I see lots of room for improvement.

The route map was outdated and the stops were not clearly indicated on that map at all. We searched at least 15 min for a stop and then waited more than 30 min before realizing that that stop is no longer a valid one! Moreover, the bus interval is every 60 min, not 30 min. Lastly, there were no explanations of the hotel stops--are there points of interest around those hotels or are they just convenient hop on/off locations for guests of those hotels?? I would suggest adding at least a page of explanations to the route map so that we can get a preview of each stop.
I understand that this may be the problem of the local tour bus operator not providing sufficient information because its own website was difficult to navigate. However, a little improvement over the current setup would go a long way to make it better.

The first bus, a trolley look alike was noisy and felt like it had no suspension. Making matters worse, the loud speakers were blaring commentary in Korean which made it hard to listen to English commentary over the earphones. The MAN buses we took subsequently were good. Still, the loud Korean commentary over the speakers made it hard to listen to English version. They should turn off the loudspeakers.

There were lots of complaints about this tour but my sister and I found it really good. It went to the major sites and we spent 2 hours just riding the whole loop and then went around and got off at the 3 spots we had identified. Ideally, if new to Seoul, I would get the two day pass but I'd been there already several times and had seen all of the palaces. The recordings in English were fine. Not super-informative but basic information. It's true that the records playing on the bus was in Korean and so you had to concentrate on water was being said through the earbuds. Also, when the bus drive announced a stop, my recording stopped...period. Honestly, though, these were pretty minor inconveniences compared to the convenience of having a bus take you exactly where you wanted to go...

the bus stops are very difficult to find and the brochure that was sent to me does not give a specific spot where the buss stops are. For example, it just said Myeondong, but that is a big area and hardly anybody speaks English there so I got so frustrated and wasted my money on this tour.
Perfect tour for one day in Seoul

Unless you speak Korean, this is like riding a bus with sight seeing on your own. The bus driver didn’t speak English so we couldn’t understand what he was saying although the locals were entertained. Headset/speaker didn't explain much for all stops or sights. Research ahead then ride the bus.

as an English only speaker, this was such a sight for sore eyes. it hit all the spots that i was looking to see and visit and using this system allowed me to not stress about getting lost. the only thing i would change is maybe adding a little more anecdotes/facts to the audio guide about places you were passing by along the way to actual sightseeing spots. thank you for offering this tour!
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.
