Great Day in Soul

Thomas was a great guide, fun, knowledgeable and attentious with us. It was very cold and he had some hot packages that made a great difference keeping us warm. On top he had a camera and took several beautiful pictures. (My wife loved, I'm a terrible and lazy photographer). We had very little time in Korea and we are very happy to be with Thomas. We did learn a lot.

Thomas K.

Hello Andre, Thank you for your good review. I also have a good with you today. Have a safe pleasant journey back home
