Visit that deserves but with my English not at its best, I had serious difficulties in understanding the guide who spoke too fast. The only clear word was “okay” which he repeated over and over at the end of each sentence. The guide did not give much explanation on the sites and seemed more interested in getting a review with the highest score promising in exchange for coupons. We have also found this practice with other tour operators and I do not find it valid for an objective evaluation, I imagine it is a business practice. Too bad that the organization of the trip does not allow more elastic times to visit the sites and especially to manage utilities: example if to go to the bathroom are given only 10 minutes in a crowded service area, it is a bit 'difficult to keep to the schedule. I realise that it is a directive of the tour operator, regardless of the guides.
Thank you for your feedback regarding your Nami Island Tour Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback regarding your recent tour to Nami Island and the Garden of Morning Calm. We sincerely appreciate your honesty, as it helps us improve our services. First, I would like to apologize for the communication difficulties you experienced. We understand that a guide's pace of speech is crucial for a comfortable experience, and I will personally discuss this with our team to ensure we adapt better to our guests' language needs, focusing on clarity over speed. Regarding the itinerary and break times, we are sorry that you felt rushed. Our tours aim to cover beautiful locations efficiently, but we understand that 10 minutes in a crowded service area is not enough. We will review our scheduling to allow more flexible and relaxed "utility" time for our guests' comfort. Additionally, we take your comment about the review request very seriously. It is our policy to provide high-quality storytelling first, and we will retrain our guides to ensure that any mention of reviews does not interfere with the educational and historical value of the tour. We hope to have the chance to welcome you back in the future with a more relaxed and improved experience that truly reflects the beauty of Korea. Best regards, David Joo Manager, SeoulNtour Team
