After arriving in Myeongdong, Seoul from the Pyeongchang ski resort, my thoughtful wife arranged a day trip to Seoul to give us a chance to learn more about the culture and charm of the city. To be honest, I didn't have high expectations for this day trip, as the reviews of similar tours in mainland China I'd read online were mostly superficial. So, I wasn't particularly excited when we set off. However, with Bella's explanations and introductions at each stop, I felt a sense of adventure and anticipation for the eight stops we would be taking. Bella provided very vivid and detailed explanations on the bus, and even when we were sightseeing, she wasn't clingy or bothersome at all. She appeared at just the right moments, making us feel like we had an invisible guardian angel, always there to answer our questions and explain everything. We were so lucky to have such a high-quality and professional guide like Bella to lead us through Seoul. What was special was that another English-speaking group was also on the bus with us, so while another English-speaking guide, Hana, explained the sights in English, we experienced a different kind of sightseeing experience – it was fantastic! I look forward to our next trip to Korea, and I'm planning a short trip to the North-South Korean border. Thank you again, Bella and Hana, for making this trip so wonderful!
I booked a special session through KKday, and my wife, who doesn't like wearing makeup, had a beautiful makeover. She looked 20 years younger, even our son said! The staff were friendly, professional, and the arrangements were fantastic. The photographer was also very professional, making our photoshoot in Hanbok at Gyeongbokgung Palace a very satisfying experience, leaving us with many happy memories.
