We were picked up just on time from our hotel and everything went smoothly with collecting of other participants. Guide was helpful, clear and exact with her explanations. Most interesting was the Gyeongbokgung Palace with the picturesque ceremony of changing guards. We found more details of Korean history and customs. It was my second visit to Seoul, and I am more than the average accustomed with at least oe recent history of Korea, but I found new things too.
