Suyang did a wonderful job as my tour guide today. I was the only person on the tour, and I felt safe and was treated respectfully by him at all times, which is very important for women who are sightseeing without a companion.
He thoughtfully provided a bottle of water to begin our journey to the first temple, which he told interesting and entertaining anecdotes about. He walked at a gradual pace that I could easily keep up with. The temple grounds were beautiful and the buildings were ornate, and one could see and hear from a respectful distance the morning music and prayers.
Then we went to the flower market which was full of beautiful blooms, and then we visited the golden Buddha statue at the next temple and had a good vegetarian bibimbap meal. He showed me the grounds which has a gorgeous lily pond.
He also gave me lots of good information about finding vegetarian food near my hotel, as that is not always easy to do in Korea.
I would definitely recommend him as a tour guide, and the temples were interesting to visit.
