    GJ absolutely made our day in Seoul unforgettable! She was incredibly friendly and welcoming, right from the start. Her knowledge of the city was impressive, and she was able to answer all of our questions in detail. Beyond the facts, GJ's passion for Seoul was contagious. She had engaging conversation, making the entire experience feel more like exploring the city with a friend. She was also incredibly flexible, adjusting the tour to our interests and ensuring we saw everything we wanted to see. Most importantly, GJ helped us create a truly unique experience. It wasn't just a cookie-cutter tour; she took the time to understand what we were hoping to get out of our day and made it happen. If you're looking for a fantastic tour guide in Seoul, look no further than GJ! You won't be disappointed.
