GJ was incredibly kind, knowledgeable and so fun to spend time with! She truly customized our day to show me and my teenaged daughter everything we wanted to see in Seoul and more. I highly recommend GJ as a guide. Her positive energy, warmth and willingness to match our desired pace and preferences for the day allowed us to have the best possible experience, and left us with a great impression of Seoul and all it has to offer. Thank you GJ!

My wife and I had a half-day tour with Andrew, who clearly knows the city of Seoul very well (formerly worked for the government). Andrew was kind, professional, and respectful and despite having a rainy day throughout our tour managed to make the tour extremely enjoyable and memorable. Highly recommended tour!
