▪ Tour(s): Tailor-made Tour (SEOUL ~ YANGGU DMZ ~ SEORAKSAN MOUNTAIN ~ DAEGU ~ GYEONGJU ~ HAEINSA TEMPLE ~ SEOUL)
1. How was your itinerary? Are those places worth visiting?
“Our itinerary was great and detailed. What I liked the most was the flexibility and our tour guide. He made the sights interesting to my two 12 year old boys. There was one sight in GYEONGJU which I added after seeing the Great Queen Seondeok TV drama series which I would not return to (Silla Millenium Park) as it did not meet my expectations.
I liked the fact that we did some cultural activities such as going to the public bath spa and a temple stay so that Patrick and Matthew had more than a tourist perspective of their mother country.”
2. How was food that your family had?
“All but a couple of the meals were excellent. We especially liked the court lunch in GYEONGJU and the chicken dishes in Andong. We ate very well and enjoyed the food so much that we even looked forward to what and where we would be eating next. We learned to eat the foods in the traditional manner, rather than how we ate it in the US…and it was more delicious (i.e. wrapping grilled items like bulgogi in lettuce, rice, condiments).”
3. How was your guide? (in regard to knowledge, passion, communication,…)
“My twin sons were adopted from Korea at 4 months of age. At age 12, this is their first trip back to see their country. Our goal was for Patrick and Matthew to learn and experience their mother country. We left Korea achieving this goal and more due to our guide. He made Korea come alive for Patrick and Matthew. He explained what we were seeing in an interesting manner and was very knowledgeable. He was passionate about making us understand the traditions of his country Korea. Besides being very professional, He is also a very generous and kind man. When I told him I was looking for a particular TV drama series, he went out of his way to find them. We always had a secure feeling that we were in good hands with a friend.”
4. Could you make a general comments of our services in few sentences?
“We received very good service from HAPPIMIZE TRAVEL, from the moment I put in our first inquiry to the last e-mail regarding the confirmation of our meeting with our guide. Client Care Desk always returned my e-mail inquiry within the next day and was very patient with the numerous changes I made to the itinerary. We would definitely use HAPPIMIZE again and highly recommend their services.
