Best Jeju Tour Guide Ever - We hired Mr. Hong for three days. Mr. Hong was by far one of the most professional and accommodating tour guide I’ve ever seen. He is one of the few tour guides that speak English in Jeju Island. He made my family feel welcomed and comfortable from the very beginning to the end. Throughout the tour, he carefully explained every sight in detail and laid out the plan in advance. He is also a phenomenal photographer. He joins you every step of the way to ensure you get the group photo you need and is also considerate of your personal time. He is local and knows a lot of the popular tourist sights and local cuisine you would not get to experience if you explore on your own. Overall, Mr. Hong provides a top notch service that is unmatched. I highly recommend his service to anyone visiting Jeju Island.

Awesome tour guide! - Best tour guide ever. Mr. Hong was so kind, friendly and attentive toward our kids and elderly mother. He was such a happy and positive guy who made our first Jeju experience wonderful and would definitely recommend Mr. Hing to anyone. Thank you Mr. Hong!

G Family in Jeju - Our tour with Mr. Hong was INCREDIBLE! I came here in 1998 as a college student and wanted to share all the beautiful places with my family. Mr. Hong took our family of 5 to all of the amazing places we've been wanting to go to. He contacted me through WhatsApp prior to picking us up. It was nice being able to communicate prior to our tour and during the trip. We started our tour at Osulloc Tea Museum and Innisfree. We taste tested tea and tried new creams. We went to Songaksan Mountain and then the Yongmeori Coast. The beauty of it all was so breathtaking. Then we saw the cliffs, Oedolgae, also walked to the Jeongbang waterfall. Mr. Hong took pictures of us and showed us the best places to capture the moments. We asked him to take us to eat a specific type of seafood and he took us there for lunch. It was AMAZING! We ended our first day at Segowipo Maeil Olle Market and did some souvenir shopping, bought some clothes, and tasted some authentic Korean street food.
The next day we toured the west coast of Jeju. We visited Jeju Stone Park, Seongsan Ilchulbong, Seopjikoji. Sangumburi Crater, and Seongeup Folk Village. I can't even express how much we loved day#2! The views and the history was incredible. We met the head master of the folk town and learned so much from him. We had the opportunity to watch the haenyeo (female divers) at work. It was so special to see all of this. Once again, lunch was unforgettable. We ate black pork and our boys loved it so much, we had to order more! Everything was delicious. We've been wanting to visit one of the beaches and so he took us to the most beautiful beach called Hamdeok Beach. We ate and drank tea at Cafe Delmoondo, which was once again incredible with the views. We were so thankful Mr. Hong took us there.
He really made our trip special and customized our tour for us. We plan on coming back and will use his services again! It was so memorable and our family loved our time!

Best Driver in Jeju - Definitely recommend Mr Hong to everyone for traveling in Jeju.
He is warm, friendly, engaging and sincere.
When we mentioned we want to go some places which are very popular in social media, he tell us otherwise and give us even better recommendations!
All his recommendations are good and we enjoy ourselves alot.

Great jeju, great weather, great driver and tour guide. - Mr. Hong was such a pleasant driver, safe, entertaining, was available on time, and a great guide.. kept the conversation going.. was very accommodating to our whims. And showed us some really great local dining options. Highly recommend namyang travels if you're in jeju and in need of private tours.. their fares are reasonable and the viechle is very clean and air conditioned.

Thank you for an amazing trip, Mr Hong and Namyang Travel! - We had a great 2-day tour with Mr. Hong of Namyang Travel. He and his team speaks English, was very helpful organising entries to places and was very flexible to our requests. He even helped us take photos.
He suggested itineraries that fit our schedule, making our time is Jeju very smooth and enjoyable. His restaurant suggestions were also great.
He was also very friendly and has a great sense of humour. I will be booking with him again if we return to Jeju.

Unforgettable tour with Mr Hong - Only if there was an option to give feedback more than 5 star i would give 10 and more!
I stayed in jeju for 5 days and had the most unforgettable time of my life thanks to Mr Hong. We had our trips booked with him for 3 days including airport drop which was the best choice. 3 days trip which i Ieft Mr Hong to schedule for me were incredible beyond my imagination. Family of four and he made sure all of us were happy until the very end. He took us places that are heaven on earth! This trip was very important for me and my family as we chose jeju, a quite place to heal from all the stressful city life we had. The mountains, folk village, the sea, jeju beaches where Mr Hong drew Welcome message for my family on a sand, hidden gems and hidden cafes, bijarim forest barefoot experience was all like a dream.
All of this wouldn't be possible without Mr Hong who me and my family got very close to the point I started calling him Ajjusi. The bond he created with us will never fade.
Mr Hong is always on time,or should I say he is 30min early haha (ㅋㅋ). I would suggest everyone to allow Mr Hong to arrange their schedule as he knows JEJU inside out and you will get to do more with him on a private jumbo taxi then on a tour bus which is usually very rushed.
It was a magical trip with Mr Hong, from the moment you enter to his jumbo taxi, you will never want that trip to end.
Mr Hong is very honest, very friendly and very funny with amazing personality. Mr Hong is very careful with when it comes to your likes and dislikes, specially religious needs as my family is Muslim. He would stop places when it was a prayer time and in Muslim friendly restaurants doing all enquiries to make sure we had the right food as per our religion.
We shared amazing memories together, sharing food, having drinks in cafe, walking alongside jeju beautiful trails and eating together in very welcoming restaurants.
On my next trip in 6months time I am going to chose Mr Hongs service again as me and my family feel comfortable with him.
Not to forget, If you are Samdal-ri fan, Mr Hong is the best person to take you there as he knows all the hidden filming locations.

The best way to experience Jeju Island - The 6 of us arrived in Jeju Island on a cruise ship. Mr. Hong greeted us at the cruise ship terminal with our name sign with a big welcoming smile. We liked him from the moment we met him. With Mr. Hong’s suggestion, he made our itinerary that included spots we were interested in visiting plus his suggested sites that fits with our tight schedule. We were amazed how efficiently Mr. Hong arranged and maximized our tour. He even called a restaurant ahead of time so we don’t waste any time just waiting for our food to be served. It was the most delicious local noodle dish we all enjoyed very much!
We lucked out with gorgeous weather to enhance our experience visiting the beautiful island of Jeju. Mr. Hong is such a warm person, explaining about the sites we visited, taking many wonderful pictures, keeping us entertained with good humour while driving safely. The van he used for the tour was very big, comfortable, and clean. Thank you very much to Jumbo Taxi Tour and Mr. Hong for unforgettable Jeju Island memories. We hope to come back one day to explore more in Jeju Island with you.

A nice, but hot day in Jeju! - We had Mr Kang who filled in at the last minute. Although his English was a bit hard to understand, he was patient and a great driver. He took us everywhere we wanted to go and let us spend as much time at each location as we wanted.
