Hi! I am planning to visit Ulleungdo Island around June 29. I do not speak Korean, and I am looking for a personal tour guide for a couple of days to explore the island. Would you be available around that time? Please let me know, as this is the top place that I want to visit during my 2-week vacation in Korea! Thank you!
