5.00Cristian our guide was open, kind and friendly. He was smiling and you can see that he enjoyed being our guide. Even though english was the primary language he knew we spoke spanish and vwry kindly tried to use his spanish too. He gave us directions to some other atractions we wanted to visit the day after. Thank you very much to Tripper for answering to all our questions in a fast clear way, and for helping us to have a perfect first day in Korea. We loved all we got to see.

5.00Chris was an amazing guide! He was very knowledgable and personable. An itinerary was sent to us for review to see if any changes needed to be made but we stuck with it and couldn’t be happier. Thank you for a great experience in our first time in Seoul!

5.00Excellent tour, really informative around the Gyeongbokgung Palace where we were right on time for the 10:00 ceremony, the Bukchon Hanok Village where Sheen took us via a less busy track and finally the fantastic Gwangjang Market where one could stay for hours. Throughout he took some great photos of us too. Highly recommend.
Beautiful night tour

5.00Highly recommend this tour. We had so much fun on this activity. Sheen was very knowledgeable and shared interesting background on the sites we visited. The food tour was a nice break in the middle, go hungry it’s a lot! We loved visiting the temple at night to see it all lit up.
Great tour!
