Sue was our guide and she did a fantastic job, giving really detailed information about Gyeongbokgung Palace and the broader historical context of how it functioned. We really enjoyed our tour and would recommend Sue highly as a guide. Her passion for Korean life and history really shone through.Thank you Sue, Simon and Siobhan from Ireland.
