    Steve was a fabulous guide and showed us the Seoul highlights and told us unique stories. He was generous with his time and directed us to KOONG | Gaeseong Dumpling House in Jongno District which was amazing. A great way to see some of the highlights and unique villages in 3 hours.

    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!
