Thank you, Ms. Rose and Access Travel, for making our Christmas vacation possible!
Even though you were only given a short time to plan and arrange our requests, you still provided us with excellent service.
Everything went smoothly during our eight days in South Korea. We visited Jeju, Busan, and Seoul with ease. No hassle! Which is what I want my family to experience.
Our guide, Ms. Sophie, handled my family's needs well. She even recommended local restaurants and places for us to try. It adds to the experience.
I can’t wait to visit more countries with Access Travel!
I always travel for vacation and to explore other countries. What I love most about this trip are the sites, accommodation, the food and the smooth travel schedule.
I will share the travel tips and hacks when traveling, which are to always be prepared, get early to the airport as long as you can, and keep everything important in your daypack. I choose to #TravelWithAccess based on other people’s feedback.
I choose #TravelwithAccess because they had an affordable package for this specific tour (vs our former agency).
We think that Access carefully selects the places that will be included in the tour. I loved the most about this Korea trip the food, and our tour guide was great. I learned a lot from her because she shared a lot of things about Korea (place itself, people/culture), highlighted the differences vs. ours (Filipinos) and knows quite a lot about us and even speaks a lot of Tagalog words. Fluent in English. She was also very passionate, entertaining, caring, and patient, and she managed the group well, especially since the majority were senior citizens and some were quite challenging to handle.
