Awesome tour with the best guide AJ - The tour is super complete, with plenty of time to enjoy all the spots. Super interesting to be able to see North Korea from the observatory. Our guide AJ, from Seoul City Tour made the experience even better. We’ve been so lucky to have her as our guide. Super friendly with great explanations in all the spots visited. 100 out of 10!!!
