GJ was incredibly kind, knowledgeable and so fun to spend time with! She truly customized our day to show me and my teenaged daughter everything we wanted to see in Seoul and more. I highly recommend GJ as a guide. Her positive energy, warmth and willingness to match our desired pace and preferences for the day allowed us to have the best possible experience, and left us with a great impression of Seoul and all it has to offer. Thank you GJ!

Very knowledgeable about the various sites, especially the visit to the palace. She provided us invaluable insight into the history and culture of the time, which made the experience much more meaningful to us even on a cursory visit.
