Our 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.

We 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!

I 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.
