GJ was awesome! On time and friendly right from the start. It was a rainy day but she still made it fun and interesting. I loved in Seoul 40 years ago and she totally helped my walk down memory lane. She even found my old apartment that I used to live in! She also gave me information on where to shop, where to eat and where to get the world famous Korean Body Scrub. She was just amazing and I would highly recommend this fun, friendly and energetic young lady to anyone who wants a totally custom tour of Seoul! A 5 star tour guide for sure!

GJ was an awesome guide! She cheerfully, expertly led us through palaces, statues, street markets, Seoul Tower and more on buses and subways engaging us with Korean history all the while! Highly recommend!

GJ was an amazing guide. She took me to see all the typical sites and taught me (at my request) how to figure out public transportation and find unique spots for my future solo travels during this trip. Incredibly patient, she didn't mind the many shopping detours I couldn't pass up. Most importantly, she helped me improve my awkward posing for photos. Such a fun and educational day.
