Bruce,

Thanks so much for the offer on the photo flash, I will send the photos over the weekend to you! You are more than welcome to use the photos on Novalands Facebook page. 

Your rating form was not fill able so I'm am writing the reviews for the categories here.

1. Travel consultant - 5 - very responsive to all emails sent.

2. Tour guides
     a. Seoul - 4 - very comprehensive and well spoken
     B. Busan - 5 - absolutely a great tour guide!! Well spoken, knowledgable and clearly loves  
          being a guide! 
     C. Daengu - 4 - great attitude! 
     D. Jeju - 1 - was perhaps better suited for being a guide for very large groups. Somewhat 
         difficult to understand, was not vert personable (usually walking 30 in front of us), was more 
         of a driver than a guide. 
3. Drivers and cars - 4 - cars were all in good condition. Only had separate drivers with 2 of the 4 
    guides
4. Hotels
    1. Seoul 
        A. Location - 4
        B. Comfort - 4
    2. Busan

     4. Jeju
         A. Location - 5
         B. Comfort - 2 ( this really was more like a 2 star hotel)
  5.  Sights and activities
       A. Worthiness of visits - 4
       B. Meet interests - 4
       C.  Too tight to loose - 5 - well planned 
 6. Meals - 3 
 7.  Public transportation - 5 - well done

Overall a great tour and will certainly recommend to others and use again on our next trip to Asia.

Hello, Siva,

I wanted to let you know that we are home now and that wehave had a wonderful time in Korea!  Mr. Young was a wonderful host and wewere surprised and pleased with his hospitality!  He even made breakfastfor us for our ride to the airport this morning!  What a considerate thingto do!  I had no idea that he would provide so many services for us andwas more than helpful.  Many thanks to you for introducing us to him andto him for all he had done for us!  I will heartily recommend NovalandTours to anyone who plans to travel to Asia! 

 

It has been a pleasure working with you.  I want tolet you know that for my daughter, Hannah, this trip has been an enlighteningexperience to discover more about her Korean legacy and the circumstances ofher adoption.  She has started her journey to learn more about her legacy. She is grateful.

 

Thank you again for everything!

Sincerely,

Susan

Hi Bruce,

 My children and I had a wonderful time in Korea.  The tour that you have prepared met our expectations and more.
Although there were some changes in the original schedule due to the Rotary convention , it was only minor and we were
able to adjust. I would like to commend our guides Elvis in Seoul, Mina and Michelle in Busan . They were all friendly and
helpful and were able to answer our questions and even give suggestions on our tours. They made the tour
more personalized and made us feel at home even  though we were in a different country. Mr Choi our driver in Busan was always
on time and very polite and though he cant speak English he made sure that we  were comfortable in our  land trip to Busan.
Overall we are happy and would definitely recommend Novaland to others. We hope to have more tours with Novaland.

All the best.

Dinah

Dear Joanna

 

We arrived back home in KL safely onFriday night.

 

Thanks for the wonderful trip arrangedfor us. We got through very well on our own with the taxi on Thursday. Weenjoyed ourselves very much with the street food and shopping at Myeongdong! Wewould rate this trip of ours 10/10. The tour guide given to us, Mr Young and MrFred was excellent. I would highly recommended my friends and family members totravel with Novaland – flexible, very helpful and accommodative!

Hi Joanna,

   We left Korea and traveled in China for a week, then flew to Europe where we are now, so still on the road.  I did want to tell you that Young was simply terrific.  All of us enjoyed him as a guide and we felt him become part of our family.  All of our needs were taken care of and he was knowledgable and helpful at every turn.  He gave us many insights into Korean culture, history, and present day living that we could never have obtained in any other way.  And the food!  He knew exactly where to take us and we experienced many different wonderful cuisines.  All in all, it was a fantastic experience and it was due to Young. 

 

We do have pictures to send and are gathering them.  We have some for Young also and have sent some to him, but others will follow soon.

 

We will definitely recommend Novaland Tours to our friends and we loved every minute of our time with Young and Korea.

 

Score of 5 in all categories.

 

All the best,

   David and family.

Hi Bruce,

I was so tired last night because we woke up early and went touring afterwards that's why I wasn't able to reply. Yesterday was so fun. Mr Young is very helpful. We are enjoying everything so far! The hotel is perfect and beautiful. Excited for our tour today. I will update you again later. :)

Hi Emma.  Going great so far.  Young is very good.  We are having dessert with him rift now.   Thank you for checking in.  Rick

Hi Emma.  Trip is going great!  Young is amazing.  We are in Jeju right now going to Busan tomorrow evening.  For our return to Lotte Seoul for 2 nights starting on August 1, can we request rooms in the new tower?  We liked the rooms in the old tower but would like to experience the new tower if possible.  Thanks. 

Rick

The exception of the little misunderstanding at the beginning, our South Korean our went really well. We thank you and the team for that. The guides, Young in Seoul, Victor in Jeju, Elena in Busan and Min Sug in Busan and Daegu were really good and they try everything to make us happy. We THANK YOU ALL for the effort.

Hello Siva.

 

Sorry for the late response just now I read your email. 

 

We just came back from South Korea. Mr. Young, our guide arrived on time from the Airport on day 1 and he is very helpful until we go back to the airport on our last day in South Korea.

 

Just want to thank you for your excellent job in assisting me to make this tour happened from day 1 to day 5 to be memorable and enjoyable. And our hotel(hotel sunbee) is excellent as well.

 

Again,thank you very much....

 

Regards,

 

Aida
