    A challenging day to see the sites of Seoul, the day of the big BTS comeback concert. Our tour guide made the best of it and we saw all of Seoul that was open and met our interests. Tours with private guides are the best! When I think back over my travels I most often think of our local guides and remember fondly their friendliness, spirits and knowledge.

    Andrew was fantastic. He is so well educated on South Korea and the world that his perspective was so interesting. Not only did we see the main sights of Seoul which he customized for us, he also gave us a great understanding of the Korean people and culture. I highly recommend him!

    Amazing experience with Chris! We learned about the history, philosophy, and influences behind the buildings and neighborhoods we explored. Definitely would recommend, especially if you enjoy learning about that next level! We wound up thinking back to it for the duration of our visit.

    Besides being a wonderful guide, MaeRi is an amazing photographer. When we look bs k on our trip now, we realize that the best photographs are the one MaeRi took. She knew the best places to take us, the best background, the best poses - she is really amazing. She gave us a perfect window into the highlights of Seoul. Thank you MaeRi.
