“We had a great tour with Sookhee! We were in a smaller group, since we only did the half day tour, which was great, because we managed to be just ahead of the bigger groups. Therefore we reached each location before it got super crowded. On the day of our tour it started snowing, which was great for photos, but not so great for walking. Especially the small hike to the suspension bridge and the bridge itself were quite slippery. All in all we highly recommend the tour! (but in my honest opinion: avoid the Ginseng Latte 😅)”
