigger tour, and everything was organised so well from beginning to end. The bus was big and very comfortable, and our guide Zin from Yeha Tour was absolutely wonderful. He was friendly, caring, funny, and very knowledgeable. He told us many interesting things about Korean culture, daily life, and the history of Jeju Island, but in a very easy and enjoyable way. You could really see how much effort he put into making everyone comfortable. At the start of the tour we were offered bottled water, and throughout the day there was always more water available if anyone needed it, which was really appreciated. Zin also treated us to different local snacks and delicacies during the tour, which was such a nice touch. The whole program was very thoughtfully planned, everything ran on time, but we never felt rushed. Lunch was not included, but we were taken to a fantastic local restaurant with traditional Korean food. The food was delicious and surprisingly inexpensive. We visited many beautiful places and had such a lovely day overall. Our whole group was very happy with the experience. Big thank you to Zin and Yeha Tour — we would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Jeju Island!
Ding dong dang, if you know, then you know Jeju Moma Elin! We had a great day with Moma Elin. She did everything from Korean language lessons, Jeju history and facts, game show host and tour guide. She made the time on the bus go by fast with Korean snacks and gifts, all while filling us in on our next stop and keeping us organized with valuable time goals. We made stops at Sunrise Peak, Michele cave, Seongeup Folk village and Dongmun Market. All of this was well organized and Jeju mama kept us moving. We have a nice black pork lunch with rice wine. When the tour ended it felt like saying good bye to a family member! Gamsahabnida Jeju Moma Elin!
We had a great day exploring Jeju with Elin "jeju mama". She was very friendly, welcoming and informative. We were kept entertained between stops with quizzes (and prizes) and local snacks. The day was very enjoyable, covered several local attractions and included a local lunch of black pork and a guarantee that we would make it back to port for our departure. Highly recommend a tour with Jeju mama!
Our guide Elin /Mama/ was absolutely the best! Very knowledgeable, extremely caring and very entertaining. A wonderful guide and person. Very well managed tour.
Great way to see and learn about Jeju Island. Tough start hiking Sunrise Mountain, but it was all downhill afterward. Zin did a fine job educating us about the history and culture of the island - including unique traits of Jeju. While he gave us time to see things on our own, he was always nearby to provide insight and guidance if needed. He thoughtfully brought snacks, water, and tangerines to share with us. Thanks Zin for making it a great day!!
This experience was the best!! Our tour guide “Jeju Mama” had a great sense of humor and very knowledgeable of the history of the area. She speaks English extremely well and is very easy to understand. Would definitely recommend this excursion to anyone looking to experience a perfect day on Jeju Island.
