Reviews
A very fine experience with a very good guideS1498BOrichardm
This two hour-plus visit to a beautiful waterfall, historic exhibit, and two art galleries related to local art treasures, including dramatic calligraphy, is a great option for those with any cultural interests. Our well-educated guide shared a lot of knowledge about Korean history and cultural aspects. Very interesting, facinating, and even humorous. A great way to spend an afternoon walk in enchanting Seogwipo City.
Super Guide !! Very well explained and nice to see something else than the usual in Jeju. Nice walk. Very interesting cultural information.
The Jeongbang waterfall is incredible! A must-see in Jeju. Our guide was personable and enthusiastic.
