Paul was very knowledgeable and gave a very good foundation of Korean history and culture to build on for the rest of our stay in South Korea.

We had a wonderful time and tour with Thomas for our day in Seoul. It was a wet day and Thomas made it much more enjoyable with close drop offs in a private car to main sites and also provided umbrellas. As an added bonus he gave us a bunch of professional pictures to remember our tour. Highly recommend!

Our 1/2 day with Jiwan has been the highlight of our trip to Seoul .. we opted for a more Unstructured tour (myself and my 11 year old son) so we could go where the mood took us .. Jiwan was so knowledgeable, so friendly and my son was so sad when the tour finished :). We had street food, market shopping (Jiwan had even researched what my son might like to buy), help to navigate the metro, we really had a great time and would highly recommend Jiwan to anyone wanting a friendly knowledgeable tour guide (and his english was great as well!).

And only a short two hours, we would learned a lot about Seoul, the history of South Korea and checked out many shopping/eating sites. This is a very tourist, friendly city and I wish we could’ve stayed longer.

This personalized tour exceeded all expectations! We visited iconic spots like Gyeongbokgung Palace, Bukchon Hanok Village, and Jogyesa Temple—each brought to life by our fantastic guide, who was not only friendly and welcoming but also incredibly knowledgeable. Her insights added so much depth to each location, and she made sure the experience felt tailored just for us. What made the tour extra special were the hidden gems she introduced us to—places we never would have discovered on our own. She really took the time to show us both the highlights and the local secrets. This included finding the “cookies” with the circle, square, triangle, and umbrella shapes from Squid Games. We ended the tour at a bustling local market, where she kindly helped us order lunch before saying goodbye. A perfect blend of culture, history, and local flavor—highly recommended!
