Maeri made me feel like I was exploring the city with my best friend. I could not have picked a better person to explore the city with. I would 100% spend another 10 hours with her, her knowledge, and her energy.

Young was one of the best tour guides we have ever toured with. Young picked us up in our unconventional meeting location (the Laneige store in Myeong-dong), and proceeded to take us on a wonderful walking tour of Seoul. On our tour, we saw all of the major highlights of the city, as well as some hidden gems. Young took us to make museums and lookout points around the city. At the end of our tour, Young gave us advice for where to eat and what to see in the rest of our limited time in Seoul. Young is a PhD candidate studying Korean history, so he is very knowledgable about the city and he was able to answer any and all of our questions about Korean history, heritage, and culture. Young also knows the city very well and we felt very comfortable joining him all over the city. Apart from this, Young was very friendly and personable. we loved talking to him and learning about his life in Seoul. He told us about his travels as well, and we developed a friendship. We would recommend Young's tours to anyone traveling to Korea. Thank you, Young!

The meeting point needs to be updated. We met at the location provided by the reminder email and it was a different spot. This was not the guides fault at all.

Bergen was an exceptional host to our walking tour through Seoul. Due to the heat, he was very accommodating to our requests to take public transportation (and trained us how to use the subway system which was very helpful for the rest of our trip!). We enjoyed the history explanations, visit to the palace, and especially the Hanok village and noodles for lunch. A great way to see Seoul for first time visitors!
