Very informative tour, showed me a different side of Korea, featuring the education system, the birth rate and housing system of KoreaJune is very witty and a natural storyteller. You learn interesting things about Korean student life, education, and pressures. Additionally, you get to tour Gangnam which is a must in the Seoul area! Really enjoyed the optional meal at the end, which was vegetarian-friendly :)

This tour is fantastic - so much so that I wish every city had a tour like this. While it's lovely to experience a new city with rose-tinted glasses as a tourist, it's much more insightful to me to understand the way of life for locals...June's tour does exactly that! The information he shared was so fascinating that I actually took a few bullet point notes in my phone so I would remember it. June works really hard to curate a memorable tour and I appreciate all of our interactions. All the walking was on level surfaces, with no incline, so it's suitable for any mobility level. If you want to truly comprehend life as a South Korean, this is an absolute must do!
