We had a lovely 3-day family tour to Gyeongju, Andong, Hainsa and Daegu. It was very interesting to learn about the history and traditions of past Korea. We liked Bulguksa but particularly beautiful Hainsa on a misty Sunday morning. Jade was an excellent guide with a great personality and deep knowledge of Korea and the places we visited and we felt like old friends from the beginning. For visiting Andong, very friendly Finn stepped in for Jade and we had a fine day out there, too, including visiting the soju museum. We would come back anytime and would be pleased to be shown around by Finn and “old friend” Jade :-). Greetings, Jens and family from Denmark241kristys

A private tour to see several UNESCO world heritage sites and other unique local attractions that would have been difficult to reach via public transportation. While expensive, we were glad we booked this tour. A big positive was our guide Peter, who was friendly, easy-going, and very flexible. He answered our many questions and had interesting perspectives and shared his templestay experience. He introduced local Korean food and generally provided a deeper experience than we would have had just on our own.
