I had an amazing time with Veronica! Veronica is wonderful, very kind and funny. She is very flexible in the itinerary and can adapt the tour to personal preferences and needs. A private pick up and drop off from your accommodation is included in the tour which I really appreciated and which makes things a lot easier and comfortable. Veronica is very knowledgeable, and I learned a lot about the area around Gwangju, Boseong and the South Joella province. She took me to all these hidden gems e.g. the walk around the lake or a small traditional hanok village. The tea fields of Boseong are definitely worth a visit! The views over the tea fields are stunning. The tea ceremony included in the tour was very private and personal. It was just Veronica and I, and the instructor. You learn how important the correct preparation of tea is. I enjoyed the tour greatly, and really recommend it! Thank you, Veronica!! P.S. I’m vegan and I really appreciate how Veronica tried to accommodate to my dietary needs. The food was delicious!!

Although private tours are expensive, this has everything to cover and everything else is already paid for! Veronica was very nice and friendly and went above and beyond, it felt like hanging out with a new friend for the entire day. Thank you Veronica again! Definitely recommended for people who can fit in their budget and wants to visit the Boseong Green Tea Village without tedious bus/train rides.

We had a marvelous day. Our guide was very nice, professional and went to great length to accomodate our needs and interests. In addition to the touristic sites such as the tea plantation and the tea museum - I really recommend the tea ceremony btw - we visited a local restaurant and more remote spots and had a relaxing walk around a beautiful water reservoir which ended at a vinegar producer/cafe with an extremely peaceful and trendy ambiance. We enjoyed the day and will never forget all the beautiful places we have seen.

I absolutely LOVED this tour. I was a solo traveler and Veronica was an amazing guide. She is very knowledge about Gwangju and surrounding areas. I enjoyed learning from her and the places chosen. I highly recommend this tour. Also all the photos I uploaded were taken by Veronica so also an amazing photographer. She will pick you up from your hotel and she was super nice and friendly. I enjoyed all of the time spent on this tour and the places we went. I was unable to upload the tea farm photograph she took, but that place was amazing as well! Highly recommend this tour as a solo traveler or if you are with others. Amazing experience for me.
