Traveler reviews
Boat cancelled so rebooked on a completely different tour
Really disappointed cancelled within 24 hours of departure, because of boat maintenance reasons ( yet still available for purchase online) they transfered us to another tour but no information just the name, no tour company name and a later time and different location pickup. Other people were the same as us, we had no idea what the shedule was just that we were doing a bridge and tunnel 3. We had booked for tunnel 2, village and boat ride. This was plk travel. Not sure if the tour we were rebooked on was with them but do not eat under any circumstances the $10 000won buffet lunch, go to the end of street and get kfc, the lunch they took us to was the worst ever!!
Great tour even without a boat ride
Jin from PLK travel was phenomenal - very personable and made it a perfect outing. The boat ride was not available and they let us know the night before which was helpful.
The package we selected...
The package we selected with the boat tour became unavailable due to maintenance issues with the boat. They were quick to reach out to us to notify and offer us other options and for the same price. Chloe was our tour guide and was absolutely amazing. Nothing but smiles and good energy the whole time. She made it a great experience for us. Thank you Chloe!
