What travelers think of our Seoul experiences
GJ went above and beyond on our tour, she was very knowledgeable and accommodating. She showed me so many highly sought after tourists spots and took the BEST PICTURES!!!
Show moreAndrew was a great guide. He provided lots of color and knowledge that added a lot of depth to the tour. He also did a great job of maximizing the time we had for our tour.
Show moreOur guide Paul was extremely knowledgeable in the culture and sights of Seoul. He was also very flexible with our schedule and what we wanted to see. We wanted to try Korean street food which was not on our original itinerary and he showed us a fabulous culinary experience.
Show moreHe explained the context of what we were doing (ie. history and personal experience). He found an incredible Vegan restaurant for a unique experience.
Show moreWe toured Seoul as a layover tour with Oki, and we loved it! Oki took the time to figure out our personal preferences and helped clarify the navigation directions so we could spend the most time exploring the city. We would definitely request another tour with Oki!
Show moreI had the pleasure of having Yujin be my guide on two tours while I was in Seoul, South Korea. She took me on a food tour of multiple markets and also gave me a separate tour of Seoul from both a cultural and historical aspect. She was a great guide that was very friendly and knowledgeable. Her english was very good and she makes you feel very comfortable throughout the tour. It was a very fun set of tours and I would highly recommend using City Unscripted and Yujin if you are in South Korea.

What you’ll do
“My favorite part of the holiday was my layover,” said no one ever.
So, join one of our Seoul hosts, and don’t waste time sitting in the airport on your layover in Seoul. There’s time for some exciting sightseeing and whistlestop adventures.
Let us worry about getting you back to the airport on time for your connecting flight and bust out of the terminal and onto the tarmac. Regardless of your time constraints, you can experience this sleek city.
Its excellent public transport means no attraction is out of reach, so why not check out Dongdaemun Design Plaza or the City Hall for some great examples of futuristic Seoulean architecture?
Alternatively, you could get back to basics in the Bukchon Hanok Village, which celebrates traditional culture. Stroll along the beautifully landscaped parks beside Cheong-gye stream or pick up tasty local street food at a nearby kiosk.
Seoul is bound to leave you questioning whether you need to catch a plane back home.
