This was a wonderful...

5.00This was a wonderful time. I was the only participant of this tour and they still made it happen, other tours I’ve booked for my week and Seoul canceled if they did not have more than one person. Min Soo was wonderful and easy to talk to. It was a great way to see Gangnam and it ended with a fantastic meal.
Min Soo was an excellent, down-to-earth guide!

5.00I had a really fun time with Min Soo as my guide! He told me a lot of facts and historical tidbits about each location that we visited in Gangnam that you wouldn't normally find with just a quick Google search, plus tips about how most Koreans enjoy their bbq and which Korean dishes go great with others, in addition to places he recommends next time I come to Seoul. Definitely would love to have him as a guide for another tour around this great city!
What a great way to kickstart our Seoul vacation

My Favorite Memories from Korea

5.00Exploring Korea through these beautiful places was one of the most memorable parts of my trip. From the peaceful traditional temples to the lively streets filled with local culture, every location had its own unique charm and atmosphere. What impressed me the most was how Korea perfectly blends modern city life with deep historical tradition. Walking through the hanok village and visiting the temple made me feel calm and connected to Korean culture, while places like the famous library and busy shopping streets showed the energetic side of Seoul. I also loved hearing local stories and recommendations during the trip. Those small details helped me experience Korea beyond the typical tourist spots and made the journey feel much more authentic. And of course, the food was incredible! Every meal I tried was delicious and honestly made me want to stay in Korea even longer. I truly recommend visiting these places if you want to experience both the traditional beauty and modern lifestyle of Korea in one trip!

5.00This was a good way to see Gangnam with a BBQ lunch. Meet Min at the station and we went to Buddhist Temple, Gangnam Hands statue, Starfield Libarary and the Coex. Then we hand a Korean BBQ lunch.
