My reviews
-
Hans was a great host. He shared his home town with us in the detail we were interested in. He asked, in advance, what we were interested in and used this to build a personal tour. We really enjoyed it.

Hans was an excellent, knowledgeable guide who shared his love for his city. His English was excellent - clear, articulate and easy to follow. One is lucky to get him as a guide. As couple we have some special needs, which Hans handled respectfully, professionally and very helpfully.

We had an incredible experience on our walking tour of Seoul! Our guide, Hans Kim, was absolutely fantastic — knowledgeable, friendly, and super accommodating. He went above and beyond by helping us arrange Hanboks for our visit to the palace, which made the experience even more special. Hans also took amazing photos for us throughout the tour, capturing memories we’ll treasure forever. Everything was well-paced, informative, and so much fun. Highly recommend this tour and especially Hans if you’re looking for an unforgettable day in Seoul!

Hans Kim did a great job showing myself and my 18 year old son around Seoul. He reached out early to confirm, arrived right on time and helped us make the most of a few hours. He did a good job sharing his cultural and historical knowledge while keeping us moving and entertained.
