A fun and enjoyable tour - It was a great tour despite the driver knowing very little English. He was well prepared with written and phone information on the sights we saw. We also communicated via Google translation and it was great fun. The woman divers museum was amazing!

One of the best Shore Excursion tours on Jeju! - Mr. Choi greeted us at the port and led us to his very comfortable 12-seat air conditioned van and provided wi-fi and water for the 8 of us. He accommodated our customized tour to specific sites we were the most interested in, even if they were a distance from each other. We were able to go to three and return in time for our ship boarding time. We had two small children and he even tried to find us a stroller when the youngest one fell asleep. He also acquired a covered shuttle vehicle with driver for the Jeju Stone Park because of the heat and children. We saw almost everything we wanted to see on Jeju, but only limited by our shorter allotted shore time. We highly recommend this tour. They kept in contact with us and made us feel appreciative of their excellent customer service!

Wonderful time with Mr. Kang, lots of places covered! - We had a wonderful time with Mr. Kang. Book this tour if you want to visit many places in Jeju. He recommended great places to eat and even got us some Jeju oranges! It was a lot of places in one day so be mindful of that before you book or you can tailor the itinerary before going. Mr. Kang is kind and offered to take lots of pictures for us. We communicate by using Papago and Google translate so if you want a tour that explains the comprehensive history and background of each places, then you'll need to reset that expectation.

Just Driver/Not a Tour - Be Warned. There is just a driver. This is not a tour. We signed up for this because it said it was a tour in English. Our driver spoke only a very very few words of English. It was very hard to even tell him what we wanted to see. We had to use a translator app to communicate basic information. We learned NOTHING about Jeju or the two places we saw. The driver was nice and courteous. This is not a reflection on him. The three stars given were for the driver. As a tour I would’ve given it zero stars. From other reviews, it sounds like other people had drivers who did speak more English, and they did learn things. However, ours was not a tour, and we were extremely disappointed.
