Gamcheon Village was interesting and different to all the other stops in Korea. Seaside, Haedong temple was nice but crowded as there were 2 cruise ships in town. The United Nations Memorial cemetery was great, thought prevoking experience and a history of Korea.

We had an amazing time on the tour. Brent was an amazing tour guide. He was informative and helpful, answered all questions, and was very punctual. He made sure we all were made aware of what bus we were on, where we were meeting, and the meeting spot. He promised not to lose any of us and when a couple of guest were a few minutes late to the meeting point he went to get them. I give Brent 5 stars all around!! Excellent!
