5.00Brian was great. Very knowledgeable about Korean history and also very knowledgeable about the sites. Even though it was an all day event, it went by fast. Definitely worth it!!

5.00We had a wonderful full day tour with Jin. She took our family of three all around Seoul and we loved her! She is super knowledgeable about Korean history and fun to spend the day with. She made sure we had a front row position for the changing of the guard, took us to the top of the tower and made sure we had a delicious authentic lunch. Her van had fantastic air conditioning for a hot June day and I do not know how she manages to drive in the traffic! I highly recommend her as she will make sure you see what you want and that you don’t miss anything. She will also make sure you get amazing photos of your day.
A great time!

5.00Jin was so sweet, kind, and hospitable. She explained every tour spot thoroughly and gave us time to walk around and shop. She had umbrellas and waters to keep us cool during the humid, sunny weather. Jin also recommended a delicious place for lunch. She took us to explore amazing places in Seoul, and even treated us to a snack. Thank you so much Jin for making our experience comfortable and smooth. We appreciate you so much.
Amazing overview of Seoul in a day!

5.00Our experience with Brian was fantastic! He was thoughtful, kind, very informative, and well-versed in Korean history. The pace of the tour was perfect. It allowed us to ask questions, slow down when we needed to, and he was very helpful in identifying areas where we can take the perfect pictures. The van was clean and cool. Lunch was delicious and local. Didn’t feel too touristy. This tour overall was well thought out, efficient and we enjoyed our time with Brian.
