Jeeseon Choi was absolutely amazing! She took me to everything I wanted to see and more! She was very easy to talk with and I would love to have her as my guide, if I ever come back to Korea!

Jeeseon was an incredible guide, and I wholeheartedly recommend her tour to anyone visiting Korea! From the moment we met, it felt like I was exploring the city with an old friend - someone warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about sharing her culture. Her itinerary was thoughtfully prepared and executed with impressive efficiency, making the entire experience seamless and stress-free. The tour was punctuated with rich local and cultural experiences that added depth and authenticity to every stop. Jeeseon also shared fascinating trivia and insights throughout - little-known facts and cultural context that you simply wouldn’t get from a guidebook. It was extremely informative, yet never overwhelming, and always engaging. The 6 hours flew by, filled with meaningful conversations, laughter, and eye-opening moments. She even went above and beyond to help me get to my next tour - something I truly appreciated. If you’re curious about Korea beyond the surface, this is the tour to take.

What a wonderful first day in Seoul! Jeeson helped us with the ATM machine and purchasing T-cards before heading to the Palace and Secret Garden Tour. The street food and market walk afterwards was fun, interesting and delicious! So enjoyed our time with Jeesun
