Dear Joanna,rnrnThank you so much for arranging our 7D/6N tour of Busan, Gyeongju, Andong and Jeju. I really appreciate your quick replies to my numerous queries and emails. rnWe had a blast with Ms Kim in Busan, Gyeongju and Andong. Ms Kim is always smiling and she tells us about the places we visit, folklore and legends, too. we gossiped about Korean actors and actresses, we chitchat about K dramas. Ms Kim took us to a shop in Gukje market where we bought cheaper souvenirs.rnWe had 2 drivers for Busan, Gyeongju and Andong. Both Mr Choi speak little English but were good. The car was comfortable, just enough for the 7 of us. When we arrived at Gimhae Airport, our luggage were sent to our hotel in a separate car.rnJeju didn't impress us much, it was made worse with Cindy, who was supposed to be our tour guide for Jeju. Cindy met us with her stern face at Jeju airport. Her car was barely big enough for the 7 of us with our 7 pieces of medium size luggage. She was more concerned with her new car then being a tour guide. For the 2 days in Jeju, Cindy was just the driver, not a tour guide. Cindy would drive us to a location with little or no explanation, tell us which way to go, she would sit and wait in her new car or wait for us in a cafe. rnShe didn't do her homework before meeting us. She asked where we are from, asked to see our itinerary. And when she spoke to us, it seemed that she was doing us a favor. Cindy should have warn us that we were to be locked up in a little room at Seongeup Folk Village to listen to the sale pitch!rnOn our last day in Jeju, Cindy reminded me that she took 2 coastal roads for the scenic drive to our location(in our itinerary).rnHotels in both cities were strategically located, places to shop and eat are near by.rnOn the whole, the trip was good, and we would definitely use Novaland Tours again.rnrnRegards,rnNanie Yang

We were very pleased with our tours in Seoul and Jeju island. Both tour guides were knowledgeable, professional, accommodating and flexible to our needs. The airport transfers and the flight to Jeju were also easy. We were very happy with everything. We will use Novaland again when we travel to Asia.

Hi LillianrnThank you for follow up with me – very much appreciated!! Sorry for late reply – just got over the jetlag!!rn rnOur trip would have been better if the weather cooperated with us, unfortunately it didn’t, but thanks to Mr. Young suggested that we switch the day so we can enjoyed Cherry Blossom festival without the rain, the following day didn’t turn out as expected due to bad weather. rn rnLove Jeju Island – the Coach tour was good, we made new friends. The only improvement I would suggest – should have arrangement for pick up at the airport arrival instead of having us taking taxi, luckily we managed to find the van taxi to fit 4 of us and luggage otherwise we have to take 2 taxi and that wouldn’t be good because the ladies already worried as is for the unknown places…rn rnBusan - could of be better but it rain the whole time, I was disappointed but no one to blame other then mother nature…rn rnAfter we stayed in the other 2 hotels – Sunbee and Ever Hotel it was good and spacious, Toyoko Inn we found the room was pretty small – that you can improved.rn rnUnfortunately Mom got sick the last 3 days in Busan; it limited our tour and enjoyment…rn rnOverall – the trip was good and well arranged other then bad weather and mom got sick; I would love to spend more time in Seoul as it has lots of history. Perhaps in the future I will take my husband with me and will definitely use your service again.rn rnI would like to give special “BIG THANK YOU” to Mr. Young for trying to make my trip as pleasant as possible and went beyond his personal time to show me around night tour in Seoul… greatly appreciated!!rn rnThank you again Lillian for the great service you’ve given me…rn rnHope to you again in the near future!!rn rnPs: how was Thailand trip? Did you enjoy it?rn rnBest Regards,rnBonnie

Attention Alice ChenrnrnDear Alice,rnrnOn behalf of our fellow travellers, Kevin Allan, Nessa Black, Ken and Angela McMaster, Maureen O'Connor and ourselves, Norm and Carol Yarwood we would like to thank you so much for all the time you took in organizing such a wonderful 5 days in Japan for us.rnrnThe guides were excellent Ari (Tokyo) picked us up at Yokohama with a big smile on his face willing to help us with our cases. Nothing was a trouble to him and for the two days in Tokyo he made it so easy to get around and pointed out places of interest. He put us on the Bullet Train to Kyoto after an amazing day at Mt Fuji. We were met by our very helpful driver who was very friendly and made sure we got to our rooms in our hotel. Next morning we were met by Kotani (Ali) who was excellent. She was so informative with all her knowledge about the Temples, Castle and Palace. When she took us to the station as small as she is she still wanted to help us with our luggage. She gave me instructions about who would be picking us up in Tokyo and where he would be. It worked out well.rnrnIt will be a wonderful memory for us all. I am going to send some photos to you. There is one of Ari with Norm and myself (Carol)

Dear Tina,rnrnFinally I have time now to give you my feedback.rnI am glade you ask for them and I hope you will see my comments as constructive and not as complains.rnrnOverall we were satisfied with the services provided by your company. Your quick responds as we were planing the trip was outstanding.rnThe guide provided in Seoul was outstanding but I could not say the same thing about the one in Busan. She was knowledgeable but would need a bit of training on how to interact with tourists.rnThe driver in Busan should be inform that tourist are coming to relax and not be stress by his driving. We had to ask him to slow down. At one point he was going at 145 km/h in construction zone. rnFinally I think some proactive advises could help tourists like us in planning costume made tours even if you have to charge more money. For example we could have been advise that the JSA at DMZ was close on the Saturday and go there on the Friday and visit Seoul on the Saturday.rnFor us it was a big disappointment not visiting the JSA. I not even sure it worthwhile to go all the way to DMZ if you are not to go see the JSA.rnrnAgain I hope you take my comments as constructive.

