John Kim was very accommodating. My dad walks very slowly, my son is very young, and my daughter has food allergies. He made sure the tour was fun and safe for us all. We accomplished everything on the itinerary and more. He had a good command of English and knowledge of Korean history and culture. He was easy to talk to and made the time go by quickly. The tour was up to 10 hours but flew by. Definitely recommended for families of all types and sizes.
