We enjoyed a very rainy day in a luxurious van with an excellent guide. Meena offered insights into Korean history and culture that brought the sights we visited to life.
it was an honor serving your beautiful family.
Excellent experience, all very interesting and a patient guide who was particularly attentive to my needs and very kind and accurate. Even when choosing where to eat and where to buy souvenirs to bring back to Italy. Fully satisfied
it was a great pleasure serving a very gentle man from italy ~
My husband and I loved this tour. Harry was very knowledgeable and accommodating to a few stops along the way. The tour is absolutely stunning - the sites we saw. We got in some leg work to burn off the calories from eating the delicious Korean food. The van was also very comfortable and I was able to get a few winks in to stave off the jet lag. :)
it was a great pleasure hosting your couple. hope to see your children next time you are in korea.
We booked this private tour for a group of 5 people. It was amazing! Our guide Harry was perfect, efficient and friendly. And this day was a unique opportunity to get out of Seoul and see rural Korea. We saw a magnificent temple on top of a mountain with superb views to the sea, visited the peace observatory where we had an incredible view of North Korea (with views of villages, rice fields, people who work in the field and feed their animals), visited the Unesco heritage dolmen and visited the ginseng market. Thank you Harry for a wonderful day!
ce fut un grand plaisir d'accueillir votre groupe. J'espère vous revoir. Merci de prier pour les habitants de la Corée du Nord.
I had a top-notch, tailored, and personalized trip with Harry to Seongmo and Ganghwa Islands a few weeks ago. The trip mixes physical/outdoor activities (the trail up to the Bomunsa Temple and the stone Buddha - well worth the extra hike up the mountain), great history (the dolmen), and current events (view of North Korea from the Peace Observatory). Harry also took me to a local, traditional market on Ganghwa-do on the way back which was an interesting experience for me and a glimpse into how Korea was before Seoul became ultra-modern. Harry is a great conversationalist and will tailor the trip to what you want to see and do. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to see things a bit off the beaten track (i.e., not full of tourists), but, still doable as a day trip from Seoul.
it was a great pleasure serving you. I believe my mission is to make every trip as memorable as possible.
