“James was a very kind guide. Thanks to him, my husband and I were able to have a happy time. It's a really, really recommended tour! I was not fluent in English. But he was kind. I really want to study English hard and talk more when I meet him next time. :) He was the best guide. And everyone I met on the tour was kind and sweet. Especially, lunch was the best meal. The husband picked the beef he had for lunch as the most delicious food he had in Australia. It was the most memorable day of my trip. 영어 투어라서 살짝 걱정했는데, 가이드 분께서 정말 친절하셨어요.…”
