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!

GJ was very nice and knowledgeable about the city. She was accommodating for our group and shared some nice local knowledge about both history and current events. She shared as much as we asked for. Thank you!

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.

GJ was fantastic on my personalised tour. Nothing was too much trouble. She catered for all my preferred sites in Seoul across four hours. I’m surprised how much she fit in. An incredible experience of a beautiful city. I want to come back and have the pleasure of GJ’s company again :)
