    The tour was great, I have rarely experienced so much in 8 days. Our tour guide Pam was so accommodating, helpful and nice and she knew her stuff! I guess Intrepid really puts a lot of emphasis on good guides. I would definitely recommend a few extra days in Seoul though, there is too much to see in the city to experience it in the two days.
