Very nice tour, you have to do it if you want to discover Jeju’s treasures. Special thanks to Clara Kim who was so caring about very little detail to make our tour unforgettable. She was funny and thoughtful. We will sign again if she ‘s our guide.

Elin unnie is the BEST tour guide! She took such good care of our group and made sure we were prepared for each stop (reminders of time, if we needed a jacket, if we needed water, if we needed to bring an umbrella, etc). She also took the time to give us fun facts about Jeju, but did it in a really fun and engaging way to keep people's attention. She was flexible, where you were able to do your own thing at the stops, but she also made sure to let you know the recommended route (staying with her) and/or potential of getting lost if the stop was an area with a lot of alleyways. If this is your first time to Jeju, I highly recommend booking with Elin unnie because of how detailed, caring, and engaging she is. If you also get Mr. Kim as the driver as well, then you get the power duo. His driving was so gentle that it rocked me to sleep almost every time between stops. 정말 감사합니다 언니!
Thank you so much for your heartfelt review! We’re truly delighted that Elin and Mr. Kim made your Jeju trip so comfortable, fun, and memorable. Your kind words about Elin’s thoughtful care and Mr. Kim’s smooth driving mean so much to us. We’ll be sure to share your wonderful message with them. Thank you for choosing Yeha Tour! ❤️
The tour is amazing. You will see and spend time at Jeju’s east coast main attraction, appreciating the calm of small villages. For lunch, you’ll get the chance to try black pork (typical on the island) and chat with you companions. Everything was amazing also thanks to your tour guide Elin or, as she likes to be called, “mama jeju”. She’s wonderful, full of knowledge, kind and meticulous. Five stars especially to her.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted that you enjoyed exploring East Jeju with Elin, our “Mama Jeju.” Your special praise means so much to her, and we’ll be sure to share your kind words with her. Thank you for choosing Yeha Tour! ❤️

What an awesome day!! We had a wonderful time on this tour and would highly recommend it! The itinerary was very well organized, and we managed to visit so many beautiful and interesting places around Jeju in one day. Everything ran smoothly, which meant we could simply relax and enjoy each stop. Our guide Elin, and her red cap, made the experience even more special. From the beginning, she welcomed everyone with such a friendly and positive attitude. She was kind, attentive, and genuinely interested in making sure every person in the group was enjoying themselves. Her warmth and enthusiasm created a really nice atmosphere throughout the day, and we felt very well looked after. Thank you, Elin, for making an already amazing day in Jeju even more memorable!
