What travelers think of this experience
Our Seoul city walk with GJ was an absolute delight. The route was thoughtfully curated, blending stories, history, and hidden gems that we would’ve otherwise walked right past. What really stood out was how effortless the whole experience felt — relaxed pacing, great conversation, and a guide who clearly loves the city. By the end of it, we didn’t feel like tourists ticking off sights… it genuinely felt like we were experiencing Seoul the way locals do. A perfect way to connect with the city on a deeper level. Thank you GJ!
Show moreWe had an incredible time with Kevin! He was so knowledgeable about the best parts of the city and even gave us tips on where to go next. The experience was really excellent and felt personal to us
Show moreSteve, our guide was amazing. We were in Seoul for only 23 hours but he packed in a lot of history and sightseeing into our tour. Highly recommended. Steve was very knowledgeable and kind!
Show moreSuper helpful about Seoul and showed us the best places all within 15 minutes of our hotel, to eat and of cultural interest. Palace and Hanok was the best thing we have done for a long time. We would not have found half the places without the tour and was just what we needed on our first day to really start to get to know Seoul
Show moreI enjoyed walking Seoul with a local and being introduced to places I would have never known about.
Show moreJay was fantastic starting with when we first signed up all the way through our experience. He was fantastic at communicating and finding out our preferences in advance.
