Estuvo bueno, con altibajos. Es más accesible de lo que parece, no hace falta estar entrenado. El almuerzo nos resolvió el día. El almuerzo fue simple para lo que dura la jornada. Nada grave, pero vale saberlo antes de reservar.

Booked at the last minute and it was a great call. I have never seen anything like Korea's. Including english Speaking Tour Guide takes a worry off your hands. Great value for money. Five well earned stars.

Reservamos de última hora e foi um acerto. Nosso guia era muito acolhedor e conversou com cada um. Sai mais que fazer solto, mas poupa toda a organização. Trocamos a data dois dias antes e não houve problema. O guia turístico que fala inglês superou o que eu esperava. Se voltarmos a Seul, repetimos.

Absolutely worth every penny. The english Speaking Tour Guide sorted our day out. The group was small, which made it all much calmer. One of the best things we have booked online.

Positivo en general
Buena opción para conocer Seul. El detalle de una parada de compras (centro Gingseng) suma bastante. Si lo comparás con hacerlo por tu cuenta, conviene. Nos encantó la zona de Korea's. Lo que no me gustó tanto fue la parada final, medio apurada. Con esos detalles arreglados sería un 10.

Buena opción para conocer Seul. Buena logística, se ve que lo hacen todos los días. El ritmo era cómodo, ni corriendo ni aburrido. Lo único mejorable fue la espera al inicio, arrancamos unos veinte minutos tarde. Se puede mejorar, pero no me arrepiento de haberlo hecho.
