Interesting insight into Korean history - Yeoni was the perfect host for the trip, she was informed, fun and friendly. I really enjoyed the day, there was a lot in the schedule which was quite busy to start with, but the timings worked well and it was the right amount of time for the activities I felt. I’d recommend this trip for an interesting insight into Korean history!

Know what you are getting - I did not do the tour . The tour company notified me after 5 pm the night before that I would have to meet them at a subway stop over 1 hour away to get tour bus . I showed them reservation showing hotel pick up and had even messaged them one week before and another 2 days before to confirm hotel pick up . Since it was less than 24 hours notice I was unable to cancel . Contacted Vaitor directly and they said a refund would be issued since I had multiple communications with tour group confirming hotel pick up and apologized for inconvenience
