As a second generation Korean-American, vacation time can be stressful. I’m an American, yet my parents are first generation Koreans, on top of that I’m a newly wed whose wife and mother and law are coming as well. There always is dissonance when deciding where our annual family vacation will be, and the pressure is immense because it is our only time off and that time is precious.
I chose OK Tours because they are a Korean company who can accommodate our parents and help them understand the Jasper-Banff tour better than my wife and I can ever explain. We lacked nothing in terms of accommodations and the doubt of a tour guide as “cheating” quickly left our minds as the detailed accommodations and value OK tours was able to provide was something we can never arrange ourselves. For over 10 years I had to plan, drive, and navigate all vacations. Vacations did not feel like vacations for me. For the first time in my life I let someone else take the wheel and I never had a more enjoyable and restful experience. Being driven to all the key points in the tour, napping between spots, having someone check in and out, and having our food ready upon arrival with the tab already taken care of was the #1 comfort for me as the point man my whole family turns to. The tour has access to things at the parks you can’t access going independently and the waiting times are cut drastically as you never have to fight for parking. It was truly the first time in my life I had a “vacation”. All because tour guide Kim was my point man and OK tours staff support. I would 100% recommend OK tours for your family vacation and 110% endorse tour guide Kim Yoonhae (김윤회) and driver Lee ByungChang (이병창) It would be worth adjusting your dates to catch his tour. It was a rare time I have to say this trip was money and time well spent.
