What travelers think of our Seoul experiences

We had a fabulous morning with GJ (Jee Eun). She tailored the tour to fit our family's interests and desires. We got to enjoy so many sites and experiences that we would not have managed ourselves. We traveled with our 3 kids (18-20) and everyone enjoyed the tour. GJ is incredibly personable and cheerful and made the tour extra special. We've traveled to many countries and have had many tours, but GJ is our best tour guide to date. Communication before the tour was excellent! If you are considering booking this tour, we highly recommend it! Thanks so much GJ!

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!).
