Satisfying and well prepared tour - June has been a great tour guide for my husband and I during our visit to Jeju. She had created a smooth schedule according to the places I wanted to visit. She had provided us many information about the island itself and also brought us to many places for cherry blossoms. Though we could not go for paragliding and climbed to the Hallasan’s peak as planned, I still love to visit Jeju and have June as our guide!!! Look forward to meet again in near future! 🫰🏼
