GJ was an amazing guide, she had lots of energy and was very knowledgeable! I said I wanted to see as much as possible during our 6 hours together and she did not disappoint. We went to a Palace, a political building, a temple, a tower with incredible views, ate some great traditional food at street markets and so much more. She helped me navigate the subway, taught me some Korean, and was a kind and imaginative photographer. It felt like I received a truly local and differentiated experience. I saw and learned a ton, and met an incredible person in the process - highly recommend!

Had a fantastic first ever visit to Seoul thanks to our guide, Ruth, who was very informative, conscientious, flexible with our interests and itinerary and fun. Went to some great spots we would not have discovered on our own and was very helpful with some great suggestions for future points of interest after our tour was over.
