Best 3 days in Korea - George was an excellent tour guide. He customized our trip such that we can experience the most cities in the 3 days! He knew all the local places well and took us to the best food in town! The best way to see the countryside of Korea is this private tour.

Hectic Pace - Saw a lot in a few days, but pace was hectic, It would be better as a 6 day trip incorporating both east and west as the last day is mainly taken up getting back to Busan. Our driver George was very prompt and obliging, trying to make sure we saw the best of everything, and tried all the best Korean Dishes, but he was not an experienced guide and was lacking some locational and time related knowledge - eg Palace in Gyeonggu was only open until 9.30 pm and we wasted time on coffee and cake and missed it. More information from the agent on suitable hotels in Busan would have been helpful. All round, while we enjoyed, it was an expensive 3 days and very hectic pace.
