    Bergen Park was an excellent guide. He customized the three hour to fit my interest in history and culture. The main palace tour and museum were excellent in spite of the cold! Bergen Park was knowledgeable and friendly while very capably handling my inane questions without ever being overbearing. He is a masterful photographer too! It was a pleasant morning, including a nice stroll through the eclectic neighborhoods of central Seoul. A great three hours of sightseeing and learning!

    Bergen was a great guide. Very knowledgeable. We only had a short stay in Seoul and he chose good highlights to show us. Would recommend.

    We really enjoyed our 4 hour tour of Seoul with Bergen. His communication before the tour was excellent. He chose some of the highlights of Seoul as we only had a short time in the city. He was very nice and interesting about the history of soul, particularly in recent times. He gave us a good insight into the city and showed a selection of attractions, including some of the older areas that are now restaurants. Would recommend
