    Good hotels, I should have researched attraction first and check amount of walking involved before going on the land tour. More my fault than yours or your your guides. Both guides helpful and kind . Good coordination of hotels , pick ups, train rides and schedules. The second your guide in busan was very nice and English could be better. The next time we plan a trip , we will choose to ho non private so we can interact with other travellers which would make it more engaging and more fun

    We are beyond impressed and delighted with all the services we have received from Odynovo for our private tours in Seoul, Gyeongju, and Busan. Jones (Gang) was our tour guide in Seoul and Kevin was our tour guide in Gyeongju and Busan. Both were very knowledgeable, punctual, polite, and accommodating. All the drivers that picked us up and dropped us off were also great and would not even let my mom lift a single luggage! Selected accommodations were in good locations and had good amenities. Their operations team, especially Nikki and Alicia, were also very responsive from the time I’ve booked the tour 10 months ahead and up until the day we left South Korea. We highly recommend Odynovo Tours!
