Cultural History Tour - The leader Peter explained carefully, will be supplemented with Chinese, and heard a lot of the story of Zhou Li garlic. The Lightning Cave has the relentlessness and grief of the Korean colonial period, now there is an art invasion, worth visiting.

About Hope, Beauty and Light - Today our driver's guide is Peter Pan, introducing us to the Chinese-British two-way. A day of many historical stories, the waterfront city, the waterfront palace, the sky library, the luminous caves. From Washington and Palace you can see Korean historical records with a large number of image records, objects of the person, and even details of the castle. The light caves are partitioned in the head, each has a theme, very wonderful, but behind the glowing shadow is the blood tears of the colony, you can see the Koreans transform the dark pain efforts. The tour guide is great, the tour is great, this time we three plus another group of two people, a total of five people traveled, in addition to the Star Sky Library, the rest of the tour guide accompanied, the quality of the tour is good.

Day Tour of Waterfront Light Caves - Thank you for the patient accompaniment and guidance of Philips, although we don't understand English very well, but we are also happy, a family in Taiwan has chosen this trip to enjoy it.

The worst! - We will never know. Should be NO stars! Confirmed that date and pic up time/place the day before. Showed up 15 minutes before the pick up time out in 8 degrees Fahrenheit (-13 C) and the ride/tour never came or that’s what we thought. I contacted the person (Daicy Kim) at 8:34 then at 8:41. And no call backs and no messages. I finally called the number (extra roaming expense) and talked to Daicy who said the tour left! Like what? We’ve been here waiting out in the cold. She said our names were omitted somehow. We’ve planned this vocation to the very last minute. And this is so disappointing. Very upsetting.
