Katie was a fantastic tour guide and knew her information. She was always accommodating towards taking pictures for guests and even recommending hidden gems to check out after the tour. We had a blast and got to see/understand a good amount of Korea's culture/historical background!

We can recommend this tour. Despite the pouring rain our guide Rebecca was fun and entertained us with her jokes. :- We were first taken to Jogyesa Tempel and than to Gyeongbokgung Palace. Rebecca also took us to an interesting exhibition in the Korean Folk Museum and gave us some interesting information about life in ancient Korea. During the tour our guide was very helpful, answered all our questions and offered to take pictures of the three of us. All in all we liked the tour.

Our guide changed the itinerary and had us go to the Zen Buddism temple first instead of last. This made the time left for the rest of the tour short and rushed since we needed to get through the rest of the tour in order to not miss the changing of the guards. It was to be a 3.5 hour tour that at best was squeezed into 2.5 hours
Good enjoyable and freindly emglish...

Der Halbtagesausflug war in der Hitze anstrengend, aber es hatte sich gelohnt. Den kaiserpalast Geyeungbokung anzusehen war phantastisch. Da ich eine Woche zuvor in der verbotenen Stadt der Kaiserpalast in Beijing sehen konnte, wurde die unterschiedliche Architektur und Ausgestaltung erkennbar. Wir haben natürlich auch das Touristenspektakel des Wachwechsels am Haupteingang erlebt, sehr touristisch aber dennoch nett.
Der Jogyesa Tempel, ein buddhistische Tempel in Seoul sehr beeindruckend. Es ist ein aktiver Tempel, das man auch an den vielen Besuchern und den Betenden erkennen kann. Der buddhistische Tempel ist ähnlich anderer Tempel aufgebaut. Das grosse Eingangstor mit beeindruckenden Wächter , eine fantastische Schmiedekunst. Die Haupthalle mit dem Heiligtum des Buddhas, ein grosser heiliger Baum 500 Jahre alt, der Glockenturm, und anderen Gebäuden, die aber nicht erklärt wurden, wahrscheinlich das Sutrahaus Bibliothek und Gebäude für die Mönche z:B.Speisesäle usw. Das Hauptgebäude ist künstlerisch wundervoll gestalten. Typische koreanische Architektur mit schöner Malerei. Sollte man unbedingt ansehen.

De gids was vriendelijk en wist veel te vertellen. Handig om met de tour te beginnen als je de stad nog niet goed kent. Wel erg weinig tijd om de verschillende locaties goed te verkennen. Jammer van de laatste onverwachte ingelaste stop die aandeed als een 'toeristenval' (ginseng centrum waarbij het overduidelijk de bedoeling was dat er ginseng producten werden aangeschaft, een commerciele deal tussen de tour-organisatie en het gingseng centrum leek me). Verder een leuke ochtend gehad!
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
