Sean Kim is the best tour guide we’ve ever had! - We had such a wonderful experience with our day tour guide, Sean Kim! From the start, he was incredibly pleasant, knowledgeable, and accommodating, making us feel comfortable and welcomed throughout the day. He had a wealth of information to share, bringing history and culture to life in such an engaging way. What impressed us most was his patience and flexibility—he made sure everyone in our group was taken care of and that we enjoyed the tour at our own pace. Thanks to him, we were able to see and learn so much more than we ever expected. Truly an outstanding guide who went above and beyond to make our day memorable. Highly recommend!
