Great way to see the Palace - Sam was a very kind and organised guide. He explained everything we were seeing, things we would have had no idea about without a guide! The tour was very punctual and well paced.

Maybe the full tour is better? - Rushed through the Blue House and the Cheungdokgung Palace, but spent so much time at the Ginseng Mueseum which was a hard press to buy.
