My wife and I had a half-day tour with Andrew, who clearly knows the city of Seoul very well (formerly worked for the government). Andrew was kind, professional, and respectful and despite having a rainy day throughout our tour managed to make the tour extremely enjoyable and memorable. Highly recommended tour!

Bernhard Jun 2025

Thomas May 2025

Andrew was a very very nice guide! He showed us a lot of beautiful things. So we get a great overview of the whole city. We booked the 6 hours tour

Alan May 2025

Hans was a great host. He shared his home town with us in the detail we were interested in. He asked, in advance, what we were interested in and used this to build a personal tour. We really enjoyed it.
