My reviews

We had a fantastic half-day tour of Seoul with Andrew! He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much insight into the city’s history and culture. Andrew kept us cool and comfortable despite the summer heat, and we loved how he took us to unique, out-of-the-way spots we wouldn’t have found on our own. A real highlight was exploring the food market and finishing with a delicious local lunch. Highly recommend!

The best part of this tour was that our host, Andrew, was able to tailor it to the interests of the 3 teenage girls I was traveling with. He was very patient and accommodating. My daughter requested to see places where her favourite Kdrama was filmed and he showed us exactly that and much more that caught their attention. They even wanted to go back to some of the places like, Cafe Street, after the tour was done.
