We made the tour with Winie and she was 5star. She was kind, and informative and that was great, she coudn't have done it better however I was expecting more...maybe something more thrilling or a tour with some participation from the tourist. This feeling is not a fault from Winie I guess it's just how all the tours are made.
I think its an interesting excursion, but its best to book it if you end up spending more that 2,3 days in Seoul seeing that it takes an entire day. Also keep in mind that in most places your not allowed to take photos. In my opinion the visit was more interesting than exiting, i found some of the places a bit lackluster but it is interesting information wise. I do recomend it and the gide Winnie was also very helpfull and interactive.
Great views, definitely worth the money for it. Winnie was also a great tour guide.
