My reviews

    I feel like we learnt so so much incredible information in just a few hours. Jay told us the highlights of the history of the gyeongbokgung palace, pointing out some things we would never have spotted without him. Following the palace he also showed us some lovely shopping streets and eating spots. I really really appreciated getting his opinion and just in general am so so glad he was our tour guide.
