Took the half day tour with Judy...it was great. Very knowledgeable and easy to listen to. I'm glad we booked this tour vs. going on our own. It is always helpful to know what I'm looking at.

We had a wonderful time on our half-day city tour! Our guide, Kelly, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, sharing great insights that made each stop even more enjoyable. I captured some amazing photos that I’ll always treasure. Our final stop was a pleasant surprise, it’s a place we probably wouldn’t have discovered on our own, and I’m so glad we did. I learned so much about the different types of ginseng and even picked some up to take home. Overall, it was a fun, informative, and memorable experience that I’d highly recommend to anyone visiting.

Judy (tour guide) and Charlie (driver) were great! Judy was very friendly, high energy and a knowledgeable tour guide making our experience far more meaningful. They were accommodating, easy to talk with and kept our tour moving + on time. Thanks for a great experience :)

Very informative and friendly tour guide. Judy was excellent with her explanations and very friendly. She also provided places we could see by ourselves.
