“Jeju is a beautiful place to visit. Much slower pace than Seoul. The weather is warmer in the winter. Cool but pleasant. Our guide Steve was great. Great way to get around with private taxi tour. Jeju is not as easy to get around using public transit as Seoul. Put your comfortable shoes on because you'll be rewarded with beautiful sights at the end of the trails”

Andy even played BTOB songs in the car (our fave kpop group!). For lunch, she even recommended the chicken in ginseng soup and it was yummy! She was very helpful with purchasing palace tickets and also accommodated and even dropped us off at the Namsan Tower at the end of the tour, which wasn't even in our itinerary at all!
