Today's trip was amazing!. Eric has been one of the best guides I have had in all the travels I have made. Even though the weather didn't help at all (it's been pouring the whole day), Eric has been offering amazing alternatives and visits. Jeju is an extraordinary island and Eric showed us the best things to do in a rainy day. Highly recommended!!!!. Thank you very much Eric!Amazing experience!!!!

Jeju City may not have as many instantly recognizable cultural landmarks as Seoul, Jeonju, or Gyeongju... but thanks to Yongchan, what the city does offer came to life in the most meaningful way. He brought depth and perspective to every stop, sharing stories, historical context, and cultural details that gave us a much richer understanding of the island. His explanation of the 4.3 Massacre was especially thoughtful and thorough, helping us connect emotionally to a part of history we were eager to learn more about. You can tell he genuinely cares about sharing Jeju’s story. A fantastic experience with a guide who’s truly passionate about his work.Experienced and knowledgeable.

We find that food tours are a great way to get to know the locals. Chundo was a wonderful host. He picked us up at the port and took us by public bus to the market. We enjoyed local oranges, fried chicken, rice cakes and more. We finished our tour with a delicious pork & noodle soup. We had some allergies that Chundo was able to accommodate. I highly recommend a tour with him. Our was a great value and lots of fun. Fun Food Tour!
