Latest reviews from our guests

    This is such a good way to find out about a city and its culture. We gave Oki an outline of the things we are interested in and she wove them into a really fascinating tour whilst helping us to understand the culture and history of this place. She has also helped us to plan our next 2 days to get the most out of them. Great value and much better than a tour guide’s tour.

    Yujin, my guide proposed a plan for the walking tour which I found amazing. We visited the city wall, various neighborhoods of different types, a market galleries, the main palace and much more. I felt simply lucky to be guided by her. She is professional and extremely friendly. I enjoyed the tour very much and I learned a lot about Seul. Thanks very much Yujin. You made my day!

    I loved the 1:1 interaction. We were able to ask so many questions about the location and Korea in general. Andrew is super personable and has SO much knowledge to pass along!

    Dec 5 my sister and I did a 3 hour tour with Paul in Seoul. He started our tour with a wonderful background on the religion, culture and history of Seoul. It provided incredible context for the rest of the tour. He brought so much insight into the details of the Changdeokgung palace. He got us tickets to view the secret garden and continued to impress us with such detail. It made the visit feel well rounded and captivating. Paul continued our tour around Bukchon Hanok Village and showed us many incredible view points. He always knew the best places for the best pictures. We continued our tour through Insadong and Ikseondong. He made sure we saw such a variety of places and add such depth of knowledge. It was such an incredible way to see Seoul and learn about the incredible culture and history.
