Stellar Experiencial Dive into Eastern Health and Healing - Absolutely loved this unique tour! Nothing like it that I could find. A deep dive every westerner should take into Easter medicine, health and healing practices. Completely unexpected experiencial adventures that are delicious and Uber relaxing. Just what this stressed out soul/Seoul needed. Healing herbal teas, massage, tapping, herbal markets galore, lots of tastes to open up the mind to what’s possible when we stop worrying about the past or future and focus on appreciating the here and now, the only place we have any power. Ms. Jade is a delight and speaks English beautifully. Thanks for all the insight, I’m going back to get more centered, peaceful and to start a practice of Korean Health, Wealth Alignment and Beauty.

Unique Cultural Experience - Fantastic tour! Jade, our guide was very accommodating. We learned about traditional Korean medicine; went to a fruit/vegetable market, drank flower tea, went to a museum, and also experienced a wonderful mechanical massage experience.

Walk to the medicinal plant market: SUPER - The guide JADE took the time to explain the history of the places visited, and knows her subject well. Very kind. Speaks French and English.

Nice tour - The massage was great as well as the Tea. Jade was kind and patient The subway system in Seoul May be challenging for those like us not used to this type of transportation. The area on a weekend it’s extremely busy and the directions a bit confusing and after getting inside a taxi they just kick us out just because we weren’t able to tell the driver the directions in Korean! Even though we showed him the directions from the message we had received from the tour company. The next taxi driver said it’ll take more than 40 min. Finally we decided to take train it took a while to get to the right one. We got lost and there’s no signs in English like in Japan. And people is not really helpful because they don’t speak English. We catch up with the group later on. But we missed the first part, wasted our time, energy and good disposition. After all of this the massage was really good and just what we needed.

All bad - The end of the tour, poor guide, no commentary. Starting point in assessable via tax. Massage was by machine and not very effective
