My reviews

I loved how Yubin asked so many questions before the tour to cater for my interests. She was thoughtful and considerate of my needs. We managed to visit Buchon Hanok Village, Changdeokgung Palace and the secret garden and the National Museum of Korea all in one day! Yubin found a wonderful place to eat which allowed me my first taste of authentic Korean food. She is an excellent teacher showing me how to purchase a Tmoney card and ride the subway. I could ride the subway on my own after her tour! I learnt about so much Korean history from her and now have a better appreciation of the many periods of rule, from before the Goryeo period to the late Joseon period. Thank you for a wonderful day!

This tour is simply wonderful. My tour guide was organised and communicated well with me in the lead up to the tour. She asked a lot of questions to tailor the day to my interests before we started. We managed to see Changdeokgung Palace and the secret garden as well as Buchan Hanok Village and the National Museum of Korea. Before we started the day my guide showed me how to buy a Tmoney card and top it up. She also showed me the best apps for riding the subway. She was such a good teacher I was riding the subway on my own in peak hour like a pro at the end of the day! I learnt so much about Korean history in the one day and we had amazing Korean food together as well. It was the best way to learn about Korea as you can ask so many questions. Thank you for an amazing day!

Yubin was always planning and adapting to my needs through the day. She has a wonderful knowledge of Korean history through the ages and gave me wonderful information on the five palaces of Seoul and the history of Korea dating back to even before the Silla dynasty. Her choice of restaurant where I got to eat my first authentic Korean food was amazing. She even shared some of her own meal so I could taste what she was eating. I managed to see Changdeokgung Palace and the secret garden and the National Museum of Korea in the day. I cannot recommend Yubin enough. She was delightful company for this tour.

I did a private tour with Yubin and had a really great time on my first day in Seoul. She reached out to me a couple of days in advance to understand my interests (culture and food) and come up with a perfect customized tour. The tour exceeded my expectations and I can strongly recommend Yubin.
