Nice city tour with friendly and funny Andrew. He showed many sites throughout the rain affected 4 hours and we were walked away with a better understanding of Seoul and South Korea.

GJ is very knowledgeable, efficient & an absolute joy. She customized the tour to fit our needs (an elder, a child, heavier on the shopping & food tips) & left us pointers on others to see on our own. Highly recommend!

J
Jessica 22 March 2026

GJ was my host and she was so knowledgeable and accommodating. She put together a great line up of spots based on the interests I had communicated and I really appreciated her experience level and thoughtful nature that she brings to the tour experience always relating back to her guests and their perspective too. I am only in Seoul for 2 days and 2 nights so I very much appreciated my time with GJ - it was a perfect morning and so appreciative!

Fatma 18 March 2026

Great experience! The tour was very well organized and gave us the chance to see not only the most beautiful highlights of Seoul but also some hidden places we would never have discovered on our own. Bergen Park was an amazing guide—very knowledgeable, friendly, and he shared many interesting stories about the city and its culture. He also took the time to take beautiful photos of us and shared them afterwards, which made the experience even more special—like having a personal photographer throughout the tour. The whole experience felt very personal and relaxed, not rushed at all. I highly recommend this tour, especially with Bergen, to anyone visiting Seoul who wants to experience the city like a local.

To summarize Chris in one word: incredible. We ventured into this tour expecting a general initiation of the surrounding area and left with so much more. Chris introduced us to local artists, answered our hard-hitting culture questions regarding Chaebols and Japanese imperialism in Korea, and took us to a wonderful tea house, all while doing so in good humor and wit. He was wildly entertaining, and if you want a tour guide that knows Korean AND global history like the back of his hand, Chris is your guy. I can’t express enough how thankful I am to have had Chris as our tour guide. This tour experience will be one of the best takeaways of our trip to Seoul!

FAQs

Your questions, answered

Are experiences the same as tours?

No. Our experiences are unscripted and designed around you. Instead of following a rigid itinerary, your host will plan a personalized journey that feels natural, immersive, and unique.

What if I don’t know what I want to explore?

That’s completely fine! Select an experience theme or a flexible discovery experience, and after booking, answer a few questions so your host can design the perfect experience for you.

Will I be able to speak to my host beforehand?

Yes. After we match you with your host, we’ll introduce you so you can chat about the plan and make any tweaks before the day.

How do you match me with a host?

We ask a few questions. After you book, you’ll fill out a short questionnaire about your interests and travel style. We’ll then match you with the best local host to design your experience.

Can I request specific places or types of stops?

Yes! After booking, you will receive a questionnaire where you can highlight must-visit spots and anything else you’d like to include, and your host will craft your experience around them.

Will I know my itinerary in advance?

Yes, you will have the opportunity to chat with your host directly and agree on a plan for the day. However, there’s always room for spontaneity and local surprises!

Can I mix different themes in one experience?

Yes! You can blend food, culture, history, neighborhoods, or even a bit of nightlife if time allows. Just share your interests in the questionnaire, and your host will build the day around them.

Can my host meet me at my accommodation?

Hotel meet-ups are available upon request in central areas. If you're staying outside the city, your host will recommend the best meeting spot and guide you with directions.

Can I cancel if my plans change?

Yes. You can cancel for free up to 24 hours before your experience date—no questions asked.
