Seoul has the best of both worlds- modern living and natural beauty. I love the fast-paced city life but sometimes I need to take my bike out into nature. Hiking up mountains, driving along the Han river and admiring the twinkling lights or just relaxing with a Korean rice beer or two. I'm also always trying to find the city's hidden gems and best restaurants, which keeps me busy, but when I'm not exploring I play the drums in a band. I like diversity, and I'd like to make our time exploring the city as interesting and diverse as possible.

Brian was down in the lobby waiting for us. He first took us to a very nice coffee shop. It has to be one of the nicest coffee shops I’ve been in the world. We then went to the food market where we had traditional Korean food our last stop was having fried chicken at one of the most popular chicken restaurants. What we liked most about Brian was his politeness, easy conversationalist, knowledge about Seoul and overall demeanor. He followed up by sending us a name of pork belly restaurant. Thank you Brian for the time you spent with us.

Brian was a wonderful guide! He gave us the perfect introduction to Seoul. First, we went to Gyeongbok Palace, and he brought the history alive. We loved hearing about the customs and what life was like back then. Next, he took us to an amazing restaurant for lunch, and it was definitely not a place we would have found on our own. To end our tour, we visited a Hanok village. Brian was such a great tour guide that we wished we would have booked a longer tour!

We had the most lovely, informative and invigorating tour of Seoul with Brian! We cannot recommend him nor his tours highly enough. We not only felt like we saw all that we had hoped to see and more, but we felt like we did so at a pace that was perfect for us. Brian went out of his way to book us a traditional Korean lunch (while being mindful of our dietary restrictions!), find places (museums, sites, etc.) throughout the day that were specific to our interests and make sure that we had perfect pictures taken to remember the day with. We were so grateful for the time he took to craft the perfect tour for us and for his attention to detail, knowledge and kind demeanor. It is evident that Brian knows Seoul and Korean culture well - and he does a brilliant job of communicating that to his guests.
