My reviews
-
Our guide, Hans Kim did a great job introducing us to Seoul. We particularly liked how he gave us a city overview with maps - this allowed us to orientate ourselves. Hans Kim went out of his way to show us parts of Seoul which would resonate with us, knowing that we are architects. We also enjoyed talking with him and understanding a bit of Korean way of life and culture. Thank you, Hans!
