Although it was a little rush but that was expected when joining a tour group. Especially when the location is far off the central Seoul. Mina was very clear with her explanation on meeting places and time. The kids enjoyed themselves at all 3 places arranged, the bus journey was smooth and the bus ride was comfortable.

Wonderful places with a wonderful staff, Mr. Charlie was a helpful person, Thank you very much for this activity and hope to do it again for sure
