Kichan hat für uns eine ganz tolle Tour vorbereitet, könnte ich 10 Sterne vergeben, so würde ich es tun! Man erfährt sooooo viel über die Historie Koreas, aber auch über die Verbindungen und Interessen anderer Staaten im Zusammenhang mit globaler Geschichte! Eine Tour, die einem ganz viele Blickpunkte eröffnet!Kichan hat diese Tour didaktisch ganz toll aufgebaut. Er hat uns zuerst einen Zeitrahmen gegeben und ist dann später Punkt für Punkt ins Detail gegangen. Das war super!Wir können diese Tour uneingeschränkt empfehlen. Bisher der beste Tag in Korea für uns! Also alle Punkte mit 5 Sternen erfüllt!!!! Danke lieber Kichan!

This was a fantastic tour! Tour included a detailed overview of the Korean war in only two hours. I was incredibly impressed with how much history we covered in the short amount of time. Highly recommend to get the most out of your museum visit, especially if you don't have a lot of time. Guide was knowledgeable, friendly, passionate, and (most importantly) very balanced in his tour. I don't think I have ever learned so much history in such a brief period of time! This made for a great start to my visit to Seoul.

It was great! One of the best two tours I have had in my life and I shave traveled the globe. Our guide was knowledgeable and even though his political stance obvious, he did a nice job giving both sides of the story which actually gave the tour a richer dynamic. I honestly feel I could tell the story of the Korean War to anyone based on the amazing-ness of this tour guide. I will recommend him to all of my family and friends. Very good! 5 stars!
