My reviews

Had a great 4 hour private walking tour. Jay was friendly, knowledgeable, and fun. Showed me a number of key sites, and we walked through multiple neighborhoods. The advantage of the private tour was we got to go at my speed (probably a bit faster than most tourist groups), which was great. Highly recommend.

And only a short two hours, we would learned a lot about Seoul, the history of South Korea and checked out many shopping/eating sites. This is a very tourist, friendly city and I wish we could’ve stayed longer.
