We had a fantastic city tour with GJ, and she truly made the experience memorable. She was extremely enthusiastic from the moment we met her, and her energy kept the entire tour lively and engaging. GJ is incredibly knowledgeable—she shared fascinating insights, local stories, and historical details that added so much depth to each stop. She handled our questions with ease and made sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves throughout. Overall, it was an excellent tour, and GJ’s passion for her city really shone through. We would highly recommend her to anyone visiting Seoul and looking for an informative, fun, and well-guided experience.

Our Seoul city walk with GJ was an absolute delight. The route was thoughtfully curated, blending stories, history, and hidden gems that we would’ve otherwise walked right past. What really stood out was how effortless the whole experience felt — relaxed pacing, great conversation, and a guide who clearly loves the city. By the end of it, we didn’t feel like tourists ticking off sights… it genuinely felt like we were experiencing Seoul the way locals do. A perfect way to connect with the city on a deeper level. Thank you GJ!

Super helpful about Seoul and showed us the best places all within 15 minutes of our hotel, to eat and of cultural interest. Palace and Hanok was the best thing we have done for a long time. We would not have found half the places without the tour and was just what we needed on our first day to really start to get to know Seoul