Dear Emma, rnrnThank you for your follow-up email with me. I have just returned from Asia trip ( I also went to Shanghai and Taiwan to visit family after Korea) this past weekend. I very much enjoyed my time in Korea and the tour provided by Novaland! My responses in regards to your questions below: rnrn1. How is our service throughout your tour from any aspects you feel? Such as our travel consultant, tour guide’s, drivers or others’ attitude; hotels, transportations, scenic spots’ arrangement; and any other words you would like to say to me.rnResponse: I was very happy with the overall service provided by travel consultant, my personal tour guide Mr. Young, the hotel staff, drivers, and all that I encountered in Korea. I found the locals in Korea to be friendly and very helpful to tourists. I know that on the first day of arriving in Korea, I had missed Mr. Young picking me up at the airport, and appreciated both you, Mr. Young, and the hotel staff following up to make sure I arrived safely at hotel that night. I feel that everyone was always professional and courteous and made great effort to ensure that I was comfortable and happy! =D rnrnI was impressed by Sunbee Hotel. The Hotel service staff was very nice and knowledgeable about the area and activities nearby and my stay there felt like home. The location was convenient and had everything I needed. This accomodation was a great value for the price and I enjoyed the daily breakfast that was included there! Sunbee Hotel that Novaland arranged for me in Seoul, Korea had better overall service and resources than the 4 star Ocean Palace Hotel that I arranged for myself in Jeju Island, Korea..haha. rnrnMy vacation in Korea was also really fun because Mr. Young was a wonderful tour guide! I was impressed by the personal service that I received during my four days in Seoul and he drove me everywhere I wanted to go. I am pleased that Novaland was able to provide me with my own personal guide to take me to all the places I wanted to visit. I like how customized and personal my tour was. Since Mr. Young was around my age, it was good because he also understood the things I would be most interested in seeing and we had some insightful conversations about Korean history and culture. I was able to visit everything on my sightsee list and also some additional locations and local Korean food that he suggested and I enjoyed. I can tell that Mr. Young worked very hard and sometimes went above and beyond what I have experienced with tour guides in the past - he went shopping with me and carried all my shopping bags, as well as picked me up after dinner with my friends to ensure that I got back to hotel safely. Mr. Young was very nice, attentive, supportive, and knowledgeable about all the scenic locations we visited, and he always made sure that I was comfortable during our travels and that I saw all the best highlights in Korea. Great job!rnrnI would recommend Sunbee Hotel, Mr. Young as tour guide, and also Novaland to my friends who may want to visit Asia in the future. (=rnrn2. Where can we improve to be better and stronger?rnResponse: I feel that Novaland was a bit expensive, and that tip to guests who arrive at Airport and cannot find Novaland driver should be advised to have information desk call local telephone number for them since we may have difficulty reaching local telephone operator. Also, in the case with me where I missed the driver on the arrival day, if the driver can stand closer to the international exit door instead of on the side facing the arrival gate in case we don't see them the first time and have turned around to look for them holding sign. rnrn3. Other comments or memorable moments?rnResponse: I enjoyed trying Sannakji (live Octopus in Korea), it was quite an adventure! as well as visiting the Hanbok villages, shopping in Myeongdong, and additional local highlights that Mr. Young took me to. Thank you for providing an enjoyable tour for me in Korea!rnrnKind Regards,

We had a very emjoyable first day. Lots to see eat & do. Looking forward to another supee fun tomorrow.rnrnDear Alice,rnrnThis is to let you know that all of us found our packaged tour in Sapporo/La Toya to our utmost satisfaction. This is largely due to our very gracious and knowledgeable tour guide, Ms Kiyoe Narita.rnrnMs. Narita has honed her skills so well in handling tourists and provided many valuable insights and tips that rendered our stay even more productive and memorable.rnrnIn La Toya, she did not leave until the problem of erroneous room booking was settled. For this, I request that you reimburse her for the overseas call charges she incurred while settling the issue between Novaland and La Toya Resort.rnrnSince posting pictures of our daily tours on Facebook, I have received queries on who our travel agent is and the logistics of such a holiday. You can well expect that I will be recommending Novaland Tours to these friends.rnrnOnce again, thank you for an enjoyable trip which was my 60th birthday treat.rnrnJosie Aliwalas
