A beautiful and fantastic night view with a romantic cruise! - It was great to enjoy the tour in the cool evening, avoiding the sweltering daytime. Particularly, thanks to the dedicated efforts and assistance of our guide, Jay, we were able to have a joyful and comfortable tour. If you're planning a tour of Seoul in the summer, there couldn't be a better itinerary than this.

A Unique Seoul Night View Experience - Our guide, David, was very diligent and humorous. Throughout the tour, he provided various explanations about Seoul and Korea, and I have never met such an excellent guide anywhere else. Enjoying chicken and beer in the cool river breeze was a very unique experience, and the night view of Seoul from the cruise was fantastic.
