Excellent Tour!

Chris was an excellent guide. We selected 4 hours so spent the afternoon seeing mostly traditional areas in Seoul but also some more modern things too. We relied on Chris to advise us only suggesting one place ourselves. She was very knowledgeable, great English and it was a really perfect start to our time in S Korea!
