Full-day city tour

Our guide Kelly was wonderful: friendly, informative, efficient, very professional and also very approachable. However, we found the itinerary in the second half of our full-day tour slightly disappointing; given that we had transport, we would have preferred the chance to see a few sights on the other side of the river, such as the Lotte tower and/or the Starfield Library.

Guide HONG's explanations are rich and interesting, and he takes good care of the group members; he actively introduces the scenic spots and arranges for us to see the sights we should see.

Time share? or City Tour? You decide

This tour felt like a timeshare presentation you pay to attend instead of getting a complimentary night. Sightseeing that actually matters (museums and similar sites) got limited time. Other stops were commercial: the ginseng visit was largely a pitch to buy product. The shopping-district portion was a hurried look at one souvenir shop, not enough time to browse and grab more than a couple of coffees. We didn’t stop for lunch until around 2 PM, so if you tend to get hungry, bring snacks. Overall: skip it. Put the money toward T-money / metro tickets. Every place this tour visits is close to a station, and independent travel lets you stay as long as you want instead of being herded toward the next sales stop. As you can tell, I was less than impressed.
