Before setting off, there was a possibility that the tram service might be canceled due to the cold weather in South Korea, especially last week in Pyeongchang when it dropped to -19 degrees Celsius. Fortunately, the temperature in Seoul rose by more than 15 degrees, so the tram trip on the morning of February 13th went ahead as planned. Thanks to Joey's detailed explanation, we learned that the tram had applied for its right-of-way, and we could freely greet pedestrians on the street, who responded very warmly. This gave me a much better impression of South Korea, as people from Eastern countries are usually more introverted and shy. I unexpectedly enjoyed this experience immensely – it was all so perfect! Joey also took us to a market frequented by locals, where we sampled local delicacies. I am incredibly grateful to Joey and the driver. While we were pedaling, the driver simultaneously recharged the battery and guided us in each direction. Finally, a tip for everyone: booking in the morning during winter offers a good chance of chartering a tram!
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!
The photographer was extremely professional and friendly, and the service in the store was also wonderful. While the selection of hanbok wasn’t vast, what was available looked great. The only downside was that the walk to Gyeongbokgung Palace was a bit far, and wearing the hanbok could get chilly. Overall, the experience was excellent and truly enjoyable. I highly recommend this provider for solo travelers.
The Maze of Intelligence and Courage is perfect for taking elementary school students. Running Man (1.5 hours) is also suitable for those who can understand the game instructions in Chinese. 90 minutes is enough time to play. The previous version of Running Man was physically demanding, but this one is more intellectually stimulating and requires mental effort. If you don't want to walk around an outdoor amusement park in the wind and rain, this is a great choice.
