This was a fantastic tour! Our tour guide Paul got in touch a few days prior to the tour to confirm where and when to meet and to ensure that we were prepared for the chilly weather. We had no expectations of the day - so asked that he advise us of what we should see. He was fabulous - discussed the history and culture of Korea - and was open to all of our questions (history, culture, politics, religion, day to day life). We saw some amazing sights - and fabulous views. We learnt how to use the local subway (very efficient!). Paul suggested lunch in a local market - with some delicious food. In terms of practicalities - he had good suggestions of clean and comfortable ladies toilets to use during the day (much appreciated). Overall - a fantastic day with a great guide!
